My dad would often sit me down and tell me as much as he would. When I appeared in the midst of other kids, I had more to say to them. I had more to express than they would, and I had more energy to put into what made us children than they could. There were no challenges YET, but this man was busy teaching me how to navigate life's challenges. There were no decisions YET, but he kept teaching me how to make decisions. I had no idea what adversities were but my father was lecturing me, as often as he did, how to stand firm in the face of adversity. I didn't understand anything, but daily he would sit me down and speak the wisdom of life to me. He died in the early days of MY YOUTH, but he's living on even until the later days of MY AGE. Yes, he's really gone, but he didn't leave me a child; he planted adulthood in me before he left. He is NOT here but he has always been here; I do not lack guidance, I only lack presence. His words that I have with me are enough and able to sustain me for my lifetime. He didn't know he would die, but he invested in MY FUTURE as early as he did. His investment in me was not just providing for my physical needs—he did MORE. He kept equipping me with the wisdom and character necessary to thrive in life. This is how I knew that true leadership is not about being present all the time but about imparting wisdom and values that transcend time and circumstance. This experience has taught me the importance of investing in the next generation. If you are a parent or mentor, now you still have the opportunity to shape the lives of those who will one day take the reins. Don't wait until they are older; impart wisdom and values to them now—right away. Don't wait until that male child is 20; train up “A CHILD”, not until he becomes “A YOUTH”, in the way he should go and when he's grown, he will NOT depart from it. The foundation laid in childhood will determine the trajectory of their life. The values, principles, and character formed in those early years will shape their decisions and actions as adults. Train that female child now; don't wait until she fails or repeats AN ERROR. This is NOT just a suggestion; it's a blueprint for successful parenting. I'm the oldest young man in town—the strongest of my kind—about, because my father aged me early enough. @highlight And I'm telling you for FREE. ~ Ajagunsegun Oluwadamilola • 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 (𝐓𝐌𝐅𝐄) • 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭 (𝐁.𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰) 💊 • 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 #movewithajagunsegun
