Keep these thoughts on hero’s from Superman!
I recently watched the Superman documentary and these thoughts came to mind worth keeping. When Christopher Reeve first starred as Superman, he was asked, ‘What is a hero?’ At the time, he believed a hero was someone who acts courageously without thinking twice about the consequences. But after a horse-riding accident left him paralyzed, his…

Keep the many uses of dreams!
I am learning these days that the seeds of our dreams are planted deep within us. They are like trees planted near deep waters. They stay ever green, ever ready to germinate even in silence. They are nourished by the whispers of our hearts, sustained by the echoes of soul. I am learning now to…

Keep persistence!
Persistence is that thing you do, when doing nothing will do. It’s how you keep going even when not going will not do. It’s how you also never give up even when giving up will do. Persistence is a name you carry, the fortunate collateral of a woman who once carried it on her head…

The way things emerge in the beginning, ideas come into being, as if they have always been there, how they leap from your soul too and become their own is the reason why I would always begin again. Always…

Keep what is deep for you!
Some of us love deep. Some of us hate deep too. Some keep their circles deep, some their words too. I’m thinking too deep, hence the head but this life will force you to realign what matters the most and sometimes it will require deep thinking that scatters your brain. Where you are going, so…

Keep what you fear!
Fear is a child after one’s heart. It will pile stones, pile bones, and leave you in ruins, if you don’t undo what you fear. I saw this book when my team and I visited J Randel Museum in Lagos last month. I took a mental note and promised I would get a copy as…

Keep looking at fear!
Since it’s good to be afraid, but not to paralyzed by your fear, I say fear even while you dream, fear when you begin any journey, fear even if the journey takes you through sloppy paths or shabby hills, fear when things seem under control, fear when things seem out of control, still fear through…

Failure, don’t talk to me about failure or what I am capable of. When I wanted jewels for health, I wanted jewels for health. I trained girls, one school at a time, and took jewels to them to end the HIV epidemic and we failed without warning, without wining and without any wind blowing our…

Keep these lessons of falling leaves!
Even if leaves descend, even if they descend brittle and frail to the ground below, even if they are swept away by wind or birds, leaving trees and branches empty and alone, at least they fell, they moved down before going up and away, and we are here, forgetting the lessons begin first on the…
