There will always be one thing or the other to stand in your way when you are chasing a dream or passion, and you'll always have a thousand and one reasons to give up, but you need only one reason to continue!

Today's podcast is titled *Obstacles* and I have a brother (Onyeka Solomon) share his own experiences on how he made it through his fair share of obstacles so far!

In a fast paced world where speed seems to be the most important factor in the race , a world where not moving is defined as regression, Standing still is one of the most difficult things to do.

I was always scared to let them know, you're afraid of how they'll look at you when they find out what you've been through, you would rather not share since there's nothing anyone can do about it; so keeping it all inside, sealing the lips and brooding it all over feels like the only escape, yet the exit seems to be the doom.

There's always a storms before the calm, and rain before the rainbow shows. Peace is viable in the midst of Chaos.

To every thing there is a time and season. Being able to make the best of decisions even in our lowest of times goes a long way in shaping our lives. Every season comes only to pass.

It's a brand new month and it's the perfect time to be the best version of yourself. It's time to break the norms that says you have to be only one thing, do only one thing or have.

We have somehow evolved from comparing our successes and achievements, we've now regressed to comparing our struggles to know who is having the hardest times with bragging rights and a full pity part as the reward to the winner.

Today's podcast is titled *Struggles*

So which is more important to you? The sense of accomplishment and fulfillment or the validation from other people just because you're number one? Deciding which is important to you will help guide your path to becoming a better version of yourself.

Today's podcast is titled *Second Place* Pt 2

We've grown in an environment where being second place is disregarded and unnoticed, hence we all race to be number one, well indeed it is a good thing when it's a competition, but in our lives it's a much different story.

Today's podcast is titled *Second Place* Pt 1

Nothing that has happened to you was a waste, not one of the ordeals you've been through was meaningless! They have all in one way or the other made you who you are today.
