A Letter To My Passed Mediocrity Life

            Dear passed life of Mediocrity that I once lived in the passed few years, how are you doing in the ditch where I have buried you after I discovered the whole lot that you have stolen from me and my beautiful future?


I was lonely on the lane of life because I failed to discover the great man in me. This failure in the dimension of self-discovery made me to become a man who felt less of a human each time I am amidst other men. When there was an opportunity for me to speak to gain some audience that are meant to be mine in the dimension of impacting lives, I would faint on the inside and feel unprepared. But the whole story of my mentality changed the day I met the guy called “self-confidence” he taught me how to be a man. He took me by the hand and led me to the cliff of life and showed me the beauty embedded in my future if only I will live a non-mediocre life from that day. I thought about it for days but was not sure if I wanted out of you (Mediocrity).

I decided to call it a break when I had a dream of my very own riches being carted away after i failed to take a risk of living above my greatest fears in life. As I woke up, I was very angry as if the dream was real because it sounded more like a reality as I was sweating profusely. I shared the story of my love for you (Mediocrity) with my very good friends who never let me mess up in life. They warned me that you meant no good for me all these years for if you really cared, you would help enhance the man in me to be made manifest.

The advices from these awesome friends kept coming as I was still not sure if I wanted to leave my comfort zone to take a step forward into my great future. I was sure it will be great but you (Mediocrity) putted fear on my inside that I lose focus each time I decide to avoid your influence on me. But things changed the night you almost took my life at the Gospel Music Concert in Lagos. You made feel so inferior that when I was asked to leave the back-up mic-stand to substitute the lead vocalist who couldn’t make it to the concert I fainted and dashed my whole body to the drum set behind me on the stage.

After that embarrassing moment, I have decided to let you go, I see truly that you mean no well for my future. That night at the Music concert was an opportunity for me to gain an audience to my music career but you ruined it and yet claim to love me. MEDIOCRITY YOU ARE SO FAKE! I have made up my mind to let go of you before you ruin my life more for I know not the lifespan that God almighty has allocated to me here on earth. I need to get busy with my purpose in life.



Yours Faithfully,

Ike Ani.
