This is why I know that you will do great things and be great

One morning a long time ago, a young man woke up totally stunned by his surroundings. As he opened his eyes for the first time, he was filled with a sense of wonder and excitement. Everything around him was brand new, and he was eager to explore his new world.

He stood up and stretched his arms, marvelling at the strength and agility of his body. He looked down at his hands and saw his fingers move with ease and grace. He felt the warmth of the sun on his skin and the cool breeze on his face.

He began to walk, and as he did, he noticed the lush greenery surrounding him. He saw trees of every kind, some with fruit and others with leaves of different colours. He heard the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind. He felt the soft grass under his feet and smelled the fragrant flowers.

As he continued to explore his new home, he realized that he was not alone. He saw animals of all shapes and sizes, some grazing peacefully while others scampered about, playing and chasing each other. He was amazed at the diversity of life and felt grateful to be a part of it.

As the day went on, he discovered more and more wonders of the world. He found rivers and waterfalls, mountains and valleys, and all kinds of landscapes that took his breath away. He felt a sense of belonging and purpose in this beautiful world, and he knew that he had been placed here for a reason.

He felt a deep connection to the world around him and a sense of awe for the one who had created it all. He knew that he had been given a special gift, the gift of life, and he felt a responsibility to care for the world and all the creatures in it.

As the sun began to set, he sat down on a rock and watched the sky turn from blue to orange to pink. He felt a sense of peace and contentment that was pretty fresh and new to him. He knew that his life would be filled with adventure and challenge, but he also knew that he had been given the tools to face them with courage and strength.

As the day began to progress, that same very day, this man, also known as Adam began to have a parched throat and feel some hunger pangs. There were no words yet to explain what he felt, but something in him needed to be fuelled. He simply continued looking around him, and his thirst drew him to the rivers, while his hunger drew him to the fruits.

Nothing was labelled in creation, but our desire is an indication that a banquet had already been prepared.

Oh, pure of heart, listen closely,

And hear the words that speak so softly,

For within your soul lies a treasure untold,

A key to unlock your potential and behold.

If envy and greed do not cloud your mind,

And you seek only to be true and kind,

Then look within and search for the flame,

For it will lead you to a life of fame.

The desires that burn within your heart,

Are the whispers of a great work of art,

A masterpiece of potential and possibility,

Waiting for you to unlock its ability.

So listen to your heart with an open ear,

And let your pure desires steer,

For they hold the key to your truest self,

A path to greatness, to joy and wealth.

If your heart is pure and rid of greed, if your mind is plain and not loaded with envy, if you are true to yourself and not in competition with any other, check your pure desires, they have a key to your potential and possibilities.

Kind Regards,

Adeolu Akinyemi.
