Once upon a time, I just wanted to love and be loved. I was ready to sacrifice my dream[ not sure I had any], but I was ready to give whatever just to be with love, but when I didn't get the love I desired, my perspective about life changed.
Love isn't enough

When I failed to achieve the one thing that mattered to me, I felt shattered, but I didn't render myself useless. Heartbreak begets dreams, and dreams require hard work. If I can't get the one I desire, I can as well pursue greatness.
Heartbreak is one of the biggest motivations
God was good to me; my hard work paid off. I was smashing my goals back to back, and my prayer point keeps getting bigger. Sometimes I looked back and smiled because I am so proud of myself, I survived the hard times, didn't quit when I was tired, instead I prayed for strength to withstand it.
Hard work pays

During the COVID-19 lockdown, my family could not go out to earn, and it was left for me to either watch them suffer or come to their rescue, I chose the latter and was able to support them until the lockdown was over, even though that exposes me that I had money and capable to take care of them, because before that time, I was enjoying the last born privilege and no one was asking me for money and i did well not to ask them either but now, everything is clear to them, even though I got exposed I didn't regret supporting them during that time of need. I was glad I could be of help because that is what family is all about: to support one another in times of need.
Family is everything
I did not take procreation seriously until recently. We may not need our family now that we are strong and agile, but when we live life and become old, they will be our bedrock, they will be the one who takes care of us when our bodies fail us, they will be the ones to carry on with our legacy. Moreover, one of the greatest feelings on earth is what we feel when we carry our flesh and bones.
There is always something worth living for
Death is inevitable; it should not scare us because, whether we like it or not, we are going to die someday. The prayer is that we should live well, we should grow old with family and kids, and die a peaceful death.
