“One of the very striking life lessons from Game of Thrones.

When Arya was blind; hopeless and helpless. The Waif lured her into multiple stick fights and the Waif would promptly beat Arya in every sparring match.

But through those stick fight, Arya learned to cope with her blindness and how to fight “in the dark.”

After Arya had regained her sight and Jaqen had granted the Waif’s wish to kill Arya. Arya confronted the Waif in a hideout and put out the only light in the room. Arya best the Waif due to her proficiency in fighting without sight (which, ironically, was trained by the Waif). Arya killed her adversary.

“When we step in the name of love, we cannot rhyme if we don't have the same RHYTHM, and we cannot have the same rhythm if we are not listening to the same BEAT.

It takes someone who understands the rhythm and melody of your "heartbeat" to dance to it.”

“And yes, many of us became fathers to fully understand what it means to be a father.

Albert Einstein once said: "Every man is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, it will spend the rest of its life believing that its stupid."

To the men who never let other people’s metrics of success become the yardstick with which they measure theirs. It is no coincidence that we are diagrammatically represented by a circle with an arrow on the edge that points out.

To all of us who may not always be "there" so that we can always "be there",

To every hunter, every fighter, every missionary,
To every planter and tiller of a garden of eden,
To every warrior, conqueror of territories, every man always going out so he can bring something home.

To every provider and protector of his family.
Every defender of his domain and representative of God in the lives of his dependants.

To every man that choose character over caliber,
Every Major General, Lord of the Rings,
Lion of the Tribe of his house.

To every correcter with a shout,
Every tough and tender 9-ribbed carrier of his cross.

For every skill, strength, qualification and effort that we put into building meaningful relationships with our women, bonds with our children, and shield through tough times.

For every ‘crave’ for success without substituting values.

For the unconditional love, unflinching sacrifice, and diehard determination to go places our parents never imagined for themselves.

To those who happily lead, as though money, fame and power didn’t exist.

To those who stand tall and sit straight,
Who understand that it doesn't take a 6-figure to be a Father figure.

Happy Father's Day to every man who understands the responsibility and deserves the title.

*Happy Father's Day to You and Me.*”

“It is not everyone who dies that actually lived. And of those who live, only a few are alive.

Those who live get to make a living from doing what they love or don't love to do.

But those who are alive, they give to make a life from being who they were meant to be.

So live, know, do and get - if you only want to make a living.

But be alive, be wise, become and give - if you really want to make a life.”
― Olaotan Fawehinmi

“They say "Life is short" but that is NOT true.
Life is endless and so is Time.
Both are in God's hands, immeasurable, and wait for no man.

It is actually “Living and Timing”, both measured by a Clock and a Calendar, that are short and will pass away. A man may live for 200 years, but that is still "short" compared to the endless Life and Time.

Like the path of a snake on the rock, so is Living without having Life and Timing without understanding Times & Seasons.

In Living and Timing, always remember that we will not always be here, so let’s make the BEST USE of WHAT we have WHEN we still have it.”

“Every friendship is a relationship, but not every relationship has friendship in it.”
