AGBAYA

Have you ever heard the term Agbaya. It's a Yoruba word used to describe a mature person who still acts like a kid; You know? someone who doesn't act his age. I remember as a young child whenever i did something really naughty like take a bite out of my sister's meat and i got caught, my mom will call me an Agbaya, maybe accompanied with some spanking; this was mainly because she expected more from me being the elder brother. Wondering why i brought up this topic? Well you may have discovered sometimes, disappointments come from people we expect more from. You don't really have a story to tell until you have told one of disappointment, even when it's from people you shown  love and trust. This right here is why regret plays a role in a lot of lives, because they say well i trusted this guy in this business or relationship or even in this family and he let me down.The truth is you can never become all that you have dream t about until you let go of the disappointments you've had to face.

Tim Lahaye wrote a book some years ago titled "Why you act the way you do". A lot of dreams have been conditioned to think that is why they are where they currently are; because they fill they can't get out of their thought patterns and lifestyle. If you are reading this and that is your story then you are an Agbaya because you are not acting up to your full potential. Your dream is not based on what you have done or even what you regret; It is based 100% on who you are and what you have trained yourself to believe about yourself. I f you do this effectively, then you wouldn't be acting less than your age or your potential.

It's not so scarce to find some one once in a while who says "You know i am more than this ". That's right! you may be but you're never gonna be that if you still hold on to your regrets because they make you into who you become. The biggest lie you would tell yourself is that you couldn't maximize your potential because the disappointments you had to face. Faith in your dreams and who you are is what really makes the change you desire. You have to keep working on yourself so you don't end up the agbaya you you're not.

I believe everyone in one way or another feeds their dreams and might actually end up to being what they have been training themselves to be. Which is why you have to evaluate your life and unlearn some of the things that have been programmed in through experiences. Your experience may not be all that can make you up into the man or woman of your dream, It may just be what you have built in your imagination. Imagination is key if you must experience the type of maturity your desire for your future, and that right there is where faith comes in.

Faith in your imaginations and faith in yourself is what brings you out of that agbaya mode and makes you into the proper fulfilled life that you imagine for yourself. Lost faith in real causes is the real reason why some people get frustrated in life, so here is an idea; use your imagination to its biggest stretch and always think about what you're doing before you do it. How well you use you imagination in projecting the future may be all you country needs for a turn around. Don't stop imagining in the right direction
