Being at Live Your Dreams Africa was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while now. Every single story threw me into a trance, I was literally living my dreams there and then, (in my head tho). The event was huge and amazing, every adrenaline in my veins where pumped up, it was truly inspiring.
The event was convened by Bankole Williams and there were lots of amazing speaker’s from various works of life : Uche Nnaji, TY Bello, M.I, Basket Mouth, Adenike Ogunlesi, Bankole Williams, Ehime Eigbe, OC Ukeje and Fela Durotoye who inspired us with stories, struggles, pains and determination.
Every speaker did a wonderful job, but sincerely basket mouth’s story sent shivers down my spine. It takes a lot to smile in the face of bad days and I’m not talking about #badhairday kind of bad day, his where major!
Fela Durotoye ended the event with a sensational prayer for everyone present and Nigeria as a whole.
Now the paramount question is, do you have a dream? YES? Then good, never let go of it, not a day should pass by without you advancing the cause of your dreams. So many of us must have gotten to a point in our lives where our dreams actually choke us…..what does that tell you? It’s time to start living it.
Moving on, I would love to share the few pointers i learnt from the LYDA event:
– You do not need everything to be in place before you start something.
– Be persistent, fight for your dreams.
– Put all you have into achieving your dreams.
– FOCUS: Because every time you focus, you create blindness to the irrelevant. (Dives)
– Every gift (talent) is a blessing when its of value to someone else.
– It takes GUTS.
– If mere challenges can stop you, then you are certainly not ready to live your dreams.
– Don’t be frustrated by your frustrations, be inspired by them.
– Procrastination as we all know, kills.
– If you cannot die for your dreams, your dreams cannot live for you.
I’ll love to end with this amazing scripture – Habakkuk 2:2-3….this is particularly for those who think it’s never going to come through, it will……just keep fighting!
These are all good points especially the first one.

You know! Me too, I can procrastinate for Africa but its reducing now though
LYDA 3…hmmmm, words can't even begin to describe the event for me. Just like your sister, Basket Mouth's story stood out for me. As in ehnnnnnn, the guy saw "nwi". But look at him now balling. I was greatly inspired to keep at my dreams.
Great thoughts and thanks for sharing!
Hello Cassie's Sister,
I enjoyed the depth of this post.
For all sorts of reasons, the lyrics to Beyonce's "I was here" has really added fuel to my drive to achieve and live my dreams.
Thank you for sharing this.
Btw, you've got really great skin 🙂
Timing is everything – seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, month and so on. To become great at the dance of life you must have rhythm (natural timing). It's all to the glorification of Almighty God.
I do love that scripture . It's so amazing . 💯💯♥️💯💯
Starting with whatever you have, wherever you are in life is so important. Taking steps everyday to get you closer. no matter how small is also very impotant. Thank you for sharing.
Habakkuk 2: 2-3: One of my favorite scriptures
