DEFINING YOUR CROWD!

You will always be like those you associate with. I have always believed that another term for communication is ‘Brain Modification’....

those we associate with are always modifying our brains.

So, if you are not happy the way your life is turning out, change your association. On the other hand, if you are happy the way things are going for you, do everything to maintain your current relationships.

Walk with the dreamers. Walk with the believers. Walk with the courageous. Walk with the cheerful. Walk with the planners. Walk with the doers. Walk with the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Walk with those who are not threatened by your little success and your dreams of the future. Walk with those who have ideas with passion to help and lift you......

Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better that what you found in it..... Associate with the creative people wherever you find them, pocket your pride – content has got nothing to do with age.

Talking about age consciousness, this is not just peculiar with Nigerians, I think it is an African problem. The average Africa is consumed by the 'size' of his age. Expectedly, this largely depends on the kinds of people he associates with. He will rather make friend with his 'age mate', than a younger fellow who apparently has what he lacks... To my mind, this is one of the main reasons the only achievement the average African has to his name is his age..................

Irrespective of chronology, when you see someone who is doing or knows what you are breaking your head to know or do, please associate with them! Protect that friendship, it determines where your future is headed.... Make friends with them, go where they go, talk with them, appreciate them, listen to them, be open and receptive to them, let them inspire you. Catch their attitudes, their ways of thinking and living.

The world is limited and small, our dreams and visions are limitless and great, we must patiently persist in growing our greatness, in a very limiting world, most importantly as a developing nation.

Hope is the pillar that holds up the world, keeps it ablaze.... I have always said that as humans, we can survive without food or water for a considerable number of days, but we cannot survive without hope for a day. Hopelessness is the reason for suicide and several other dehumanizing activities or acts people get involved in. Hopelessness!

Associate with those doing what you are dreaming of, those on the same lane you are traveling on... This builds your hope, encourages, you and gives you a positive sense of living.

You must happen!
