For there’s nothing in adulthood other than mounting pressures and endless worries – Femi Adediran, 2020.
When a man loses his “childlikeness”, he would be left with nothing but “childishness”. For to be “childlike” is grave wisdom and to be “childish” is gross foolishness – Femi Adediran, 2020.
When you tell a child daddy is coming back tomorrow even when they have just buried his dad in his presence “he believes daddy will come back tomorrow”. A child believes in the resurrection and return of the dead! – Femi Adediran, 2020
It takes “a child” to have undaunting and unwavering faith. Faith is not for the “matured”, because maturity is too familiar with impossibilities in reality! – Femi Adediran, 2020
In the eyes of a child, the world is beautiful, serene and most lovely place. There’s an innocence in the eyes and heart of every child that makes the universe full of rainbow. Reminiscing over child hood age is always a sweet memory and you wonder what has happened to all the sweetness of those years. The nostalgia could be so therapeutic at times that some us just smile in silence.
When we were but a child, nothing is impossible. Everything is possible until we become adults. There was a dream in the heart of every child that was so real that “we can fly an imaginary aircraft all day and we would feel so fulfilled as a pilot.” So interesting.
- With a child there are no worries
- With a child there are no grudges
- With a child there are no revenge
- With a child there are no unforgiveness
- With a child there are no pressures
- Nothing is sweeter than “being a child”
But we all move about today with guilt locking in our conscience because we have sacrificed our “childlike innocence” on the altar of corrupt adulthood. When a man loses his “childlikeness”, he would be left with nothing but “childishness”. For to be “childlike” is grave wisdom and to be “childish” is gross foolishness
When the child in us is dead:
- We become hardened and “a potential criminal”
- We laugh with caution and smile with suspicion
- We dance, minding our steps
- Our sweetness vaporizes and our tears dry faster
Maturity makes us become cocky, cookie and cake. Nothing kills faster than outgrowing your “childlikeness” becoming an adult “knowing good and evil”.
- To live long, stay childlike
- To stay young, stay childlike
- To be happy, stay childlike
- To be healthy, stay childlike
- To trust God, stay childlike
When you tell a child – daddy is coming back tomorrow even when they have just buried his dad in his presence “he believes daddy will come back tomorrow”. A child believes in the resurrection and return of the dead! It takes “a child” to have undaunting and unwavering faith. Faith is not for the “matured”, because maturity is too familiar with impossibilities in reality! To have faith…You must become a child…Believing with no questions or elements of doubt. The “death of the child” in us is the death of “our real life”
- Dont let your marriage kill the child in you
- Dont let your job kill the child in you
- Dont let your situation kill the child in you
- Dont let the economy kill the child in you
- Dont let your relationships kill the child in you
- Dont let pressures kill the child in you
- Dont let “their” hurtful attitude kill the child in you
- Don’t let what you will eat kill the child in you
Fight for the survival of the child that you are, for this is your true life. In all you do, do not outgrow your childlikeness.
- Remain sweet as a child
- Remain forgiving as a child
- Remain trusting as a child
- Remain nice as a child
- Remain “Playful” as a child
- Remain sincere as a child
For this is life in its simplest form. Do not complicate your life and living, “embrace your childhood”
- Sing again for no reason
- Laugh your heart out like there’s no tomorrow
- Fight and make up quickly
- Play with the sand if you can
- Dance to imaginary music
- Run around with the kids
For there’s nothing in adulthood other than mounting pressures and endless worries.
