Every Flight Begins on the Ground

-

 


Before an airplane dives into the sky, it must first run on the ground for a while. That brief moment on the runway isn’t a delay it’s a preparation. The aircraft needs that time to gather speed, build momentum, and find balance before taking off. Without it, there would be no flight at all.

In life, the same principle applies. Many of us want success, love, or stability to happen instantly. We often forget that growth takes time, and real progress rarely happens overnight. Some people don’t have the patience to stay through the “runway phase” those early moments of struggle, uncertainty, or slow progress.

But here’s the truth: those moments matter. They shape us, strengthen us, and prepare us for the altitude we dream of reaching.

When you’re in a relationship, patience and support are everything. If your partner is still building, still trying, or still finding their way keep helping them until they reach their sky. Believe in their journey even when it’s not glamorous yet.

Love isn’t just about enjoying someone’s success; it’s about standing beside them during the groundwork. Anyone can celebrate when things are going well, but real love shows up when things are still in motion, not yet perfect.

Remember, the higher a plane intends to fly, the longer its runway needs to be. So don’t rush the process whether it’s your dream or your partner’s. Stay grounded, stay patient, and trust that when the time comes, both of you will soar higher than you ever imagined.

💭 Patience today builds the strength for tomorrow’s flight.

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

-

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

Who’s Worth the Pain

  The truth is everybody is going to hurt you at some point. No matter how much love, loyalty, or effort you give, people are human, and humans make mistakes. They’ll disappoint you, misunderstand you, and sometimes even break your heart. Your best friend might forget to show up when you need them most. A partner you trusted might say something that cuts deep. A family member might not understand your dreams, and their words might sting more than they realize. But that’s not the point of life or love. The real question is: who is worth suffering for? Because some people come into your life and leave behind scars, while others leave behind lessons. Some take from you and walk away, leaving you emptier than before. But a few, a precious few will stay. Even after the arguments, the distance, and the silence… they’ll come back. They’ll own their flaws. They’ll apologize, not because they have to, but because they care enough to try again. They’ll remind you that love isn’t perfe...

Welcome to Nigeria, Where Opinions Come with Expiry Dates

As I was reading the comments about Tuface Idibia and Natasha, I honestly had to pause and ask myself: What exactly is wrong with people on this social media space? The hypocrisy is so loud it should have its own BVN. 😂 All of a sudden, Annie Idibia don turns angel Gabriel’s PA. The same Nigerians that dragged her like faulty Keke brake are now pretending she’s the standard for sainthood. Abeg, Nigerians will confuse even Google Maps. Nigeria is a comedy club disguised as a nation. One minute they are moral judges, the next minute they are motivational speakers, then by evening they are FBI agents with fake evidence. Nobody switches character faster than a Nigerian on social media. 😂 But let me talk to the men in the back: Please, protect your peace like your life depends on it because it actually does. If you break down, these same people will type “Omo, eyaaa. Stay strong bro 🙏🏽” while drinking cold malt and dragging someone else. 😂 Don’t let anyone stress you especially...
