I know I have grown older or maybe I
have just become boring. I wrote my short wish list and I thought about my 20th
and 21st birthday wish list and I knew there has been a total
transformation.
A lot has happened; I have lost 2
friends to plane crash and to Nigeria’s poor healthcare management respectively.
The reality of how short life is has
hit me hard in the face:
I have decided that as I clock 24, my
life is going to be what I decide to make out of it and therefore, I would Live
life to the fullest, no inhibitions and I mean that positively only.
I wish for a better Nigeria without
the bombings, killings and cruelty.
I wish that my destiny and purpose in
life is actualized.
These days I get restless, it feels
like there is something missing in my life and I know what that is about. The
hunger and thirst for more exploration, my dreams to be actualised: I can’t
keep talking about it, I have to start living it.
I wish to be a blessing to people and
touch as many lives as possible
(Making others smile puts a lasting smile
on your face…. Bolade)
I wish for more wisdom, excellent
health and lasting happiness
I wish to be better in every area of
my life
There goes my wishlist!!
Thus on this note, I am declaring
some things to myself and I want to live by this: I have started and sometimes
I fall short.. I check myself again and get back up..
Life is a learning process:
1. I will never speak or think
negatively about myself for that puts me in disagreement with
God’s thoughts of me which are always good and not evil to bring me to an
expected end.
2. I will mediate on my strengths and
learn to encourage myself
3. I will not compare myself to
anyone else, I am unique and one of a kind.
4. I will focus on my potentials not
on my limitations.
5. I will do everything I have to do,
well and with excellence.
6. I pray for courage to be different,
to please God and not people
7. I will learn to handle criticism.
I will let it develop me, not discourage me.
8. I will determine my own worth
before someone else does it for me
9. I will learn from my mistakes, I
am a work in progress.
10. I will focus on my greatest
source of confidence - my God
We are buried in sin but God says He
will cleanse us from all the guilt of our sin and forgive all my rebellion
against Him!
Yes sometimes we mourn but God
promises restoration! Sometimes we are sick but He promises health and healing!
Other wish list items:
1. White Suit
2. Orange pants, shoe and bag
3. Colourful bandage dress
10. Sequined Shorts
14. Blue pumps
