Life Lessons from Elders

It’s finally Feb 14th. The noise is loud, but his silence is louder. He knows the real work starts tomorrow. 👀👴🏾❤️

Listen to me clearly: Your body... is not a Valentine’s gift.Do not wrap yourself with a bow for anybody. Do not think that your skin is a souvenir for a special occasion."

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone celebrating! 🌹✨
The eateries are full, the balloons are flying, and the pressure is on. But look at Pa Eromosele sitting right in the middle of the hype. That smile is the look of patience. He has seen fifty of these days come and go.
He knows that today is the easy part. Buying chocolates and dressing up is easy. Staying committed when the decorations come down, the money is tight, and life gets real? That is the true test.
Enjoy the beautiful vibes today, but don't get lost in the sauce. A relationship built only on dates and grand gestures will collapse under the weight of routine. Build something that lasts longer than these flowers will. 💯

You are crying because they spoiled your name and your helper left? 😢 Pa Eromosele says: "Let them go. A helper who listens to rumors was never a helper." Remember: "Door wey close na bad road." God slammed that door to save your life. 🚧🙏🏿 Type "ALL THINGS WORK" if you trust God's plan.

That is what Pa Eromosele asked when he saw me crying over my phone. He pointed to the w**d in the garden and then to the great tree in the forest.
He said: "The w**d grows overnight. The Iroko takes a lifetime. The w**d dies in the dry season. The Iroko survives the fire. You want the money NOW? You want the fame NOW? Then you will disappear NOW."
To the 25-year-old feeling lost: You are not buried; you are planted. 🌱 Darkness is necessary for the seed to crack open. Stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.
Are you ready to grow roots? Type "I WILL BE PATIENT" 👇🏿

The hand that gives is the hand they kiss. When it is empty, they bite it." 🐍 Don't cry because they left. Use it as fuel. When you make money again—and you will make money—remember who didn't pick your call today. 📵 Type "I WILL RISE" if you are bouncing back! 💪🏿

In one hot minute, you can destroy what took 10 years to build.
