The world can’t carry everyone along.
Some will be left behind.
Some will be forgotten.
Some will be abandoned.
But may it not be you and I.
May we never be counted among those who watched destiny pass by… Or those who realised too late that they had been left behind.
May it not be you.
May it not be me.
People can damage your image, criticize your personality, and spread rumours about you, but they can never take away your good deeds. No matter how they describe you, you will always be admired by people who know you best.
At the end of the day, it is your life and no one else’s. This life was granted to YOU and you alone. Make sure you live it on your own terms and not on the terms of anyone else’s, whether in the name of friend, family or spouse.
You are leaving this earth ALONE, just like you came ALONE.
One of the best things you can do for yourself is never to stop reminding yourself that you are not perfect.
We all make mistakes... We all have blind spots that others can see more clearly than we can.
So...
1. Understand that progress is the goal, not perfection... Stay teachable.
2. Stay humble... But unfuckwithable.
3. Stay growing... The greatest enemy of growth is the belief that you have already arrived.
No matter how intelligent, successful, or gifted we are… There will always be something about us we cannot see.
And that is why we judge ourselves by our intentions while the rest of the world judges us by our actions.
That gap is where many of our blind spots live and it is not something we can just hide.
So, be open to learning more about YOU from others who are “genuinely” concerned about you, because the bond you share allows them to see you from an angle you cannot see yourself.
And yes, in some situations… there are people who can explain who you are better than you can explain who you are.
Why?
You know your intentions.
They experience your actions.
You know the battles happening inside your mind.
They see the decisions those battles produce.
They notice and identify patterns quickly.
Stay teachable.
Enjoy June. ✌️
The miracle we want wants us too.
We just need to pay the price attached to every phase of it.
Rejection is a price to pay.
Criticism is a price to pay.
Delay is a price to pay.
Every blessing has a preparation season.
Everybody you meet for this life go only play their destined role and sign out.
You owe yourself everything...
Anybody when help you or come through for you … just understand say it is destined that you will get help from that person at that particular time and hour.
Who no help you right now no mean say that person no go fit come through for you later on, na the battles when you dey fight with your demons you know, everybody dey fight their own too...
So no too reason am and create unnecessary enemies or burn bridges... Na life.
Just filter people when genuinely love you and get you for mind and no let your emotions misjudge them.
We all have our dedicated time, dedicated hour to be favored by people destined to be reachable to us when we need help or when we need them. Life na time and season.
Na why giving up is equal to you playing yourself...
Because naturally life suppose sup for you, na just for you to stay vigilant and ready for your destined and dedicated time and hour when life suppose soft for you.
Life na continuous try your luck situation, na why dem say when there is life, there is hope.
Life na “by force school... we must learn & experience everything we need for our survival. We must learn pain, we must learn heartbreak, we must learn disappointment, we must experience evil and we must experience good.
You go hurt people when go naked swear for you, same way people go play you wetin no good.
No be by hard work, na by understanding how the universe operates.
If you no position yourself, your bus go leave you go, but the good thing na say another bus go come again, and if you Dey lucky, e go come in 24-48 hrs… if you still Dey lucky, e go come in 1 or 2 years time.
Anytime e come, na your time, dem no dey catch late comer for airport.
The only time when nothing concern you and luck na make your bus Dey road Dey come make death first your bus reach your bus stop. Na hin be labor in vain.
But as long as air dey comot through your nose and enter your nose, your duty na to continue to throw your dice in every direction.
Double 6 moment dey everybody pathway... Na your determination be your best friend.
So... #FireUp.
If it happens that I die tomorrow, keep the same energy and attitude you have with me today when I'm alive. Don't try to show too much love when I'm dead, it will be too late for that.
