This is the beginning of the new decade and no time to waste blaming other people for your own failure and errors. Are you flowing with me?
We must all be fully prepared for changes in many areas within the next 10 years. Just look around you now.
Don’t associate with dream killers, liars, betrayers, hypocrites, religious bigots, tribalists, racists and cheap blackmailers.
You need to roll with trusted people, responsible individuals, achievers, and positive thinkers.
This is the right time to fill your head with valuable 21st-century knowledge and vital information, not just religious books. If you don’t have a good library in your area, read good materials online. Google is not your childhood enemy!
Don’t waste all your time on social media. Against all odds, I am back to full-time university education in Scotland despite personal challenges. I won’t overstress this point. It is a free world.
Health is wealth, look after your health in this new year 2020 and always, don’t link all your sickness and personal challenges to witches and wizards. Don’t be brainwashed, cajoled and misled by the so-called religious leaders and frustrated elders whose secret lifestyles stink more than a dead dog!
Take a walk in a park to feel the natural air, eat fruits and vegetables, drink more clean water instead of alcoholic drinks.
Don’t use anybody’s clock to set your own time! We all have different routes to achieve our goals in life. Taiwo’s destiny is not on the same platform as Kehinde, Idowu or Alaba.
It is very important to live within your means, don’t carry heavy loads of debt in this new year 2020. Don’t expose yourself to unnecessary financial pressure from anybody which would surely affect your health.
You’re not in this world to act according to anybody’s script without critical investigation. You need to quickly develop an independent mind. Don’t be ‘used and dumped’ for selfish reasons by agents of darkness.
Beware of shameless betrayers posing as true friends. Don’t trust anybody to the extreme in this life. Think ahead!
Avoid close relationship with anybody that’s making you feel less than a normal human being. Anybody that’s constantly dragging you on the floor, disrespecting you in public and in private places. What are you waiting for in this new year?
Anybody that cannot add positive values to your life, flush them away as urgent as possible. Don’t think twice. Don’t force anybody to become your friends either online or offline.
Forgive your enemies and haters if you wish, but limit your interaction with them. Don’t enter a trap for the second time. This advice is also applicable to this writer. Aye mojuba ooo!
Don’t even look down on anybody, even if the person is eating from the garbage bins! Nobody knows tomorrow of anybody.
Don’t use somebody’s critical situation to insult him or her, if you cannot help with money, offer positive suggestions and useful advice. Let God reward your efforts.
In this new year, you must have more than one source of income. Don’t be a one-way traffic person! Never engage in any business without a clear understanding. Yes.
Your lifestyle must inspire people around you to be trusted members of society. Don’t roll with criminals and enemies of progress.
Always remember your last day on earth! Your good deeds to fellow human beings while on earth shall be your companions inside the lonely grave. Forget about the chants of ‘rest in peace’ from mourners, friends, relatives, and sympathisers. Argue with your conscience before death!
Plenty of sweet words won’t fill a basket. I rest my case for now.
