Stop looking at the bigger picture.
Nigeria is not a place where you only look at the good things that could happen to you.
Our country is a place you must pay attention to all the bad things. But without letting it affecting your sanity of life.
People will die. Tragedy will happen. Marriage will scatter. And relationships will go south.
You must maintain only one thing: your inner peace.
But how?
Exactly. That is where plenty religious leaders and educational systems got it wrong. Secretly they are leading people astray.
The Only One Way to Find Peace of Mind
Is to accept you might die without living your dream.
You can die at 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years.
And if you're lucky you might live to reach 90 or 95 (although I doubted it).
But never gamble your inner peace on that. 95 years is not certain for anyone.
Even in countries where they have everything placing on the tables for them, citizens of that countries are still dying young.
And now you want to compare Nigeria to that?
Be Certain You or Your Spouse and Family Members Can Die (at any time)
Live your life on that reality.
Let it guide you.
Be prepared for it.
Because whether you know it or not both me and you can varnished out of thin air.
And that should make us humble. It should give us a sense of direction.
It should makes us wanted to live a different life.
Limit How You Talk About Politics
These leaders out there are not interested in giving peace of mind to you and your household.
They will rather create more fears and makes you shït your pants.
How?
Through the news you hear and the stories people are passing all around.
Those stories are real, sure. But for Christ sake don't let it destroy your inner peace.
People who are dead or found themselves in those situations some of them even did prayers and fasting more than you.
You were just lucky.
(Read that again).
And God just shower His blessings and mercy on you.
This is not me pointing a finger to anyone or anything.
This is just me following my heart and writing whatever comes to my mind.
I hope it find you where you can germinate and process it.
