Life is a Product of Personal Adventure

Life is a product of personal adventures. I have lived to discover that you don’t become great by relying or depending on fellow mortals, no matter how willing they are to help. If you place the responsibility of your success into another man’s hand, you have signed in for disappointments and failure in life. The lasting success you desire can only be your making. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, the ability to triumph begins with you. Man is the architect of his own fortune. The things that pertain to growth in living things, that is, feeding, breathing and body waste disposal, for example, are all processes that have to be performed by the individual himself. No one can breathe for you, no one can eat for you, no one can ‘pee’ or ‘pupu’ for you, you have to do it by yourself. The point I want to make is that a convenient life (and an inconvenient one) is a product of personal adventures. We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish the dream about ourselves. You are all you need for the breakthrough you expect in life.

You need to set yourself loose! That’s what I want to help you do to yourself as I do to myself too, to wake up the creator in us. Take a trip inward, let “you” call “you” and make a decision to set yourself free. Those business ideas you thought about or that you’re thinking about are waiting for you to give expression to them. Our government is not thinking about you, you have to think for yourself and make your relevance known to the government. Those ideas want to cease from being in thought form to something physical. It is high time you moved from working for a living to creating a living. Understand that you earn a living by working with what you learn or trained to do, but you make a living by exploring your potentials. Be self reliant.

I once read an article by Ralph Waldo Emerson on Self Reliance. This article, among other resource, consolidated my quest to do something with my life in an entrepreneurial spirit. That I am more than I think I am.

I will be writing on these in next couple of weeks. These writs are my thoughts and what I choose to do with myself, and I will want people to read and set themselves loose along with me to create a new you, a new society, a new Nigeria, and a new world.

Welcome!
