It appears that we are a lot better when we think outside of the box because that is where better options are found but the problem with leaving the first is loyalty. We are loyal to friends who weren't there for us, we are loyal to family members who breached the brotherly trust and we are also loyal to the pressing iron which once burnt our cloths because we know how it used to be.

Today, a lot of people talk about the good old days as if there is anything in it. Our parents who lived in those days are still with us and they are yet to tell us that it was a perfect period of time in the Nigerian history! Truth be told, mistakes were made because some of them are still so glaring. When people open their mouths to talk about the past, just know that you will encounter two things which border on either their regrets or their past glories. I have mine too but the good thing is that we are not here to talk about them.

What you're not able to let go of becomes part of it and the outcome becomes your reality. Yes, our parents did well but their days are not our days for the children yet to come would wonder if their testimonies of then would be hinged on our groanings of now. So, whatever the heck you have in mind about the past justifies the fact that it is where it belongs.

In the past, people communicated fluently because they went to school but now lack of jobs after school deters people from continuing in it. So, people can now communicate fearlessly, drastically and sheepishly because the boldness is not there. When some people open their mouth, it seems as if a paranoid state is initiated but we can endure all these because correcting some people is now termed pride. So, we better understand our inner selves first.

To initiate change, you have to take a moment to forget what so many people did and failed then sit down to calculate how to do a new thing! Even though, you are not God, you can achieve something on your own!

Come to think of it, have you wondered why people distance themselves from people who they think are failures? It is because they don't want the disease to spread to them. In the level of status quo, there is no room for improvement! To actually do something, you have to shake up some people, some places and some habits a bit. Right now, the ground is shifting! Stand on the solid one.

A sure way to avoid being a failure is to avoid letting what you think people would say about you to control you because in it, comes fear. So long as you're doing the right thing, listen to your innerself. To do that, you have to think of how to make the impossibility to be possible and that comes in gradual steps! First, think out of the box because their exists other options but be loyal to the hand that fed you when you had no capacity to do so.

Running away from all sentimental conclusions, I want to say that any power that wants to help you will leverage on what you have been doing so far and in addition, you have to change if it doesn't work!

With all gratitude to my peace of mind, and speaking without bias.
