“You can lead a horse to the stream, but you can’t force it to drink.”
You dun hear dat word before abi?
It’s about WILL.
Your will is your greatest asset.
It’s why I don’t think an adult should blame someone for a decision or action they take.
Yes, influence is powerful, but…
WITHOUT your consent, it’ll be powerless.
Even if person dey lead you astray, your mind go fess dey fess before you go follow dem go astray.
If your mind is strong, and you can think clearly before taking action…
You won’t be easily misled.
The fact that you’re being led astray is a sign that you have no destination for your life, so – like a dead leaf…
You choose to go wherever the wind (society, media, peers, parents, etc.) takes you to.
Any thing you’ve done, or will do – was/will first a decision in your mind, before execution.
The fact say your gees dey blow weed trees no mean say you go join them destroy your lungs.
Even if dem no dey think for themselves, or think about the future cost of their current habits.
You wey con dey think we’ll, you go con abandon your reason and be like dem – cos you wan feel among, ehn?
And I think say you sharp o.
There are intelligent smokers, like… smart people who cultivated the habits of smoking and are addicted.
So, I won’t say cut ties with your smokers gees. Nah.
But, if na those type wey no get ambitions for life, and no dey add value to your life…
Oshare/omote, dey your lane o.
Cos you gats build your life.
And if you no dey with like minded wey go push you to level up,
you fit just use your hands cast your life in the name of cruise or friendship.
Your growth and purpose in life is more important than anyone or anything in the world.
Use your brain o, my gee.
Stay Sharp!
