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.
