Ten years challenge… How have you and your life changed over the last ten years? Last month was a memorable one as I could see a lot of users making their posts on what they have accomplished so far in the month of July. If I could remember well I kicked off my journey here on the platform on the 1st of July and here I am today after a whole month of complete activities on the platform. Though I am not yet ripe enough to make a testimonial post on my achievements so far, I hope the new month of August will be more remarkable.
***"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose."*** ***-- Wayne Dyerc*** 10 years ago I was just 14 years old. I was young and smart. Hahaha. But kind of stubborn and outspoken, I would say I am in my junior secondary school days then. I have made several posts about my life, my dream, my career, and how I got to where I am today. It has been a journey and a dream so far, I remembered back then I didn't have a device, but my bro got one for himself. It was like a great accomplishment to us then and we cared for his phone like gold. That had given me the opportunity to get a hold of this capture and it would have been lost a long time ago. But thanks to Facebook which had kept it so safe for me to see today, some years after I used it as my profile picture on Facebook and that was around 2012.
Life has been so cool as usual. I lived a life of my own with my parents and had parental care and guidance. And here I am today being so grateful for survival and appreciating the glory and mercy the almighty God has bestowed upon me. Having a discussion about the title, my life had changed a lot over the years back. Physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and I would say every aspect of my life. Without repeating the same story over and over again. For the next ten years, I am praying to the almighty to spare our lives and make us grow old. Only then our hopes and dreams could come to pass. I keep praying and hoping for a better future for myself in ten years to come. I would be 30+ and I would have accomplished some things in life before then if God spared me.
****MARRIAGE:**** You might want to ask why marriage is the first. Lol. It's not easily been a bachelor, cooking, sleeping, watching movies, bathing, thinking all alone. It's not easy my friend. Lol So I'd say if I am spared beyond the next ten years I would get this accomplished by God's grace. But for now or the next five years I have no dream for that yet. 😂 You can’t enjoy a marriage affair when money is never an issue. Marriage without money is like fetching water in a basket so it is better to get a better source of income and dive into getting married. ****OCCUPATION:**** This should come before marriage but I would say I had been into some related stuff so I can't say I am not having something to do. But it's not yet sufficient. I need to take steps higher and get my dreams to come true. So for the next ten years, I hope to have this accomplished too. Though I have always wished to be a business owner and a sole proprietor, I didn't want to serve under any boss. But even if I am to serve under one I don’t want it to be long-term. ****OFFSPRING:**** Lol, In every successful marriage there is one thing they pray for which is to be blessed with children. I pray to give birth to blessed children and grow them like a father and a parent. I wish to have more kids in my life.
Let's stop here for now. Hahaha. Maybe some other day I would have come around and discussed more of my future, who knows if my future wife and children are reading this. 😂😂😂😂😂

Congratulations for reaching this far - growth in every aspect from ten years ago as you said. And I wish you all the best in your next 10 -year endeavors. You have set your plans or goals and I believe you'll get to them in time. Cheers to a wonderful journey for you! Enjoy the process and God bless :)
Hahaha, you kept the same face and that's amazing. It's a wonderful journey and you've gained a lot in 10 years. The next 10 would be amazing.
Marriage 🤣🤣 I'm already in 30's but still have no plan for that 🤣 oh. I have an article about that ..and will be posted tomorrow. Bout our convo with my boss. Lol.
Hehehe. You, my friend, are thinking about marriage already? That's really brave of you. As for me, for the next five years, I'm all about establishing a lecturing and writing career after I must have bagged my master's and doctoral degrees somewhere outside the country. Until then, the plan for marriage doesn't exist in my to-do list 😂
You've gained a lot in your last 10 years. And I wish God bless you to achieve your goals for the next 10!
