FREESTYLE 2 ; YOUR RACE!!!!!!

This article you are about reading was written by a friend of mine,a lady I  so much respect. Yes she's chic, a lady of worth *wink*.  Ow her name? OLOYEDE  TOLU

Enjoy!!!



With energy and vigour, Chuks kept running on his lane. He kept a straight face and had his focus right. The sound of cheers from his supporters boosted his morale and an encouraged Chuks kept running, maintaining the third position. Suddenly, he took a quick look at the front and he saw Kunle and Victor ahead running with all their might. Oh not again!!! he thought, these duo have been a tough one for him. In previous races, he had tried defeating them but to no avail. Kunle was taking the lead with the first position while Victor was trailing behind with the second position. I have to show them today, chuks swore.

His gaze shifted from his lane to Kunle’s lane. His swift body swept past Victor making him the custodian of the second position, one more to go he smiled to himself. Alas! the finish line was here, Chuks was happy he bagged the second position. His joy was cut short when the umpire told him he was disqualified. For what, how? were the questions written on his face. Unknown to Chuks, he had crossed over to Kunle’s lane while running. His gaze and attention was all on Kunle that he didn’t notice that costly mistake.

Dear reader, are you in any way like chuks? This is a reminder to us to always be mindful of our lane in this race of life. Don’t copy others to the extent that you become a shadow of yourself. Its good to have role models fine, but don’t be so obsessed that you just want to do everything they do. That which is good for them may be bad for you. There is something so
unique about you let it out, come out of your shell. Launch out, find out that which you’ve been called to do, don’t sing because your friend sings, sing because you have that calling. Remember, it is your race run it, don’t run someone else’s race. I hope its not late to tell you this, HAPPY NEW YEAR.
