will you give up?...

give up keeh, me wey wan buy lambo..................

hi habibties. i’m sorry for taking this late to release a newsletter. although this is not what i intended to write, i just had to publish something. what i intended to publish is still missing something or a lot of things because as i’m researching, i’m discovering new things and i don’t know if i should make it a part one and two because it will be long.

i digress..

today’s newsletter is about not giving up and growth. i know, i know it sounds cliche because me and you have heard this topic so many times but i just had to write. i watched a video today about a lady who participated in a beauty pageant seven times before she won miss usa despite being in the army. she’s a black woman, very beautiful and bold. a woman saw her when she was 19 years old and told her she was the beautiful woman ever. the woman convinced her to join the pageant. when she did not win the fourth time she called the woman and said “i thought you said i would win”, the woman responded “keep working”. the woman died of leukemia few months before the pageant which the lady won.

why did i say all these? growth is something that takes time. it can take weeks, months or even years. in plants,animals,contents, business or anything that requires growth takes time… even your birth took 9 months. i know there are sometimes that you’ll be like i’m not seeing any growth. your mother didn’t see you growing in her womb until she gave birth to you. she could only feel you growing but she didn’t see you growing. just keep going. like john cena said “ never give up.”

giving up should not be in your dictionary. give up keeh, me wey wan buy lambo.. abi you no wan buy lambo? things will be frustrating sometimes, you’ll cry, feel self doubt, feel like giving up but remember that Allah is with you every step of the way. work hard, don’t give up and remember to always trust Allah Azza’wa’jal. He never fails because He is Allah.

so my love, please don’t give up. never ever give up. i’m rooting for you

this was from one of my big sisters but i think you need to hear this.

till my letter shows up on your screens, don’t give up and take good care of you.

ps: i wrote this as a little reminder for myself because i was feeling self doubts. i drop islamic quotes on instagram and i have been feeling like no one is reading them. i have been thinking if i should stop but i won’t.i hope you don’t give up on you and your dreams.

pss: i saw the subscribes and likes, thank you so much habibties…

psss: don’t mind my mistakes, i wrote it around 3pm this afternoon and published it around after 4.
