Would You be Crazy?

Let’s beware of little fears that threaten our dreams, that hinder our actions and rob us of our inner fulfillment. Let’s take charge and speak to our minds, lets challenge our inner selves to go the extra limit. I know you are reading now and thinking, “na so e easy”… I know its not because I have been there, am still there, and even right now my inner self is saying, what on earth are you talking about; have you forgotten that project you are delaying just because you are scared; have you forgotten that guy you haven’t said yes to just because you are scared, have you forgotten that trip you haven’t made just because you are scared, or wait a second have you forgotten quickly that dream you are holding back just because you are scared.

But guess what this is my way of fighting back, my way of saying, I haven’t forgotten but am doing something about it, and the first thing is owning up. You know the other thing that would help me fight my fears; it’s having people like you stand up against their own fears too and say; I'm going to be the best I can and don’t care who thinks I can't… I am going to do the impossible and I don’t care if I fail… I am going to love like never before and I don’t care if I get hurt… I am going to unveil my dream and I don’t care if the world thinks am crazy.

Because on a second thought I DO want to be CRAZY, because I want to CONQUER… take the world by storm and be great. I want to REACH heights no one has ever reached, do things no one has dreamed of, venture into places no one has thought possible. I want to ACCOMPLISH the greatest of things, beat the world’s record of greatest accomplishments. I want to ZIP up the mouths of people who thought I couldn’t, people who said you can’t and I told them Watch me, people who still at this moment are watching and keeping the faith that one day I might falter, I want to forever silence them. I so want to be able to say YES!!!! At last I'm fulfilled, I'm satisfied, I feel joy within me…

If I can be able to do all that, then who says being CRAZY is a bad thing?

::: Great!!! this is the picture on my mind: a wooden baby walker right in front of the baby and he sits there wishing to join the grown ups; his only aid is the walker. So we also have to dare our fears, pick up our walker and join the train or sit there wishing :::

My Daily Bread

The body of a goddess...that's how I thought of her. With shoulders slightly broad; making you think of just the right amount of comfort, narrowing down to her waist...the tiniest I had ever seen....then the roundness of her buttocks, with a firmness that made you want to grab them hard. Watching her undress was pleasurable, caressing every part of her with my eyes, taking time to linger on all the right places...a goddess amongst men. She stepped into the bathroom, leaving me eagerly waiting for her reappearance. I wanted to have her now...I shifted to ease the pain throbbing in the bulge between my legs. I waited patiently for her return...longest moments of my life. Ah!!! there she was. I felt like prancing on her like a Lion on heat, but I had to wait...I knew I had to wait. I did not want to scare her off, that's why I had to be discreet - even while watching her. I looked at my time; 6.25am - it was almost time, five more minutes and he would be gone. I had watched them...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

The Acknowledgement

Like from a distance, I could hear my mother’s cry…more like wailings. She sounded like a wounded lion that was going to scream her heart out, as she repeatedly screamed my name… Adeola! Adeola! Adeola!! Unshaken I stood there staring at the body of my father….or at least the man who used to be my father, until a few minutes ago. I willed myself back to the room and the activity around me…the lifeless body of my father lay on the bed, with a knife poking out of his chest. The crimson color of his blood gradually taking over the once ash colored pajamas he wore. I had just stabbed my father in the chest…with a force ad precision that left no room for his survival. ******************************************************************************** The sound of the bell rang through the long corridors signifying the time for counseling sessions. Reluctantly I got up from my bed, dragging through the process of wearing my flops and throwing my shirt on. Buttoning up with the speed of a...
