Quote by Abiodun Fijabi

“Every now and then, I take a stock of you, just to be sure I am according you the respect you deserve. If I can't add to or subtract from you, then I am constrained to constantly learning to manage you better. If nothing can be done except within the space you provide, then I am stuck with you. I understand opportunities, and indeed life itself, are locked up in your bowels. I have decided, God helping me, to see you as you are - a friend. You are not against me. You are actually on my side. You are my ally in the pursuit of my dreams. You are an equal opportunity gift from God to all of mankind. You are the mystery I have to decode, as I try to unravel which portion of you I should devote to what portion of my life at any particular moment. I take responsibility for the way I treat you. If I think you are holding a gun to my head, then I haven't treated you well. If I fritter you away on frivolities, I have to admit I haven't accorded you the respect you deserve. If i am able to devote sufficient portion of your value to my most important priorities, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Dear God. Please help me to utilize every moment in TIME in furtherance of my life's purpose and destiny.”

“People are naturally drawn together – those who belong to each other. It’s a very instinctive thing. Such important decisions as who to let into our life and in what way we will let that person in are best made from a deep knowing in our heart. Many relationships seem irrational to other people. Sometimes, the depth of a relationship and what the people will do to remain together may seem incomprehensible. If we understand there is a certain belonging to each other then it helps to go with the flow of life. Sometimes, people come together for a short time as that is the design of that relationship. Sometimes, it’s a lifetime. Sometimes, it’s much longer than one life on Earth.”

“Wenn ich mir so ansehe, wie du dich laufend veränderst, muss ich immer wieder feststellen, wie sehr der Mensch einem Gefäß ähnelt, wirklich. Ein Gefäß, dessen Inhalt jederzeit veränderlich, austauschbar ist. So ist auch der Mensch in der Lage, ein anderer zu werden. Das Prinzip ist gleich: Du gehst deinen Weg, und die Fügungen des Schicksals sorgen zwar dafür, dass du immer wieder Neues hineintust, aber ganz unten , auf dem Boden unter diesem sich ständig wandelnden Inhalt, bleibt das Gefäß letztlich doch dasselbe, da lieft die "Sakumi", die du immer bleiben wirst, das, was man vielleicht "Seele" nennen könnte, und nur das allein ändern sich erstaunlicherweise nicht, es bleibt immer da , nimm alles auf, versucht sich zu freuen. Wenn ich daran denke, dass das immer dasein wird, bis du stirbst, bin ich so gerührt, irgendwie so schmerzlich berührt, dass ich nicht mehr ein noch aus weiß!”
