Blessing's Spectacular year cont'd
What would you attribute such a significant year of success to, that was not the case for you in prior years of your career?
Blessing: Other than God who has always given the strength, I will say persistence
Blessing: Hahaha.... I will say it's been great so far.
Now coming off of such a fantastic year you have raised the bar in terms of expectations from your fans around the world, your countrymen, women and Africans around the world. How satisfying has 2014 been for you and what would you say to all those out there that are looking for more spectacular performances from you in 2015 and beyond?
Blessing: 2014 was a great year for me but, everything I did in 2014 is to prepare me for 2015 and 2016. Expectations wise... I understand my fans wants to see more and I really appreciate their support. The truth is I have my own expectations and until that is achieved, what others expectations are shouldn't be my focus.
Many a times you would hear other athletes talk about drawing inspiration from either from something or someone or in most cases, a higher power, where does Blessing draw inspiration from and how do you keep your focus to stay so successful?
Blessing: My inspiration come from listening and studying the word of God, listening to gospel songs and people in general. Critics are not excluded...
