"I CAN" AND "I WILL"

Two days ago, I had to join Deborah Adewale at Iganmode Grammar School to celebrate her moment of grace and joy with the young and amazing student leaders of #DreamCode. And we were so blessed to have spent such a great time together.

I took a session on Time Management and also talked a bit about the law of attraction.

The session was so inspiring and I never knew when I started sharing some personal stories.

I shared with them one of the powerful words I used when I feel some little things are discouraging me to see achievement in what i had imagined.

There was a day this event happened to me. I was thinking too much about a goal. I felt it's not yet time for it. One mind was telling me to give up. And the other was giving solo courage. So, it happens sometimes like that. That we go out to inspire people, but at the corner of our rooms too, we need people to wake us up.

So, I stood up. I moved to the mirror. I was looking at myself. And thinking about that goal. I started imagining the goal has already been achieved. I was seeing myself in the picture. So while returning to my consciousness, these words flew in. And I screamed "I CANnnnnn and I WILL".

I repeated this twice. And I felt some new energies released in me. I got reconnected to the power of possibilities. But I never allowed it to stop there. I took a step to make it happen after a few days. Thou, it wasn't as excellent as I had thought. But it happened.

Don't scream too hard like I did two days ago. I almost moved to another realm. But thank God, the law of elasticity applied itself. I recovered.

A lot of great messages were delivered. I also learned a lot from the student leaders.

I don't miss opportunities sharing life and love with kids and teenagers.

I also shared them a poem that i learned when I was 8 years.
___
Time
Waste no time
For it is precious
Time wait for no one
Spend your time wisely
Every second and every minute
Every hour of the day
All its precious are important
Time wasted cannot be regained
Listen and learn my dear friend
For you to grow great in life
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in the store
For time is precious
Don't waste it.

I hope you will share this with your kids and students too.

Mr. Boat passed it to me. And I'm passing it forward to you all.

I believe in the power of young people in changing and shaping the world.

We might not be able to do all. But the little we do will surely go along way.

We won't get tired of sharing the little weforave to teenagers and youths who deserve it. I've come to realize that I wasn't created to live and leave. But to live and leave a great legacy behind. The words we share are real. And they are life-changing. I pledge to remain a catalyst for change in my community and to the world at large.
