The Bad, the Ugly, and the Nonsense

Life begins to make meaning when you are able to see the GOOD in your BAD. The BEAUTY in your UGLINESS and the SENSE in your NONSENSE – Femi Adediran, 2020

You must be able to challenge yourself, encourage yourself, console yourself, affirm yourself and embrace yourself even alone. This is called inner strength – Femi Adediran, 2020

Our average speed in life is the same. Someone is rising when you are falling and another is falling when you are rising. So, do not scorn the “faller” nor envy the “riser”, it will soon be your turn – Femi Adediran, 2020

If others appear not to be there for you, don’t be disappointed. Be strong enough to be there for yourself because the man you are looking up to is probably “looking after himself” at the moment. The biggest disservice you would have done to yourself is NOT to be there for yourself. You would have broken your own heart and make weak your own bones – Femi Adediran, 2020

An interesting movie is always short no matter its duration. This is the irony of our life. It is over when it’s getting so interesting! – Femi Adediran, 2020


None of us are immune from the many vicissitudes of life. Sometimes they become so bad that it looks so ugly and then it makes no sense. We all have issues. We will all have issues. So, no one should become overly anxious or excessively nervous because even the seemingly most stable man is anxious and nervous about something.

The only way to live is to take one day at a time. Dealing with life as it unfolds before you. Our average speed in life is the same. Someone is rising when you are falling and another is falling when you are rising. So, do not scorn the “faller” nor envy the “riser”, it will soon be your turn. Our life is like a roller coaster with many steep shapes and tight turns…many emotional highs and lows…really good times alternating with really difficult times

Life becomes ” livable” and enjoyable when we learn to live with our “own issues” knowing fully well that everyone has an issue too. Your life becomes admirable when you realize that you are not the only one who is living with issues after all.

  • We can make lemonade out of our lemon
  • We can make a message out of our mess
  • Crying can become singing
  • Dying can become a dance

We must be able to dance in the Sun and sing in the rain. We will all get to that point when we would have to sing alone, dance alone, laugh alone, cry alone. Live alone even in the midst of the crowd. This is not time to become bitter. It is time to get better, building you.  You must be able to challenge, encourage, console, affirm and embrace yourself even alone. This is called inner strength.

If others appear not to be there for you, don’t be disappointed. Be strong enough to be there for yourself because the man you are looking up to is probably “looking after himself” at the moment. The biggest disservice you would have done to yourself is NOT to be there for yourself. You would have broken your own heart and make weak your own bones. Life begins to make meaning when you are able to see the GOOD in your BAD. The BEAUTY in your UGLINESS and the SENSE in your NONSENSE.

Our lives are like onions with multiple layers. It’s a lifetime discoveries of both good and bad. Take the advantage to dance and to laugh with others. Take the advantage to cry and to mourn with others too. It is to your advantage because it’s an opportunity to be part of other people’s lives

Life is a cycle, we will experience all kinds of weather before it is over. An interesting movie is always short no matter its duration. This is the irony of our life. It is over when it’s getting so interesting!
