When the moment comes to show others your offering they will be amazed and will say to each other : 'There is a successful man, because everyone wants the fruits of his labours.'
No one will ask what it cost to produce those fruits, because anyone who does his work with love fills his creation with such intensity that it cannot be perceived by the eyes. Just as an acrobat flies easily through the air, with no apparent effort, success, when it comes, seems the most natural thing in the world.
Meanwhile if anyone did dare to ask, the answer will be: I considered giving up I thought God was no longer listening to me, I often had to change direction, and on the other occasions I lost my way.

I am poet, farmer, artist, soldier, father, trader, seller, teacher, politician, sage and someone who merely takes care of home and children.

It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace. " ~ Manuscript Found in Accra
