To Find You - You Must Get Lost


It’s not uncommon that we human are a like jellyfish around challenges. Once it’s evident that the result is not as expected the natural instinctive reaction is to jump ship and abandon the journey. We so much enjoy comfort that we usually forget the fact that it must be worked for in order to have it.

No matter how little or huge a challenge is, the ultimate purpose is not to get you off the rail but the sole aim is to test your ability, strength and importantly weigh how much you really desire the prize and at what degree you are willing to endure the challenges and hardship to secure it.

Majority of us have no clue what we are capable of until we get challenged with something beyond us. Surviving becomes the only option available to us and we will continue to strive to get out of that situation by giving it all it takes – during this process we will feel like we are lost in the wilderness and the world is against us. However, this is just a transformation stage that’s required to get to your desired destination.

In most cases, the universe is designed in a way that in other to have Item C then you may have to go through Z to T and back to G then Z and onward to C eventually but lack of patience in we humans and our inability to believe in our ability along with self-doubt has robbed us of what naturally belongs to us.

Having a delay on your route or missing your path is not a conclusion that the world is against you. Some delays are not only essential for your protection but are tied to your development too. If you are destined to hit the jackpot at age 40, no matter how much you try in your 20’s and in your 30’s – you are only accumulating miles. 

Sometimes – during those challenging period, you will need those experiences when you eventually reach your destination, so avoiding your challenges could be that you are not only postponing your dream reaching date but also robbing yourself of all the necessary experiences and networking that you could have gathered along the line.

Take the precious metal – Gold, for instance. This metal is synonymous with wealth and affluence. And it’s being used worldwide to guarantee the value of currencies. But the journey of Gold didn’t start from a comfort zone. The Gold mining process involves a lot of dredging and extraction process and once this precious stone is found then it still has to go through various other processes from melting in a high degree burning furnace, casting to carving and polishing.

Then the result is those jewelleries you find attractive in jewellers’ showrooms and being worn by the mighty and wealthy in the society. Gold was just another metal until it went through and endured the process of becoming precious and adorable.

It’s okay to get lost, just as it’s okay to find your path back.
Endure your metal process in order to meet your precious stone self.

I don’t know about you – I am a Gold in the making.

My Journey – My Sacrifices.

My Journey – My Sacrifices. Every time you embark on bringing a desire to reality, a journey lifecycle is born and for this journey path to end as you wish, it is paramount and inevitable to make sacrifices along the line! People of faith, either as Christians, Muslims or traditionalists would understand and agree that the practice of sacrifices to God and gods is a necessity. And all these sacrifices can come up in various ways in our daily path which includes but not limited to the following: Anger:  This enemy of progress is not in any form in your way to make things easy but to complicate your journey.  Anger is a normal human emotion and it’s healthy, it’s only a problem when you as human allow the anger to control you rather than you in control.

The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success.

By
The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success. Both Ade and Emeka were born in the digital age i.e. in the 90’s! Those who were born before this period had to go extra miles in achieving their aims in life, access to data and information were very limited and technology wasn’t advanced enough to aid individual desires – that is not the same for the 90’s kids. They both attended same high school and were neighbours in Rukuba Barracks in Jos where their fathers are stationed as soldiers serving the nation. Emeka’s father was transferred over to Jos from Enugu and Ade’s father was transferred to Jos from Lagos, the boys were very young when they had to move to Jos with their parents. It was so quick and easy for them to form friendship; they are not just neighbours but newbies and non-locals in the barrack where majority of the soldiers are local men from Lanagtang, Wase, Jos, Pankshin, Barkin Ladi, Shendam, Mangu etc. within the state. As they
