Iyanuoluwani,
I'm proud of the woman
you're becoming. Spiritually, physically, financially, intellectually, dreams’ically,
emotionally, psychologically, career’cally, relationships’cally… I'm oh so proud.
I'm also glad you can
proudly say "I'm the girl who God has helped".
I do realise we don't
speak to each other a lot in writing, so this is a bit awkward and so, I’ll
just drive straight to the point:
I often forget how pretty
awesome I am. But don’t you ever forget how awesome YOU are. Be aware of your worth, your gifts and your strengths; constantly. You are a premium treat and you can't force everyone to have a fine taste, so even if one or two people ‘tend’ not
to appreciate you, others do and you always should. Don't
deny the world of your essence.
Also remember you can
never control what someone else does, you can only control your actions and
reactions. You can be the very best, as in textbook perfect, but you can't
control how others want to treat you. It's up to you to make sure you never
forget your self-worth.
I've seen how very deeply
you can care about a person or a cause. I know how deeply vulnerable you can
be; how careful and protective you can be; how adventurous you can also be; how
loyal, seriously tough, dogged and stern you can be. Feel free to express the
innate you, however the Spirit allows you at every point in time.
Remember, you can always do
better with what you are and what you have; good or bad. Always. And while you’re
at it, take someone else with you. There is nothing cool about everything
starting and ending with you. Nothing at all.
Pick your battles
carefully and your weapons too.
Don't ever let life's hardships colour you bad.
Don't lose yourself. Be well and find happiness in all the good things that surround
you. I know how much you love surprises, so
surprise yourself and those around you every once in a while. When you do things
for people, lose every interest in having them show gratitude to you; or you’ll
be very disappointed most of the time.
No one will handle your
goals as passionately as you would. Therefore, never put your goals, happiness,
in the hands of any other person. They will most likely mess you up. Remember the
bible says "the arm of flesh will surely fail...”
I know you are in the
process of learning to save not just for the rainy days but for sunny days
too... splurge selectively, cos you you've been a good girl so long and you deserve
to be pampered regularly... *wink #TheBestOrNothing
God is willing to give
you a life better than you have dreamed of for yourself but never ever forget that
pride goes before a fall… #selah
Lastly, make me proud
babygirl, make the people that matter proud and most importantly, make God
proud; and while you're at it, stay away from all that sugar, drink a lot of
water, and don't stop laughing hard; get your dancing acts together, your swimming acts too :l
Remember that in the end,
it’s not the end. So, prepare for that which comes after the end #selah.
Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress.
All my love,
Me
