Failed Dreams


She was a young girl that lived across the street. She had the cutest face and dimples that was like no other. I was and have always been a shy boy. Every time she stepped out of her house across the street, it was as if I had an automatic notification. I would always peep through our window and watch her walk gracefully, I would stare at her and wallow in self-pity because I wasn’t bold enough to reach out to her and every time she walks pass my house and glanced at my window, I would jump off out of fear, hoping she didn’t notice I was starring.
I had zero confidence in myself and I always took out that frustration by hitting anything and everything in sight till I fill so much pain and then I would sulk and cry the pain out. It was so much torture. I just couldn’t help but think of her every time I saw her and even when I didn’t but I was always shy of relieving myself of this gruesome pain and excessive burden until one day, she came out of her house and as usual,  I peeped through the window. She walked through the street with so much tranquility and carefulness. It almost seemed like she knew I was starring at her.
She looked back and waved. I got heart struck immediately and swiftly moved away from the window not knowing that was a good bye wave. I smiled and was happy about this but unfortunately she was reported dead the next day as she was hit by a bus on her way back home. I felt extremely traumatized as tears couldn't stop pouring from my eyes and everyother part of my body knowing fully well that my emotions and feelings for her died in me without expressing myself.

LESSON - NEVER EVER ALLOW YOUR DREAMS BE LIKE A MAN WHO CAN'T EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS TO A LADY UNTIL HE LOOSES HIS CHANCE AND ALLOWS THIS FEELING  DIE AND DECAY IN HIM. BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TAKE ACTIONS TO ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS UNTIL IT AGRRES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AND OBEY YOUR EVERY COMMAND. YOU CAN MAKE IT ONLY IF YOU FACE YOUR FEARS AND TAKE THOSE BIG STEPS SO FIND THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENTIAL FOR YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR FUTURE AMBITIONS AND LET OUT YOUR CAGED POTENTIALS.

We have been witnessing cleaning exercises but this one got a different grading. Heroes Nation Social Change Ambassadors did a very wonderful sanitation exercises at Ipata Market, Ilorin, Kwara State. Where the SDGs (Goals 3, 6 & 13) were the Focus of the Sanitation and Sensitization today. The exercise commenced at 7am with the presence of the Nigerian Red Cross Ilorin Chapter, Corp members of sanitation and environment CDS, Kwara State ministry of environment and some volunteers who heard about the project from friends and social media publicity.

This activity revealed some of the heart cries of some of the marketers who marveled at the energetic, cheerful and interactive ...

YES! YOU CAN.

Why are you doubting the capacity of your ability? Why are you scared of launching the goodies in you? Making the precious stones to glitter is one of the paramount thing why we are created. Do you know that  MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a time when Nigerians did not have phones. Even Zenith Bank refused to loan MTN cash to operate,UBA rejected MTN's offer but today see the difference. What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria,they made milk in a sachet, Peak was laughing at them - they said Cowbell was milk for the poor - but they were right! 3-million poor people could afford N10 a day for a sachet of milk.Oya, do the math - 3 million people buying milkat N10.00- that was N30million every single day.In a month they grossed N900million (almost N1billion).Even Peak had to make sachet milk in order to survive in the market. So what have people told you?What have they said you cannot do, or you do not qualify for, or...

I CAN

There's always a way to do everything. There's nothing named "CAN'T". Too often we fail in our efforts because we have been brought up believing that we cannot do some things. The people who change the world are people who have taken impossible out of their dictionaries. The men and women who make changes in history are those who came against the odds and believing that it's impossible for the odds to stop them. No one can determine how much you can produce except you and God. So there is nothing in this world that should stop you from accomplishing, realising, fulfilling and maximising your full potential.  If you think it, you can do it. If you can conceive it, the fact that you can conceive it means you can do it.  It doesn't matter if it's never been done. Likewise, if you never THOUGHT of it, then you can't do it. Thinking doesn't get it done alone, it also implies that you can do it. Picture yourself doing the things in your tho...
