Honesty is a
beauty glow that keeps the heart beautiful. When the heart is pure, the intent
is noble. The center piece of every action is the heart, for out of the
abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Hence, it is imperative that we guard
the heart with all jealousy.
For relationships
and marriages to work, it must first be established on the premise of
sincerity. You can't be entangled with one whom you don't know; neither can you
last long with one whom you lie to. How have you changed your corner, managed
responsibilities and transformed lives?
We all expect so much from government yet are willing to give little.
Change is an
inside out concept; from the inner to the outer self. Once we can effectively
change our social perceptions, abandon bias, let go of prejudices and eliminate
stereotypes, then have we began a most sincere journey towards a thorough change agenda.
Change they say is
constant. It is perhaps the most used word in Nigeria this year. We constantly
seek to better ourselves, to change our levels, to move up! Change is good, but
then change starts from within before being exuded without. You can't give what
you don't have; neither can you expect what you don't inspect.
Every day, I take
my three year old nephew to school. This has become a morning ritual that we
both have come to like because it allows us bond. The 7-10 minutes’ walk is
quite interesting; it allows him to learn and me to relearn and relive my
childhood days, it helps me change my hitherto held views about being a
caregiver. The experience confers on me a sort of "Father Status"
which is quite emotional for me.
Life is all about
one day at a time no matter the grand plans and goals we have set for
ourselves, we must approach it one after the other. That is the lesson Andre
teaches me every time we make that work. He truly makes me look forward to
birthing my own child and watching him grow to achieve his dreams too.
My
Dear Future Wife
Dear Future Wife,
I am at the moment embracing new knowledge, trying to rise above illusions of
stereotypes, learning how to help out in the kitchen, changing diapers and also
doing the dishes.
Dear future wife,
towards you, my intentions are noble. To share a life filled with joy, bliss
and learning with you. To be an honest companion, willing partner, effective
motivator, unrepentant supporter of your dreams, helping you achieve your goals
just as you inspire me to attain my aspirations.
Dear Future Wife,
I am learning how to be a father. My goal is not to die for you or even catch a
grenade for you or our children. Rather, I pledge never to put you in a
position where the grenade would be thrown. By living for you and our kids, I
can protect you from all harm.
I know you will
