  Every single day when I wake up, I give thanks to the Lord for the gift of a new day before staring at myself in the mirror and reminding myself that “ I am not where I want to be yet .” Be thankful, be graceful, but never forget that there is a light that we are in pursuit of, constantly. The battle between here and there is taking forever, and I hope I’m not simply meandering with the times. I hope I am doing all that I can, living truly and thoroughly through my potential, or I’m coasting through my existence. I hope I am becoming everything that God has designed me to be. I do not understand the struggle of each day, but it’s in my place to create a sense of purpose, belonging to an establishment, or creating one- it’s me against me. Every day, all day, the battle is within me. Adekunle Sunday-Fajana That’s just life; there’ll always be a war within myself. The feud for what’s wrong and what’s right, the resentment that comes from indecision, the anxiety that comes with v...

 I must tell you the absolute truth, the hustle never stops. This isn’t a joke, it’s a fact of nature, the grind must go on, morning, afternoon, or night, the hustle and bustle for a better life never hits a climax, probably until the day you die. In Yoruba, an adage says, “ojo iku ni ojo isimi,” which translates to “the dying day is the eventual day of rest.” Every morning when you wake up, you have to step up and do better than yesterday. Each day is the beginning of another narrative of your existence- it could be for the good or the bad, it depends on the turmoil that the day chooses to unravel. We hope for the best, however, we don’t always get what we want. We only desire what God has in store for us. aurahealth.io Regardless of the prayer, life has its own game, and we (humans) are usually the pawns out here. Stay focused, stay up, and embrace each day with the utmost confidence that you’ll emerge victorious. Since you’re alive, you’re still very much in a position to do som...
