Akwaaba (Welcome). Not health but healing. not acquaintance but friendship. not rest but progressive exercise. not becoming but being. not ruminating but meditating. not beats but music. We're not yet what we shall be, but we're growing towards it. It's not the end but it is the road.

90 days to go
Those who know me well will tell you that I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My parents concurrently imbued in us a firm value of faith and hard work - for faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26). Growing up without a television set at home wasn’t fun, however the set of children’s encyclopaedia that my parents got us served as a big window to my imagination - through reading I found a world of limitless dreams, aspirations and opportunities . At a tender age I knew exactly who I wanted to become and how to get to him. I also understood that my faith will lead me, yet it’ll require hard work and huge sacrifices to follow. Fast forward to today, I find myself exactly where I am supposed to be.
The greatest sacrifices were made my by parents, who deprived themselves of time with their teenage boy and were willing to let him leave them for a journey ten thousand miles away so he could fulfill his dream. All credit belongs to God and them.
Dream big and chase it.
