MY INSPIRATION

Image source

Growing up I have seen alot of things happen around me especially in the communities i had once stayed in and I have watched talented individuals go astray from their upbringing just because of peer pressures and desires to feel among even though they know that their capacity and conditions of their families are different from others. I asked myself why some children behave like that and even the promising one's tend to turn wayward and assault their parents, love one's, siblings and even friends at time.

The answer became clearer to me as I grew up and I concluded that lack of inspiration is one of it, because no matter what, every parent must have taught their child morality, respect, and discipline. My parents are my first source of inspiration in life, they have taught me alot and sacrifice alot for my sake. Firstly I will like to appreciate my father for being the best dad ever, the sacrifices I have seen him make on our behalf is far more than what I can imagine.

Funny enough my dad and I have only sat down and discuss about things just few times while he was alive because he was always busy and moving from one work station to another but regardless of time, season, situations and conditions, whenever needs arises he never relent in providing and attending to that need of yours even if he doesn't have. He was a disciplined and strict person that does not tolerate unseriousness but he also has a big heart when it comes to helping out those in needs as long as he has the capacity and he is in the position to help.

I have watched him navigate through difficult times with wisdom and I have seen how some decisions made are necessary even if it might seem uncomfortable for the time being. Secondly my heart goes to my lovely mum, my treasure and my world, am sure you noticed the change in mood and atmosphere right, well as it stands without her endless love, constant prayers and advice with encouragement, I don't know how things would have been.

Am proud of the family I came from and the way I was brought up through discipline, respect, love and faith. Being a single mum with children to take care of, I have never heard her for once complain about the difficulties being overwhelming because of the demise of my father but one thing I have noticed is her dedication and devotion to prayer both in good times and bad times. I know she faces some challenge's and at time's she discuss them with me whenever am at home or call me when I have gone back to my working place.

To tell you the truth, words would not be able to describe how proud and inspiring my parents influence and teaching have shaped me into who I am today. My father's discipline, strictness, problem solving skill and sacrifices as well as my mothers love, prayers and advice have contributed immensely in grooming me and for that I say thank you to them.

Thank you for reading and be blessed.
