The narrow way only allow for limited friends, limited pleasures, limited rest. Everything is limited on this way so that he who walks therein lead an unlimited life – Femi Adediran, 2020
And when all is said and done, it is what we do on the narrow way that makes our life counts.- Femi Adediran, 2020
We find it so soothing to walk the path of others because it is an established path with no “demand of discovery”, but in the end, it leads to an unfulfilled life. You can only be fulfilled on your own lane – Femi Adediran, 2020
On the narrow way, there are no competition. You only have compete with your own self and break your own record. This is what makes many quit the narrow way, the love of glamour of competition, having to “beat others to it” rather than beating their own self to it – Femi Adediran, 2020
If you can break your own record, no one else is better than you. You must strive to break your own record all the time. This is the greatest promotion in life. If you have to wait until you are “promoted by other men”, that is not a “promotion so well deserved”. Your best bet is in breaking your own records daily with or without acknowledgement from nobody – Femi Adediran, 2020
On the narrow way, what you do is what you know and what you know is what you do. You rely on wisdom from above because your journey on this road is so peculiar that you cannot afford to be ill advised – Femi Adediran, 2020
The wide road is full of options but varieties is a luxury on the narrow way. Options be good in the “short run” but they limit you in the “long run”. When you have no options, you are stucked on one thing until you break all limitations – Femi Adediran, 2020
Our narrow way are different, so also our discipline. That is why, you should be careful not to castigate anybody for their perhaps “preservative or conservative” lifestyle. You don’t have to understand my own curriculum. Understand your own curriculum and stick to it. – Femi Adediran, 2020
It is called narrow because it is restricted, limited and circumscribed. It is restricted because it is the way for those who have shed their weights and are willing to shed further weight according to the dimensions of the way. Flamboyancy is not allowed on this road. It is the road to fulfillment of Great dreams and Destiny. There’s comfort in company but if you must follow the narrow path the comfort of company as well be opportunity forgone
The narrow way is the way of loneliness. Sometimes, it gets so cold on this way with no one to hold for warmth and at times it gets so hot that you wish someone should be there to provide cooling for your heat. But alas, it is a path all by yourself. If you so love to be pampered, the narrow way not be for you. Your comfort is in “the beauty of your not so comfortable resolve”
The path way is the path of “self-discipline”, it is the path of ” self-control” and “Self dedication” Not many can walk in it, not many can find it, that is why we can only have a few great men. It is the way of Great men. On the narrow way, you set your own standards and live by your own rules. And you can only go as far as you are able to live by your own standards and obey your own rules on this way. That is why the narrow way is no place of deception. You can only deceive one person on the narrow way. And that one person is You!
You be able to hide in the crowd on the wide road, pretending to be who you are not. On the narrow way, there is no hiding place, you are as bare as you are. You are your own crowd on the narrow way. On the narrow way, your score card is always with you even as you do your own markings. The reality of your own sincerity or insincerity will always stare you in the face.
- It be lonely on this way but it will lead to great companionship in the end
- It be rough on this road but it will deliver to you the finesse of life in a shining beauty
- It be stressful on the way but only to lead you to a place of rest
- It be inconvenient but comfort awaits you in the end
- It not be rosy buy it will eventually produce rose
- It is the path of perseverance and endurance because it’s a long destiny walk sometimes in the dark and sometimes in the light
Only on this way is way is security Guaranteed. No one on this way get missing or lost. You can’t miss your way on the narrow way because it is one way. The only way. There are too many exits on the wide road. Exit to convenience and comforts. When you obey the demand of the narrow path, you have only positioned yourself to be in “unending demand”. Men who have come through the narrow way are always in high demand and are always in short supply because not many can go through the “production room”
The narrow way is only wide enough to accommodate destiny dimensions, no junk is allowed. That is why men who have been through this way and are going through this way sometimes appear non accommodating and unfriendly. The narrow way only allow for limited friends, limited pleasures, limited rest. Everything is limited on this way so that he who walks therein lead an unlimited life. Men on this road sometimes are “mean” so they can “make meaning”.
Any Junkie can be on the wide road but no junk is allowed on the narrow road. On the narrow way, what you do is what you know and what you know is what you do. You rely on wisdom from above because your journey on this road is so peculiar that you cannot afford to be ill advised . The wide road is full of options but varieties is a luxury on the narrow way. Options be good in the “short run” but they limit you in the “long run”. When you have no options, you are stucked on one thing until you break all limitations.
Our narrow way are different, so also our discipline. That is why, you should be careful not to castigate anybody for their perhaps “preservative or conservative” lifestyle. You don’t have to understand my own curriculum. Understand your own curriculum and stick to it. We all have a personal path for our feet, our own narrow path. It is with its peculiar demands and It is private. We find it so soothing to walk the path of others because it is an established path with no “demand of discovery”, but in the end, it leads to an unfulfilled life. You can only be fulfilled on your own lane. On the narrow way, there are no competition. You only have compete with your own self and break your own record. This is what makes many quit the narrow way, the love of glamour of competition, having to “beat others to it” rather than beating their own self to it.
If you can break your own record, no one else is better than you. You must strive to break your own record all the time. This is the greatest promotion in life. If you have to wait until you are “promoted by other men”, that is not a “promotion so well deserved”. Your best bet is in breaking your own records daily with or without acknowledgement from nobody. And when all is said and done, it is what we do on the narrow way that makes our life counts.
