VISION 10✨

The past 9 years have been a rough ride for my family and I. Where a family of 7 has had to feed from hand to mouth, how we survived through all these years remains a miracle. This is not a new story on hive though because i happened to share this about a few days ago on @hiveghana. But due to this week's tasks, I would love to throw a little light on my experience. I wasn't born in paradise, at a matter of fact, the time of my birth was one of the most difficult time for my mom especially being that she carried most of the responsibility of having to care for her 4 years old boy alongside her new born baby girl in the absence of my dad who had been away for work for quite a long time before my birth.

However, when I was 8 years old, things drastically had a positive turn for my family. Within a short period of time, we were already owners of properties both home and aboard. I attended one of the biggest secondary schools in Lagos, my elder brother on the other hand, who had plans on furthering his education in Cyprus, was awaiting his admission letter. My younger brothers were also doing pretty well too in their various grades, life was doing just fine.

All of a sudden, it took a U turn again, which took us back to square zero. It was on a faithful day at Dubai, which happened to be the very last trip we've embarked on outside Nigeria since our sudden fall. My dad's fuel stations got burnt, his workers were arrested, his products were stolen and many others that I am unaware of till date. At the verge of wanting to repair things we ended up running into debt. The only property left was our uncompleted duplex that we had to move into since the one we were living in had been sold. Few years down the line, my dad came with a plan of selling our house with a promise of establishing a business of his own with the money. Unknown to us, our uncompleted duplex was already a collateral for one of the debts and that was how we lost our house also. The court was kind enough to give my mom a little cut from the money and I guess it was because of us, the children and since then life happens….

Diving down to the present, having tasted both sides of life, and being asked if I would like to have the life I had 9 years ago? I would answer a big NO!
I wouldn't wish to redo the past, and I've never prayed for things to go back to the way they were 9 years ago. I also know for a fact that my life would have been way far different to how it is now if it weren't for the misfortune we experienced. If life of 9 years ago still existed for me, i guess i would have been done with my higher education by now, probably been settling down in one of the countries abroad, wouldn't have known about hive because of my lack of interest in anything internet world and most certainly would have ended up a spoilt brat. These are just a few guesses of how life might have turned out to be for me, unlike now that is the opposite.I wouldn't have all the time in stating out how life is currently for me but the opposite I say is much better than the difference it would have made.
This year would make it 10 years, but I plan on stopping it at “9” and making a fresh start from the supposed “10” which would be my chapter “1” and I plan on making it possible with the resources available and with God helping me. Life would be far more better than 9 years ago and this time would be forever and that's why i call it my vision 10😅 when this happens, you'll will be the first to read my first chapter.

Thanks for stopping by❤
