What lesson do you see?

My lecturer stirred up trouble in class yesterday evening.

It was slowly becoming a boring lecture.

2hours of listening to academic talk is hell for some of us.

Until...

"As a young lecturer, my salary was suddenly increased from #3000 to #11000 and then to #40,000."

This was in the 1900's and my bachelor of a lecturer was even paid some arrears that made the money accumulate to about #200,000.

He had never seen that much money before.

Armed with the boldness that comes from a fat bank account, he approached the lady he was interested in.

They already had a fling going on, so he just had to be clear on his intentions for her.

The pitch was simple;

"This is money. Are you interested?"

Years after, and they are still married.

Now, before you come up with toxic reactions.

Note that this is not my story, and you will be wiser if you choose to see the lessons that relate to your business therein instead

There are tons of them, but let's do with;

✓ A good offer can be the difference between 2 and 10 sales a day.

✓ Having proof to back your claims is as important as making the claims.

✓ Sometimes, you just have to cut straight to the chase and make your intentions known.

Hello friend,

I take it you have a habit that has served as an anchor from childhood.

I want to ask what it is, but before then? Please read this story.

One of the tipping points in terms of emotional rush for me was when as a child, my own father looked me in the eyes, straight faced and called me a bastard!

It wasn’t a joke. He meant it.

I have now gotten over it but trust me it took every ounce of strength I could ever find.

What made it worse was just before then, I was actually being exposed to some rumors that gave strength to this claim, so his statement was more like a confirmation.

But did you catch me saying ‘my own father?’

Yes. He is my father and he never doubted that. He only said that because I had made him angry concerning something…

But that was what made the trauma harder to get through with. Why would you want to hurt an ignorant child’s feelings with such heavy words?

That was more of a denial. We only deny what is not valuable to us, right? Well, that was what I felt. Worthless.

I went to my room and cried my eyes out. I don’t have to describe the pain. Life comes with a lot of woes so I believe you’ve had your own painful experiences too.

Now, don’t think of your childhood pains if you are not over them yet. However, I want you to know that this hole of painful experiences? It’s actually over-crowded and while we may have gone through different shades? We’ve all had our own fair share of it!

And in case it’s crossing your mind? Yes, I contemplated suicide.

But I didn’t because I wanted to write to Duuni.

She was my anchor. The lady I couldn’t bring myself to ask out because of fear but I wrote to every day. Okay, I didn’t write every day but I did write a lot.

Are you enjoying this writeup? It was Dunni who made me discover it, and writing to her made me get better at it.

But there were days I couldn’t write, not because there was nothing to write about but I didn’t just get the connection. It seemed as if my journal didn’t want me to write in it; I still have those days.

Until…

I found a journal I could own.

A journal that speaks my language; I mean it owns me as much as I own it.

Now, you are probably not a writer. So how does this matter to you?

I’d show you in a moment. But before then, I’d like you to ask yourself this question;

“What fuels my inspiration?”

Yeah, I mean what inspires your inspiration.

If you can relate with my story, then you are a Creative.

There is magic in your heart and you need to let it out.

But to be effective at that, you need to figure out where the magic stems off.

And I’d like to help you by showing you what worked for me.

See this?

That’s my smile in all its radiating glory and the word “bliss” speaks to me more than any other word in any earthly language.

Now, I guard my smile jealously but I do have days when smiling seems impossible.

On those days, my journal becomes the magician.

It fuels my passion and ignites a chord that sings through my fingers.

The sweet part is, my writings still serve as the reason some people keeps their smile.

In other words, my journal is making the world happy.

What word speaks to you?

What image defines you?

Is there a reality that transcends you into eternal peace?

A memory you’d like to immortalize so it can serve as the source of the magic your heart has been made to create?

I’d like to help you with that. Help you with what has helped me.

…introducing the Light Journal!

The implication is that; a supernatural bond comes up between you and your journal such that,

It is able to fuel all the magic you seek to create. It is able to be inspire your inspiration.

It is fully customizable to suit your needs and taste.

Now, this journal is so precious, one of it would justifiably go for #5,000

A poet has been from birth!

Words and talks his fortress has been?

And here he is showing you!

That for your content to resonate with your audience?

You must lay a hold of things in two!

—That is two things. Don't mind us please—

Deliver the value they truly need to hear, is first?

Deliver it in the voice you find natural, is second!

Because even though this is not all about you?

Your audience, they want to hear what is true!

And how they hear it matters just as much as what they hear!

So give your voice and then put your profession in it?

Don't do your profession and then look for your voice in it.

This statement has to be understood in context!

In case all we've said you've heard in nonsense?

What we mean is spill you over your content! Your audience will resonate with it better that way!

Thank you Creative!
