We always want more.

Hiya!


Happy Sunday! I hope you’re all having a great day. Mine has been beautiful — service was awesome, and they even shared jollof afterwards. After church, I took a short ride to clear my head and think about what to write to you tonight, but nothing really came up.

Isn’t it funny how we spend so much of our lives dreaming of the next place, the next season, the “somewhere else” that promises to be better than here? Anyway, let me gist you about my calls with two of my friends today — Seun and Jokunle. 


Seun is tired of the situation in the country and wishes she could travel. Don’t we all? I just advised her to keep putting in her best in everything she does. Someday, everything will align — and if it doesn’t, at least she’ll know she tried her best. I actually wrote about this a few years ago; you can read it here: “Not Good Enough.”


Jokunle, on the other hand, lives in the United Kingdom and travels around the world. I wish I could be like JojoMoney — touring Europe and seeing the world from a different atmosphere. He just got back from a vacation in America, and now he doesn’t want to stay in the UK like he used to. Seeing the world from America changed his perspective; it’s like a sweetener he doesn’t want to lose the taste of. If he could live in America, he would stay there forever.

There was a time when Jokunle’s dream was exactly like Seun’s — just get out of the country. Now that he’s out, he wants to be somewhere else. And one day, when Seun leaves, she’ll probably want to be somewhere else too. It goes on and on like that. Remember that quote Lord Baelish told Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones?

“It doesn’t matter what we want. Once we get it, then we want something else.”


Remember, there was a time you prayed for something you have now. *Winks.




Catch you tomorrow!

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t...

Together under this weather.

Did you remember the new phone I told you about a few days ago? Yeah? Well, I got back from work today and told myself, I didn’t buy this phone to become a shelf king. Why keep it and not use it? I’d been too lazy to transfer my data because I assumed it would be a long, stressful process. I hardly change phones — in the last 10 years, this would be my third phone. I don’t like changing phones for any reason, which is why I always think long-term whenever I buy one. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I asked ChatGPT how to transfer my data from the old phone to the new one. Apparently, it was a very simple process. I followed the steps exactly as they were laid out, and in a few minutes my 250GB of data began transferring. Since it was going to take hours, I took the opportunity to clean the entire house and do some laundry. Still transferring… so I jumped into the car, went shopping, came back home, had my dinner, and shortly after — everything had been transferred. I went straig...

It’s getting lonely now.

 Hmmmmmm For the first time in many years, the idea of building my family is truly appealing to me. The wife of my youth, my little ones-to-be, my sanctuary, and my heart’s work—all of it is starting to make sense now. I’ve always shied away from any conversation about family; not because I don’t want one, but because I feel I’m not ready. There’s so much I need to put in order, and I feel far from the goals I’ve set for myself. I remember one of my mentors calling me a few months ago to ask about my plans for raising a family. I quickly told him I wasn’t ready—and in truth, I wasn’t. But will I ever be? Today, I went Christmas shopping. Everyone in the store seemed to have their wives and kids with them, picking out what they needed for the holidays. The place was buzzing with excitement—kids choosing their favorite toys, husbands and wives looking at decorations, laughter and chatter filling the air. Looking at it all—the atmosphere, the moment, the feeling—something stirred ...
