SCALE YOUR BAR

Hello Friend,

It has been a while since I wrote on here. Life happens and you get busy doing stuff. Thank God I am here today and I can write to encourage someone.

I turned sixty a couple of months ago and it dawned on me that age is only a number. Yes, it is. Age is nothing. What really matters is what you carry on the inside of you, your purpose, dreams, aspirations and desires. If these are strong enough to propel you, then it does not matter how young or how old you are.

Majority of people today put a label on other people such as “you are too old” or “you are too young”. You are as old and as young as you think. Do not let other people’s baseless philosophy keep you grounded. I personally, am determined to be all that I ever dreamed to be. Why? Because there is only one person I will be giving an account of my life to - my maker. The one who wrote the manual of my life even before I was conceived.

So my friend, I came to remind you that you are YOUnique and special and that you have something to offer the world, no matter how insignificant you think it is, the world needs you to manifest and shine brightly.

My question to you is, what is holding you down? What is stopping you from being the very best version of yourself? Do you know? I know. It is because you are afraid of what people will say or you are afraid of failure. What if I tell you that you cannot fail? What if I tell you that failure is nothing but success in disguise? That is exactly what failure is. I have failed many times in many areas of my life but I refuse to allow the temporary setback to stop me from aiming higher and learning from my experiences. That is how I was able to scale every bar that ever confronted me. In my book, Scaling the Bar, I share about my unique journey to becoming a lawyer in Canada, how I went to law school in the United Kingdom and how against all odds, I fulfilled my childhood dream to become a lawyer. As I write this, I am in my office as a business owner in law.

So, dear reader, my question is what is stopping you? If you look inward, you will realize that you are the only person who is stopping you. The moment you decide to move and be all you dreamed of, then my friend, you will scale your bar.

Talk soon,
