Happy EARTHSTRONG!!! to Me @ 25

Here's a letter to a 25 year old me:

It's my birthday. It's not been a roller coaster ride, so recently inspired by loads of stuff from the past years. There’s a saying and I quote: “The complexity of human nature has remained a mystery even to the finest of hearts” “character is about retaining a strong identity”

 Here's a letter to a 25 year old me:

Dear Cute, talented, brilliant, smart, loving, caring and Amazing Crizz.

1. Be friendly and never put people off as much as you can manage, DO NOT shut the door out on past relationships with people that have hurt you. The door might be useful in the future.

2. STOP pleasing everybody. Love yourself from your own heart, live your life and have fun. (And this includes work)

3. Know that some things have been predestined, my eye color, my skin color, nature of my parents cannot be changed. Accept reality.

4. chukwuma chris you are handsome just the way you are, day dreaming about appearing on the oprah winfrey’s show needs to stop. After all, it's not as easy as it appears.

5. Classroom education does not guarantee success; it just enhances your chances of making it. Be street smart!

6. LET GO! Even the Bible says better is the end of a matter than its beginning.

7. The bottle of Coke/Pepsi sweating in the fridge is NOT calling my name, it's inanimate, and it cannot talk. Don't indulge, keep exercising too. 

8. PLAN. 

9. LIVE. That not perfect childhood of mine is gone, the future beckons, it is here, and it is me. 

10. Remember that there's a future and bills have to be paid, Indulge into the habit of saving. 

11. SAVE.

12. Appreciate everyone's hustle! Make no judgments about people until such a time it becomes glaring to all that I have attained the 'Perfect' status. 

13. Do not listen to hearsay. The Amebo’s would always talk and they never bother to know what they are talking about. 

14. Be guarded with the fact that I have to be my own hero because the people (I thought) I cannot live without are doing amazingly living without me. 

15. Believe in yourself and work hard at it. Chukwuma Chris, become the kind of Guy that prays and goes out to get it.

16. Again, LIVE! For 2 reasons:

·         I was born,

·         I have not died yet. 

17. LEARN from mathematics, there is a lot more to it than two times two. It may not teach how to add love or subtract hate, but it gives every reason to hope that every problem has a solution. 

18. PRAY: There is a power greater than you. Even in hard times, my broken heart should not undermine my capacity to be thankful knowing that it could have been worst.

19. Be sure of 2 things, making it big and helping the not so privileged (so help me God!)

20. SMILE not because it is the best makeup to wear, but because it is the most natural way to a younger Amazing me!

21. Never make someone a priority when to them you are just an option.

22. It is good to work hard, but take out time for yourself, family and friends.

23. Give love another chance: Get a girlfriend.

24. Give more and expect less. Always!

25. And lastly, be proud of yourself, remember that if no one claps for you, do the clapping yourself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
