Dare to be you.

I have always been an adult, but meeting Ali has bought out the kid in me.

The hardest part for me has been  to be  me,  my! Worry should have been my second name. "You enjoy worrying Oyinda" Ali would mutter. I could not just let go, I always wanted to be perfect,not for myself but for everyone else, I craved for people to like me, I wanted to be the light in the party, yes you guessed right, I never hit the mark.

I have lost a lot of friends whom were ready to let me be Oyinda, but because I was busy trying to be a perceived notion, I was a very unhappy person.

At work, I saw everything as a personal vendetta, trying to please everybody,  i was so stupid that i also had to ammend myself because of neighbors, O ma se o! (What a pity in Yoruba) Mumu girl (Oyinda).

The point is that the people I was trying to please are never impressed.image

What a waste of time,  be yourself always.

 

Life is worth living happy.

    Oyinda, true words.
    The people we are trying to impress don't even take notice.
    I've learnt to be myself and satisfy myself and no one else.

Who cares?

Live your dream Being Successful is relative; relative is a word that strikes my mind because we define what success is. When things are finally looking up, you have nagging thoughts “will this success stay forever? I hope I will not fail again, I hope this is finally it!” happens to me . Candidly, we were born to create, control and rule, we have this natural instinct to want more things, grow from phase to phase, different things, but one thing that is constant is the fact we need to move forward. Success is achieving set goals, goals are not tasks, they are what you want to achieve at a point in time, and the goal has to be timed. We finally achieve the goal, which is success, and you reward yourself, and it does not feel as you imagined it will be, maybe you have poured yourself into the mould that you have lost a number of relationships, you have been too hard on yourself, you never enjoyed your path to success, you have a feeling of emptiness, Success is not meant to feel wrong! ...

I have been opportuned to be part of various projects, I have driven volumes for my respective territories or Area.
