Breaking my Social Media silence for Will Smith's 50th birthday, today, September 25, which he ushered in with so much oomph, if you follow him on @instagram you'll know what I mean.
Years ago...I watched an interview of his where he said: "...when you lead with love and light you should expect nothing but good results." He said his grandma taught him that.
And that kinda stayed with me over the years, imminent in my actions, foreshadowing my thoughts.. And in this Lagos society riddled with hustle bustle, money-hungry, narcissistic, cutthroat scoundrels disguised as countrymen, I've tried to stay above water and respect that and resisted the urge to succumb to their debased tactics. Even at times (more times than I care to remember) when I've lost (personally and professionally) I've fought back tears and thought: I did lead with love and light, so why did I lose? Failure wasn't the expected outcome. It never is. But that's the way of the world, I suppose.
I keep to it to this day and I'm hoping my life will be just as exemplary, fun and fulfilled as his some day.
What else is there? 💝💝
...with love and light #AnitaWrites
