Dreaming or Doing?


 Haja was reading a book on Scientific Discoveries when she suddenly 'received' an award as the greatest scientist in the whole world. She got home immediately after the Award Ceremony and arranged the award together with the twenty-seven others she had received for her invention in the last Three  years. Fulfilled, She called her driver, Mr Abass to go get her three smart kids from school. She was exhausted but she had to pen down her ideas for the next project on her list. 
'Haj Haj', Mrs Moko, Haja's Mum screamed. Haja suddenly receiving reality's warm embrace realised she had been 'lost in thoughts' and hurriedly ran to attend to her Mum.

Here was Haja, a young lady with a bright future who knew she wanted to be better than her present status in life as well as make her parents proud but who, despite her dreams and desires, paid no attention to hardwork, discipline and dedication.

 Sorry for her?... What about you?

 In nanoseconds, you see yourself accomplished, married, addressing a crowd or even receiving an award. But while in this wonderland, you're probably lying down, lost in thoughts or even sleeping.

Then reality sets in...

 The truth is, as long as you continue to do nothing about your dreams, they would only remain dreams and nothing more. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having dreams, but it doesn't end there. There's a need to work towards achieving them.

 Therefore, as much as you see yourself in a mansion, having cool cars, and living a great life, realise that it is not enough to dream! You have to do the needful.



 Don't stop at dreaming, start DOING! Get to work. Let your dreams be a source of inspiration to do better and not a bus stop for relaxation and spectacle.

 Dreaming without the necessary action would always be a terrible waste of precious time and would end with 'had I known' and the uncountable wishes that never end. But again, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. 

 Are you just dreaming or you're actively working towards achieving your dreams?
I leave you to answer that...

    I really like this. The transition of the story, it's not the norm. It's also thought provoking.👍

    Lovely write up, while it's important to dream, don't sleep in the process. Thanks for sharing this!

WE MOVE

2020! Quite an unprecedented year. I am sure you have stories and experiences that shaped your life this year. I do too. Alot. For some, 2020 was a roller coaster. One minute everything was 'normal', the next minute, there's a pandemic that makes you think twice before hugging your neighbour and which declares a face mask an essential 'accessory'. These persons focused on taking one day at a time because of the unprecedented nature of the year. For others, 2020 was the year of their dreams. They were able to implement plans and achieve their goals. The lockdown helped them reflect on their lives and take the necessary steps in the right direction. Did you  just say 'abegggi'?...hold on! Irrespective of how 2020 was for you; good,  bad, 'in between' (yes, this category definitely exists), accept the fact that we can not go back to January 2020 to change things or re-start the year. The only option is to MOVE forward. Now, in mo...

I'M BACK!

Image
2021 has been an eventful year so far! I know it's been a minute. Errrrr, maybe more than a minute. It's been 11 weeks!😂😂😂  I resumed in January 2021 to complete my training at the Nigerian Law School. The pandemic extended the academic calendar and so, I had to use the remaining time judiciously. Rounded off my bar exams last week. Thank God for everything, honestly. I. AM. BACK. 😊 Watch out for amazing and inspiring contents on academics, faith, and lifestyle. I have plans to share my academic journey from the University to Law School with you especially the lessons I learnt and tips I believe will be helpful for undergraduates and aspirants to the Nigerian Bar and so many other amazing contents. I think the appropriate question at this point is:    Thank you for saying YES! Pheyy. 🤗

#YoursTruly03: OLD PLAYLIST

Image
                      I love music. I think that is an interesting fact about me because no day passes without music being a major part of my 24 hours. I have a thing for lyrics and beats too. Once it blesses, edifies and inspires me, there’s a playlist for it. Some days ago, my entire last added playlist rearranged itself. I was like “who sent this one message” at the beginning because, my newly downloaded songs were lost in the crowd of my very long list. But, I realized that some of the songs I was seeing were my jams back in the day.  It’s a cycle. The least played song on your playlist was once the song on repeat and there was a time when that song resonated with your entire being.                 Infact some songs reminded me of some challenges I had passed through at a particular phase of my life. What about the ones that were always on repeat during study ...
