Happy Birthday!

It’s my day. I’m a year older today. 9th November every year is an opportunity for me to reflect and expect. I reflect on the issues of the ‘outgoing year’ and expect triumphs in the ‘incoming year’.

It sure feels good to celebrate three decades of living on this side of the universe.

Growing up has being with a lot of struggles and hurdles. The journey this way has being tough and rough. I have cried and laughed, I have failed and passed. I have taken risks - calculated, miscalculated and uncalculated; all for the days, months and years ahead of me - the future.

I really won't claim i know what the future holds but I am resolved to hold on to He who holds the future. I will reorganize my priorities to better align with my vision and conviction. I will work smart to reach my El Dorado.

I am a man on a mission. I am not there yet but I am convinced I will get there.

On this special day, I present myself the gift of hope. Hope when things might not feel as I feel.

It’s my day and I am glad to be alive. I am grateful to God for helping me this far. Kayode Raphael Adegboye, keep moving on even if it does not feel okay. Happy Birthday boy!
