STICK TO THE PLAN

*Read post on DONT AGREE before reading this*

Dear Diary,

Sorry for the break in transmission…I was about to round up my last post when I had a call to attend to a client but after attending to this person, i became so provoked and aggravated with this issue of complacency, I just had somebody ask me

is there was an expiry date to a shelter?!?

Are you serious?

You’ve been in that shelter for well over 5years and you ‘re not tired?!? Get your butt off the welfare line and get a damn job! People like you make my skin color symbolize lack. *hiss*

I know sometimes you need a hand up and shelters or government housing can be a sweet resort but pretty please can you not make that a permanent housing?

Ahhhh…I just needed to get that off my system..k..where was i? I was talking about how you’ve
become comfortable with your $45,000/yr…ooh sorry, that sounds like big money to you eh?

The worst part is there’s something else you’ll rather be doing than sitting there with a plastered smirk on your face!
Okay, ‘d speak for myself here…working a 9-5 doing the rat race earning $45,000/yr wasn’t my original plan (That’s a hypothetical number, not what I earn!)
I’m sticking to my original plan cuz ‘m loyal like dat…i refuse to agree to barely getting by and having not-enuf..i just DON’T AGREE to this threadmill…so join me, lets stick to the original plan of been the great (whatever you’d rather be doing) we intended.

You know, I heard my pastor say something the other day that was so eye opening. When you throw a frog that’s been in cold water into boiling water, the frog LEAPS! And jumps out..like what nonsense is that? But when a frog is thrown into cold water and you gradually turn up the temperature of the water, the frog slowwwwly adjusts to the temperature...then the water gets hotter and still the frog adapts and even when its unbearably hot and boiling..the frog stays there and just dies. That’s how some of us have become, we have agreed to the unpleasant situation.

LESSONS LEARNED

God does not change what you can tolerate or endure

I have learnt that the reason many people will die in their undesired state is because they are not yet fed up with it

If your attitude towards a negative trend is silence, then that’s proof that you are still enjoying it..expect the temperature to get hotter

DON’T AGREE to just be another statistic. There’s a better way to live, invite PROSPERITY & FULFILLMENT to your life today

DONT AGREE!!!

Dear Diary,
I’m having a great summer…gotta love the weather. Over the weekend, I did lots! Hung out with cool people, played a lot , went to a soccer match, picnicked, cooked some delish Nigerian delicacy.

At the soccer match...My team which was my church kicked ass by the way.
Ade..playing with a kid as usual

BBQ at Mississauga Valley was fun
In all my walk-a-bouts, I caught up with old friends in Nigeria and do you know what the biggest wake-up call is? When someone in Nigeria starts to ask you “whats up with you? “ You know that type of qyestion that makes you think of your life??…and if you’re still tryna put one and two together, you start stammering and stuttering .uhmm hmm! And if you’re like me, just take the school cover, “oh am in school now” this school excuse ehn…school no dey end? Ahn ahn..u’ve been there since like 4ever! *Jokes*

Anywayz, Remember when you first moved to your present country from wherever you were? If you’re like me, moving from Nigeria to Canada comes with a lot of promises to oneself. You had dreams you wanted to fulfill, you had plans..BIG PLANS to do something that’s of worth and make those hard earned ‘international dollars’ your parents doled out count for something.

You were going to do exploits…and all those “Oyinbo” (white)people you heard of that lived pay cheque to pay cheque and lived off credit cards, uhmm that certainly wasn’t gonna be you. Even that your aunty that has been In America for the longest time and has a house but its not really her house cuz if she defaults on her mortgage, the bank will come and collect whats rightfully theirs. You didn’t really get that neither did you subscribe to that type of credit lifestyle...infact, you probably criticized her saying,” is it by force to drive a BMW? if you cant pay cash for it Trek na”

One question: what happened?!? How come? How did it come to be that even you now has 7 credit cards and you’ve become comfortable with that 9-5 that you very much dread?
What happened to all your BIG dreams to do this and do that? And be this and be that?
Wait don’t answer, I’ll tell you. You’ve become complacent!

You have AGREED!
