More-The Tapped and The Fetched

I saw Funke Akindele’s picture in 2008, I was pretty shocked. What was beautiful and celebrated by people in that year is now archaic.

When a man launches his new idea, however great, even if the whole world celebrates it instantaneously, it may not last for a year in the minds of men, they shout more immediately they consume the idea. It can only be best for that moment, few moments after, another best swallows the best. More!

Everyday, new ideas, songs, movies, teachings, podcasts, books are released, yet, men are never satisfied, once one is consumed, all you will hear is, “what is next?”. Men need more!

Those who shout more believe that the well never runs dry. Yes, the well is always overflowing, just that only few minds dig for the more. Human beings are created with more (the power of creativity). Everyone on earth has the grace to create, though in different capacities and dimensions.

Many people have neglected fetching from their well of more! Many people throw away or shelf what should feed the minds men.

Many people stopped to ‘fetch’ from this well of more, they settled for ‘the tapped’. Only few people celebrate the tapped. People celebrate ‘the fetched’ more than ‘the tapped’. It takes rigor and time to fetch, it takes resilience to create what will last in the minds of men.

People who will be relevant for not just a season but for all seasons are those who are ready to fetch from the well of more created in them by God, the well of creativity. They are the people who do not always rely on other people’s wisdom and opinion without taking time to meditate and create solutions by themselves.

For you to be relevant, for men to consume your more and never tired, you must continually contend for the more by fetching.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them) Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal. Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal. Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
