Wisdom From A Dying Man…

At 40, I got a 10 million naira contract. My name was in the news. The next day, all my friend and family were at my house, everyone had a serious problem. Within one week, I spent all the money on them with the promise that they will pay back. I could not complete the contract because they refused to return the money as promised. So I was sent to jail for 6 years. I stayed in jail and I came out. When I came out, they were nowhere.

There was one mistake I made through all this time. Now it is clear to me. Let me tell you about it. I refused to listen to myself. I Ignored my own self and listen to others. Now that I am here the only person that is with me is myself.  You see, it is very good to listen to others. It is very wise to seek advice from other. But is very dangerous to ignore your own self. It is very very dangerous to refuse to pay attention to your heart.

When you get home this night. Sit down, take a glass of water. Close your eyes if you want or open it if you want, then talk to yourself. Reason with yourself.

You can walk down the road alone and as you walk begin to talk to yourself

The only person that can overrule yourself is God, after God, listen to yourself next.

I know it may not make sense to you know but always remember I told you LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
