Growing up with Yoruba people is one of the most tiring, frustrating, beautiful and teaching experiences, those women are divine and made by God himself, they’ll tell you to bring broom for them and when you bring it they’ll say you’re rude (strange ryt?) lol you’ll hear comments like “so I asked you to bring broom and you can’t even say you’ll sweep and you’re even giving me the broom” well it would end at the talking if you have a nice mother, if you have a mean mother you’ll possibly receive a slap with the warning.lol and that’s how I learnt listening for implied meaning even before I was taught in English on reading for implied meaning.
Something happened when I was way younger an adult sent me to tell another adult that she was stupid loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool I’d never forget that day, I walked confidently to the other person and I’m like “aunty K, aunty T said to tell you you’re very stupid” (lobatan), I got a slap and she goes Busayo what did you say and stupidly I said it again gbam!!, and I’m like its aunty T that said to tell you that, and that’s when I learnt, its not what other people say its what you say yourself.
maybe your life is like:
My mom said I’d never be good enough
My dad thinks I’m worthless
My teachers think I’m useless
My doctors think I’d never be healthy
My last boyfriend said I’m the ugliest person ever
Maybe someone has said any of these things to you or even worse, my word today is; its not about what people say or have said to you its about what you say to your self, after everyone has said what they like concerning you, what do you say about yourself, you’re a product of what you speak into your life. I had this impression that its what others speak into your life that matters but now I know better its what they say or because they say it, it’s because you accepted it, your destiny isn’t in the hands of any man, it’s in your mount and in the hands of God, a song I love says speak int the atmosphere. Speak it and be it.
When people say negative things to or about you refuse it, reject it, when they say you’re ugly tell them you’re fearfully and wonderfully made, when they say you’re sick tell them the chastisement of your peace was laid on the king and by his stripes you have been healed so you can’t be sick. You can’t control what people say to and about but you can choose the effect it has over your life, you can either accept it or reject it. The year is ended I’ve heard people pass different comments about the year 2014 and say evil into 2015 both as individuals and over the country but that don’t matter what matters is, what do you say? Well for me I say I AM THE BEAUTIFIED OF THE KING and FOR MY COUNTRY I SPEAK PEACE, because it’s not what people say again it’s what I say. What do you say?
Love always
