Inspirationals: Voke Ogedegbe, Bare Your Truth

Why do successful people lie?
Why do successful people always say "I don't sleep more than 4 hours daily"?
Who do successful people say "I was so poor one time I went hungry for weeks"

I'm lost.  Why do we have to lie about our success stories however they maybe?
What's appealing about the tales of loss,  pain,  suffering,  penury,  hurt and tears?
Why do we crave sympathy from the world when we become successful?

Even people who became successful as a result of sheer luck want to tell tales of how hard they prayed and stayed awake before their betnaija slip ticket finally paid off.

Let's bare our truths,  let's come clean on how we made it,  not every story should be inspiring to every soul,  not every story should be laced with pains and hurts.

When we get lucky,  let's admit it.
When smart work pays, let's give it credit without going all cliché "hardwork pays"

#BareYourTruth

VORKAY!!

God has been faithful despite my unfaithfulness. Yea, I was written off...I have been trodden upon and yes, I've been told to my face that I cannot attain the heights I'm striving so hard to attain because I don't have what it takes...and sometimes I'd believed that. Obvious challenges has stared at my face that threatened my resolutions and determinations but it is amazing that amidst it, God has always proved His Supremacy and rulership over my life. 2016 has taught me a lot. So many lessons that miraculously turned to blessings. I've met people who have impacted and invested in my life more than I could have ever done. And seriously, Allyreads has been a tangible blessing to me. Belonging to this family, is a treasure that I hold so dear...love them all.. Who ...

2016 Review: Ayomide Oguntunde, 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far..

LESSON AND BLESSING THIS YEAR SO FAR....... The year 2016 has been a year full of great blessings and greater lessons. Here, i will start with the lessons, and the first is not to trust in man But God only. Uhmmmm, there are times in our dear life that we put our hope in man not that we don't believe in what God can do But really cant say what happen not until it dawn on us that our only hope should be in God because He's the master planner of everything.      Secondly, i learnt that friendship have categories and you don't get Love in return from all friends (Smile). Its not that they hate you But have some other people on top of there friendship list, they might not be better than you do, But i got to know that no matter how you try, you cannot just force Love. Also, i got to understand the pain inner tears causes and the solution of crying the pains out to have an inner joy though not easy But one will just continue to hurt the mind. I will also like to talk ...
