Hi, let me share with you a brief story. Just recently two sisters fled guardians house who happened to be the sister of their late parents and some days later the youngest sent a message that reads

' no body should look for me. Wherever destiny takes me to, I will return to take care of those who took care of me'.

Hilarious right? Smiles. It's teens team!😊

You remember in our intro edition where I said, teens are like Clay. So we'll be focusing more on what molds us. So grab a seat let's talk some truth.

I guess the story must have sunk deep in your memory by now. If you were to be the guardian can you imagine what that would feel like or let's say you were the teen?.
I'm sure you may already be thinking of what could prompt such such action and message from a young teen and her sister.

When I first heard that, the question that called to my mind was- Where do you think destiny will lead you, what if your so called destiny humbles you or brings you home in shackles?

Well, it all boils down to youthful exuberance. The desire to be independent, the ' the leave home syndrome' and wishful thinking of youths

Let's get this twist truths clear;

1. If your 30's isnt proud of your teen or your 60's ashamed of your 30's, you are 70% liable to live in regret.

2. Your teenage isn't and shouldn't be perfect but some day your 70's will look back at your teens and early days, shake their and laugh

Treasure vs pleasure

Hey teen, it's your right to be happy. Yes you deserve it. The last verse of the 11th chapter of ecclesiastes says in fact

follow the ways of your heart.

But heres the deal;😉there's always a time of reckoning. Your choice of pleasure or treasure lies in your hands and so do the c

Let's get deeper and more practical;

What do you do with your life now?

Yeah... I know I got you thinking again but I'm offering to help out.
Do you spend your hours and days gaming, on social media, fun time and sitouts.
None all these are bad but the youthful exuberance that comes with their excessiveness is dangerous🚫

Now we've got the truth, let's go ideate;
I've got another inciting question;
What are you doing with your life?

A big shootout from me to the teens who have decided to leverage on opportunities to be a star.
Few weeks ago I have really been intrigued by some, both male and female. It's just going to be impossible to share all I've noticed, admired and learnt from all of them. But, I'll share with you through an already published write up the experience of a youngster who doesn't spend 17 out of 24hrs in a day to see movies nor invest valueabletime in excess recreation. You can read about Elisha's experience in techhere. A young potential pharmacist, copywriter and more and oh! I call him my tech bro.

You do not need to have elisha's kind of life or experience, you just need to look around you, take up opportunities at your best and scale on them.

Time flies, and one day you should look behind you and have something to prove for all the years.

You are never late,

'the future is now they say', play now, Pay later or pay now, play later.

Which ever way, you get to pay and just one more truth;

You are young, it's better to pay now and play later.

• Is it a skill you see?
  Find it and do it- online or offline.
• Is it a talent you have?
  Display it and display it like a grandmaster
• Are you taking a course?
  Learn it and show yourself approved.
• Have you achieved something in life?
  Do not let it crawl up to your head
  It pays. In whatever success you may achieve, Do not wait for a push, do not wait for a motivation. In your ability and capacity do your best.

Do your best!

You might not be as professional or proficient like your peers, but at your pace, do your best to your life. Your best can't exceed your best, Your pace with your peers may not be the same but always remember that direction matters not speed, so do not judge or compare yourself with the success of others. Theve got their pace and youve got yours just focus on the right part not the highest speed.
But, do not just sit there and wait for mum and dad, don't sit there wishing all day. Let the hunger for success inspire you, let the thirst for success be your driving force. You are already a star, all you need is just a little fan to lit your sparkles.😉

Yup! And that's a wrap for the first edition of 'the star teen'. Next edition comes up next week. See you there!
