I woke up today feeling very low, for many reasons. Not a good way to start the month, so I tried to shake it off. While surfing the net, I saw pictures of the 14 year old Ghanaian star Abraham Attah pictured above and it put a smile on my face. The young lad’s story is one that inspires and reminds us that God is indeed alive and still makes dreams come true. Abraham Attah until about a year ago was just another Ghanaian kid. He was discovered in Ghana while playing football in the street (not hawking as was reported by some media) & cast in the film Beasts of No Nation alongside Idris Elba.
In a year he has been groomed, developed, coached and has just won Best Male Actor at the Independent Spirit Awards. He also presented an Award at the Oscars. Because of his achievements, shoe designer Toms donated 10,000 shoes to Ghana, for kids and the less privileged(he wore black suede toms to the oscars by the way) .
He is already filming his 2nd movie and looks very promising for winning an Oscar some day soon. Moral of the story: No matter what you’re going through, or how gloomy things may seem, your story can change your story when you least expect it. Never give up, keep hope and faith alive and trust God. He can literally bring your blessings to your doorstep, literally. I’m sure if anyone had told Abraham or his parents he will end up in Hollywood, they will have looked at that person like he/she was crazy.
