True Identity

Born in the world whose beauty is defined only by physical appearances. Physical appearance prone to frailty! With little or no sense of internal beauty founded on good character; he went on with life full of himself...basking in a glory doomed to fail. Little did he know that this would be it fate!


Has he grew, also did his regal and opulence in his appearance! Family and friends were in awe and innocently but persistently praised him.This inevitable increased his ego until he became an egotistical fool.


Intelligence and eloquence came easily...tools which he used on the opposite sex. Any girl that sorted his profile he accosted and his charm does the rest. Even with ladies with high walls of inhibition...was just a matter of time until it came crumbling down.


He became so confident of self that his kingdom was built high and mighty but on a shallow ground...on a foundation with little or no substance. He enjoyed life as he basked in the luxury of his opulence; everything seemed to be working fine but little did he know that the same fate that awaits anyone with pride built on self or a kingdom built on shallow foundation would befall him.


Suddenly, like a house of cards left in the wind, his whole kingdom came crumbling down; leaving him exposed. He looked around but found no one. All his friends, both male and female, that were always at his feet were no where to be found. Like a baby strip away from his mother's succulent bosom, he was left exposed. His confidence began to shrink...his wit and charm began to fail him...he was no longer the one everybody wanted to see or listen to. A man that had the capacity to control the crowd now can't even get himself together.


He was lost...or was he? You see...before a fruit is formed, it seed has to die! If a seed abides by itself, it would only remain a seed but for it to produce a fruit it must fall to the ground and die. Exactly what he was going through....a stage of death! It was at this stage where self was put to death that his True Identity emerged.


It was when the crowd had dissipated...when the fog of opinions and ideas had disappeared...when he was left all alone... that's when he began to see and hear clearly. He has now become!


Today, just like the fruit that has blossomed into a fruitful vine, he has emerged and gained all the qualities he needs. He is confident...he is bold...he is audacious. Not only does he control the crowd but he influences it. He...is Reborn!
