I have been reading a lot of posts from the hive learn community and it has been fun seeing people express some of their deepest desires. I read a post from a guy who wants a 100 inches television, an another from my friend kene who wants to build a luxury casino in the center of the most expensive city in the world. All these fun accounts and dreams got me thinking about myself and what I want.
I have been thinking for hours now and I have not come up with anything that has really excited me. The first things that comes to mind is migrating which is at the top of my list of things to do, but I am not so excited about leaving my homeland despite how shitty it currently is because that will entail leaving everything I care about, and I don't know what I am without those things. I don't think I exist as an entity outside those things. It is a depressing thought but that's by the way.
The other thing on my list would be completing the property I inherited. It has been both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I wish I could just sell it off and get a smaller property. My dad's dreams were quite grand. I am just a simple man who wants less things. However, it would be nice to get that off my list of things to do.
Asides material things what I really want is the peace that comes with being financially stable. When I flashback to the events of the last 12 months it gives me goosebumps. I don't mind having little if it comes with the peace I have enjoyed for the past month. It is the reason why I am giving Hive my all. Out there in the streets of Lagos is scary. Now I appreciate the life I was loving before venturing into business.
So I can say that I have what I want--my peace of mind and the opportunity to build and I am in no rush. I do feel the pressures of the world weighing down on me sometimes but I don't think life is worth that stress, it is all vanity at the end of the day.
I know this might sound surprising to some of you who know how driven I can be when an opportunity presents itself. I do not deny my deaire to compete and push myself to the very limit, but at my core is a gentle soul who is quite indifferent about life.
I am fine with peace and anything that comes along with it, whether be it a luxurious or simple life. Peace is my priority. Life is a endless stream of wants and challenges. We need to find that sweet spot where we live in harmony with the chaos and our limitations. Cheers!
