"when all is said and done or left undone, you have only yourself. So, what can possibly be more pathetic than completing your life cycle, a complete stranger to yourself?"

I like that!

Happy birthday B❤️

Cheers🥂

I accepted compliments and felt worthy of them. (My best line). Many times we trivialize our efforts. Efforts that made others take big productive steps towards a goal and achieve it. Living in fulfillment is not strictly measured by how popular or financially stable we are but the depth of the impacts we’ve made in our society.

Happy belated birthday Odinakachi.

A very practical and relatable essay , I like how you include cheat code/ core beliefs those are guardrails that provide safety and boundaries. As we grow and learn new things, the cheat code/ guardrails keep us in check.

Thanks for sharing.

Happy belated birthday Odinakachi 🥳! I’m glad to hear you had a good day filled with joy and happiness.

I always laugh internally when people say they know everything about someone because we all barely know ourselves.

Just like how we can’t really ever know everything about someone else we won’t know everything about ourselves. But we must try to understand ourselves as much as possible as you’ve said.

Great essay!
