There’s a powerful idea that has quietly shaped the lives of successful people across every field: at any point in life, you’ll almost always have two out of three things — time, money, and knowledge. Rarely do we have all three at once, and that’s not a disadvantage. In fact, the real secret lies in learning how to use the two you do have to gain the third. Think about it. If you have...

There is no certainties.
There is no sureties.
All that is certain is the uncertainty of life.
All that we share is the certainty of death.
That a life comes to an end.
And there is no tomorrow.
So while we are here yet,
while we are here now today,
live.
Not exist.
Live.
For you never know.
All you know is the uncertainty.
I believe joy must feel different to everyone. What joy feels like to me must be different from what joy feels like to you. But sadness must be universal, and so must grief. Losing someone you love is the highest quality grief you would ever feel. I am sorry about the word quality. But the depth and breath of that emotion give to its quality. But you see, losing yourself is the greatest loss...
It was a chilled day at work and all of a sudden, here comes the lingering debate on who the biggest afro-beat artist is. At the heart of this are my work colleagues; Belema, a sworn member of the Wizkid’s FC nation, and Sayo a loyal daughter of the 30BG family. Who wins an argument against a Nigerian??? Good thing both are… Amidst all these, their fantasies didn’t fascinate...
Growing up, I often heard the saying, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.” But it wasn’t until I heard an old man tell a story that I truly understood it. He spoke of a boy named Tunde who dreamed of becoming a scholar. However, he lived in a small village with no access to books or teachers. His dream seemed too far away, and fear of the long road ahead made...
In a world that’s always buzzing with things to do, boredom has become something we try to escape at all costs. We fill every spare moment with our phones, social media, and endless to-do lists. But what if boredom is actually a gift? What if those quiet, empty moments are exactly what we need to grow in ways we rarely consider? One surprising benefit of boredom is that it’s a spark for...
In your journey of life, one day you suddenly understand time in perspective. It takes a human’s time from 1 day to an average of 90 and 150 years for the most extreme to grow and then die. It takes a tomato plant 30 days to 3 months. It takes a tree a few hundred years. And mountains a few thousand years. And so you wonder where you are in the midst of this. Are we but a puff of smoke in...
The random rumblings in my mind. I think of Life In the incremental ways that you look at a situation and gain more insight as time passes. But to do that, you require an open mind, otherwise you end up with a skewed view. The radical notion that all people who pass through your life add a sketch to the drawing called your life is called being existing – being alive. A friend who is also a...
No one actually has their life perfectly figured out. Shocking, right? We scroll through social media seeing these amazing highlight reels of people traveling the world, acing their careers, and rocking flawless relationships, and it’s easy to feel like we’re falling short. But here’s the truth: everyone is winging it, even those who seem to have it all. So let’s let go...
