Use What You Have To Get What You Want

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we today? I'm sure we're getting better by the second. Just when I was going to write about distractions, I thought of some things and I decided to write about this instead. I've not seen anyone without a vision just that sometimes, we just don't know how someone would have the kind of vision they have.

We all have a picture in our head we'd like to look like in the years to come which we all work towards consciously or unconsciously. No matter the vision, how do you go about achieving it? Where are you supposed to start from? What do you need to start with? Many questions that flood our minds that seem to have no answers but here's the good news, the answer is obvious. How do I mean that the answer is obvious, you need to start from where you are, start with what you have and you'll see how it turns out.

When the sentence "use what you have to get what you want" was being said almost everywhere, I very much doubted if it referred to using your unseen resources to get the desired result. We need to use what we have to get what we want and what do we have? Talent, skill, knowledge, power, money? The list is endless but what do we want? Money? Fame? Happiness? Inspire others? Live a better life?
The amazing part is that you can have it all, the good life, money, fame and whatever thing you want because if you're so good at what you do, you'll get a reward from it. Your works will speak for you and people will also speak about your works even in your absence and without your consent but you have to start from here and you have to start now and I mean right now, no procrastination, no excuses, no nothing because at the end, the only person that can stop you is YOU. Truth is, it might not look like it's working out but you just have to remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. You just have to be consistent, don't just do it for a month and stop, keep pushing and watch how life will push good things back to you.

I hope at this point we would eliminate every doubt in our minds and start NOW with WHAT WE HAVE to get WHAT WE WANT through consistency, hardwork, positivity, moving with the right people and above all GOD because whom God has blessed, no man can curse. When you involve God in the affairs of your life, you'll get there faster than mortal strength can take you hence the God-factor should be taken very seriously. On this note, I rest my case. Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting no matter how crazy it sounds because conformity doesn't apply to geniuses.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr

Making Your Death Profitable

I read a thread on twitter recently about women whose husbands die and the in-laws take over everything their husband owned and it got me thinking about a lot of things. That is actually the reality in a lot of homes in Nigeria. Husband dies, his family takes over stuff without considering how his wife will cater for the kids. Sometimes, they might even kill the man to get his properties and take over everything including his wife. It’s really sad that people can be so wicked and inconsiderate which is why we need to take some steps to prevent our loved ones from suffering after our demise. It’s very important for a woman to work and have her own investments in different places no matter how rich your husband is. I’ve seen women who become maids after their very rich husband dies and there’s nothing left for them. While you can’t stop any in-law from claiming whatever, you can build yourself up financially so that you won’t be affected financially when death happens to your husb
