@The Parent You Become Starts With The Youth You Are

@The Parent You Become Starts With The Youth You Are

No one becomes a parent by magic. The seeds of parenting are sown long before marriage or childbirth. They are planted in the heart, choices, habits, and values a person nurtures in youth. The parent you become does not suddenly emerge on the wedding day or in the delivery room — it begins with the youth you are becoming right now.


Life does not create gaps for shortcuts. The discipline you dodge as a youth often returns as the discipline you struggle to instill in your own children. The respect you disregard today may become the very respect you demand tomorrow but cannot command. The character you neglect in your personal life may echo loudly in the upbringing of the next generation.


Parenthood is more than providing food, shelter, or school fees. It is about values transferred, examples lived out, and principles modeled consistently. The patience you refuse to build now may turn into the temper you regret later. The kindness you fail to cultivate may become the harshness you unconsciously pass on. The self-control you never learned may be the same restraint your children miss from you.


Every youth is a parent in training, even without realizing it. The habits you form, the choices you make, the relationships you build, and the values you hold dear are rehearsals for the kind of home you will one day nurture. The future father is hidden in the boy who learns responsibility today. The future mother is taking shape in the girl who values self-respect and discipline now.


Society feels the ripple effects of the youth who fail to prepare for the parenting role. Homes crumble, children grow untended, and cycles of brokenness continue when young people ignore the responsibility of becoming whole before raising others. Communities thrive when youths embrace the silent preparation phase — building character, integrity, emotional strength, and spiritual depth.


Africa’s hope for strong families rests on the shoulders of youths who understand this silent truth. The family you long to build tomorrow is silently growing in the youth you choose to be today. This is a call to live with intentionality — to see beyond now, beyond trends, and beyond fleeting desires.


The parent you become will be a reflection of the youth you were — shaped by the choices you made when no child called you “Dad” or “Mum.” Prepare now. Grow now. Become now. The future of your home depends on it.


Yours in fulfilment,

@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery

Image
@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery Smiling is one of the simplest and most powerful actions we can take, yet it holds a surprising amount of magic and mystery. A genuine smile is more than just a facial expression—it’s a universal language that transcends culture, age, and even species. It’s a subtle gesture with profound effects on our emotions, relationships, and well-being. 📌The Science Behind a Smile A smile does more than communicate friendliness; it triggers a biological response. When you smile, your brain releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin—the chemicals responsible for happiness and relaxation. Research shows that even a forced smile can lift your mood, as the act of smiling itself sends signals to your brain that you’re happy, creating a positive feedback loop. This natural reaction means that smiling doesn’t just reflect how we feel; it can actually create positive feelings. This concept, often called the “facial feedback hypothesis,” suggests that our expressions ca...

@Thank You for Leaving Me

@Thank You for Leaving Me Sometimes, the greatest blessings come disguised as heartbreak. It’s in the moments of loss and separation that we find clarity, growth, and transformation. To my ex, to my former friend, to my former colleague, to my former roommate, to my former coursemate, to my estranged relative, to my former pastor, to my former business partner, to my former confidant, the one who once held a space in my life, I want to say thank you—for leaving me. Sometimes, the most profound growth stems from the deepest wounds. At first, your departure felt like a storm—sudden, destructive, and chaotic. But now, with clarity that only time can provide, I see it for what it truly was: a necessary turning point. So, this is my heartfelt thank-you for leaving me. When you left, you unknowingly forced me to confront the parts of myself I had long ignored. I had relied on you—your presence, validation, and company—as a crutch. When that crutch disappeared, I had no choice but to stand on...
