Hey ,

I’ve said this before — and I’ll keep saying it.

You can’t achieve anything meaningful in life without resilience.

I don’t care how talented, intelligent, or prayerful you are — if you don’t build the stamina to keep going when things get tough, your plans will keep looking good… only on paper.

Let me remind you of something personal.

There was a season of my life when everything seemed like it was falling apart. I spent two extra years in school, not because I wasn’t smart, but because of serious health challenges. I watched my mates graduate while I was stuck, trying to keep my body and mind together.

It wasn’t easy.

There were days I cried. Days I questioned everything. Days I wanted to just give up and settle.

But somehow — and I still believe it was God’s grace and sheer resilience — I kept going. I kept showing up. I kept believing that my story didn’t end there.

And guess what?

Fast-forward to today, I’ve worked with international brands, across three continents and six countries.

I’m living proof that resilience pays.

So this is your reminder:

Your journey won’t always be smooth.

You’ll have delays, detours, and even dead ends.

But don’t stop.

Don’t give up just because things are hard.

Learn. Adjust. Cry if you have to.

But keep going.

That’s how people win.

That’s how you’ll win too.

With love,

Darasimi ✨
