LAUNCHING DeeP

If you went fishing and every fish you caught was a fingerling, all you needed to do was to launch deep!
Big Wins are mostly deep deep down; those on the surface were already discovered!

Many of us have dreams/goals (fishes) we want to achieve within a period of time. No doubt about that, but how do we approach such dreams?

The fisherman is not in the sea with a mindset of getting fingerlings to rear (he doesn't have a pond); his aim is to get big fishes to indicate that he has gotten that which he went out for (achieving the goal and not compromising with it). Indeed he will be glad to have caught bigger fishes.
Your set goals you want to achieve (the fishes you want to catch) must not be played with. Playing with your dreams practically means you're playing with your life. The worst case scenario is not having a dream!

The approach and or the methods you are using to achieve your goals is very important! You can dream as wide as the ocean but if you cannot ride a canoe, you cannot sail to fruitful zone of the ocean (your dream).

You either have to learn how to drive a canoe or you employ an expert in canoeing in order to achieve the target you're aiming to reach.
It doesn't matter the size of your dream; what matters is the size of your methods and skills in achieving such dream.
It doesn't cost you a penny for dreaming, but it will cost you millions (not just financial) to achieve that dream.

And so if the methods you're applying do not give you the expected results, you have to change your methods and in changing your methods, you're LAUNCHING DEEP.

You cannot achieve your dreams in a silver plater, if it becomes easier in achieving such dreams, then it is probably a dream of yesteryear which is yielding results because the dreamer had started working on it.
That is not to scare you anyway. When we have the right skills, the right motivation, the right methods coupled with passion, commitment, a determined heart and mind with perseverance as a friend, you're good to go.

God is always with you! He wants you to succeed; play your part and you're winning.
Embark on your dream journey; do not forget to launch deep if need be!

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

Being the Victor

Facilitating a training session on  "How to benefit from Digital media as students and the need to promote PEACE as young people" My life is victory personified. My dad believes in winning against all odds. My mum always has her hopes up high and ready to accommodate the aroma of victory from the heavens. My sisters know that tomorrow is never promised until you win today. It means that each of us has our very own battles to win daily. We consolidate our little victories. Thus, the family defines what it means to live while knowing that grace is sufficient for us.  Till we succeed, we shall continue to persist through perseverance with our mustard faith.  We are not superhumans; we are the family and together we achieve a lot. In our peculiarities, we strive to communion in this journey while supporting each other. Reaffirming that in our weakest moments, we have ourselves. Yes, we are the family. Life, as it unfolds, has many facets to it. I am planning to tell my D...

In 2020...

We defied the odds. We make history in the present. 'Normal' is a thing of the past. Together means miles apart. Not all theories are not potent. The context is valuable content. Our survival remains constant. The reality means your breath intake is consistent. The wall is the law. A winning trump card is forbidden. And home shielded us from the omen. We understood that all things are possible. Although apart, we were more unified. Unquenchable flames were ignited in the youths. Productivity in our beds became the best option. We lived even when death looked us right in the eyes. The old generation came to appreciate the "demonic" technology. We realised profiteering was not the way of only the rich. The selfish attitudes of the yesterday are the survival tactics of today. The youth exuberance came with a new vibe. We held rallies and turned tables. We got beaten, burned, broken and barred. Then we were left with our dreams to wear on our sleeves. To all the fallen so...
