LETTER TO MY WIFE ON OUR 8TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY By Kingsmith Akinwale

LETTER TO MY WIFE ON OUR 8TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

My Dearest Duchess, 

Eight years. Yes, Eight 'goddam' years baby. 

It feels like a lifetime, yet it also feels like yesterday when we took that leap of faith, promising each other a future filled with love and hope. Looking back on everything we’ve shared, I can’t help but marvel at the incredible journey we’ve had together. From the quiet moments to the loud, joyous chaos of family life, every chapter of our story has been more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.

When I think of what we’ve built, I think of our children—our little miracles who remind me every day of the love that started it all. Watching you become a mother, seeing the way you nurture and guide our kids with such tenderness and strength, fills me with an indescribable sense of pride and awe. Our family, our little world, is everything to me, and it’s all because of you—the love you give, the sacrifices you’ve made, and the endless joy you bring to our lives.

When we started out, we had dreams, yes, but we didn’t know exactly how they would unfold. What we lacked in material things, we made up for in hope, determination, and faith in each other. Now, as I look at where we are today, I can’t help but marvel at how far we’ve come. From humble beginnings, we’ve truly moved from grass to grace. Every step, every hardship, every victory has been worth it, and the beauty of our life together is a testament to our strength and resilience. 

The other day, we counted the years right from the first anniversary of our meeting in 2014, it has been nothing but progress. And here's 2024 that is no different. Oh wow! 

But more than just the past, I think of the future—of all the untold chapters waiting to be written, all the dreams still yet to come true. I see us growing even stronger, continuing to rise together, hand in hand, through whatever life brings our way. I know that the best is still ahead of us, and I am filled with excitement for the years to come. The future we will build, the places we’ll go, and the memories we’ll create—it all seems so bright when I imagine it with you by my side.

On this special day, our 8th anniversary, I want to thank you. Thank you for being my partner, my love, my best friend, and the incredible mother of our children. Thank you for believing in us, for never giving up, and for loving me with all your heart. I am beyond blessed to walk through life with you.

Here’s to all the years we've had, and all the beautiful ones yet to come.

Forever and always,

Your Duke, 

Kingsmith Akinwale Snr.

Be A Seed By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Every seed in the farmer’s hand has great potential to produce bountifully and to multiply endlessly.

But to unlock this potential, the farmer must release the seed from his hand, drop it in dirt, cover it in darkness and leave it to struggle to reach the light.

For me, i believe to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is one of the greatest achievement of all time.

Dearest Momuchi, 

I love you so much. Without you, I would never be here where I am right now (quite literally). You've been my biggest inspiration of my life. You are so strong, so compassionate, and so incredibly generous.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.

I understand it is challenging now. I know things are not unfolding as you desire or anticipated.

Today is a commemoration of the hurdles you have overcome, the potholes you have avoided, and the tests you have surmounted.

BDO and his RR. 

Bishop Oyedepo has received One Billion Naira and a Royce for his birthday .... Some people are angry about it and say that money could go to the poor as if they are holier than God 😅😅 People are strange 😂😂

Know Your Value By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.

Bishop David Oyedepo will forever be recognized as the enigmatic, generational, and transformational church leader he is. He would likely be the first to acknowledge this as his defining identity—God’s servant.

Be Comfortable Being Alone Sometimes By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation 

Embrace Solitude at Times!

It's perfectly fine, and here's an important truth you must grasp.

Flow With Life By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation
The moment we choose to yield to the natural rhythm and flow of life, our path will unfold effortlessly.

The truth is, we often attempt to control everything, and in doing so, we obstruct the magic that could manifest in our lives.

Charge Yourself By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation

Desire Success in Life?

I have both Good News and BAD News…

My friend, many people believe that luck or magic plays a role in achieving success. They think there are the “haves” and the “have nots,” and that one is destined to be one or the other

Letter To My Sister By Kingsmith Akinwale

Letter To My Sister On Hér Birthday.

My Dearest Mummy,

I don’t know much, but I do know the happiness and love I must have felt the day you came home. I must be so happy to have a baby sister, mainly because I was excited to be able to swaddle you in love. I'm sure you weren't bald at all, and I loved listening to you laugh, still do. Maybe that’s why I love the sound of babies laughing…It all started with you.

Be Grateful By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation
In comparison to the negative aspects you encounter, a careful examination will reveal that you have tenfold more positive elements in your life.

Letting Go By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation

Change can be arduous.

I understand that fear and the aversion to solitude can be overwhelming.

Now, comprehend this:

No Work, No Luck By Kingsmith Akinwale.

#MondayMorningMotivation

Fortune and luck has a unique tendency to favor those who do not depend upon it.

I appreciate this sentiment. We must all be diligent and proactive... Resting on our laurels and waiting for luck to illuminate our path only complicates our journey.

Start Somewhere By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation
I have examined the lives of eminent men and women who ascended to greatness; they were the ones who approached their tasks with boundless energy, enthusiasm, and diligence.

Make Your Silence Golden By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation

There are individuals who are prone to excessive verbosity, unwittingly laying bare their plans and aspirations to adversaries, oblivious to the fact that some of their purported friends are actually wolves in sheep's clothing.

The truth is that one need not invariably partake in every discourse, as doing so may result in self-sabotage.

Embrace Change By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation. 

Embrace the prospect of transformation.

Revamping your life is a formidable task! It demands unwavering commitment to redirect the course of your life.

Letter To My Wife By Kingsmith Akinwale

LETTER TO MY WIFE(DUCHESS)!

To my G:

Where do I even begin?!

Oh yeah, I know it's been a while I dropped a piece for you here. But again, I think it's time to pick up my pen for you. This time, the message isn't just from me. But also, the kids. So I am writing to you today to remind you of how much I and in extension the kids, LOVE YOU.

Yes, I know it is not your birthday, or Valentine’s Day, or any other special occasion. It’s just an ordinary day; a Friday to be exact.

I’m writing to you today because I just came to the realization that life has been extremely chaotic lately and I have been selfishly choosing to focus on myself instead of you and our relationship.

I would first like to start off by telling you that never in my life had I thought that I would ever find someone who loves me the way you do. Not that I believed that I was incapable of being loved, but I simply could not fathom finding someone who could ever appreciate and cherish me the way I dreamed about.

That is.., until you walked into my life. Even when life gets in the way, I still love you more than words can describe. You are constantly on my mind as I go about my everyday business, either directly or subconsciously in the back of my head. You are with me in every single thing I do, and everywhere I go.

You are my one and only; my past, present, and future; my soulmate.

What exactly is a soulmate?

Does every single person in the world have one? Do each of us individuals only get one shot at being matched up with one other person in the entire world? I may not have all of the answers, but I know one thing to be true. You are my SOULMATE. You make my soul happy. You are my love, companion, and above all, my best friend.

I truly believe that there is not one other person in the world who gets my humor, my mannerisms, and my heart like you do. If you are not my intended soulmate from the Maker, then I don’t ever want to meet the one who was instead intended for me.

I want you to know how much I appreciate you. I may not tell you enough, or show it. You do so many little things for me that go unnoticed. I want to apologize for the moments when I was blind to see what you do for me; I want to apologize if I have ever overlooked you. I want you to know that even when I am incapable of seeing how lucky and blessed I am to have you, I still am forever thankful. For the Akinwale-Smith, it is a privilege to have you in our corner.

I want you to know that our friendship means everything to me, and that I simply could not survive in this crazy world without you. You give me the truth when I need to hear it, courage when I need confidence, and love when I am flawed.

There is no one else I would rather lay up at night and talk with about crazy things that only the two of us could even think of. There is no one else who I would rather travel with, see the world, and experience new adventures with. There is no one else who simply could ever get me the way you do.

You have given me a safe haven to be myself and not be ashamed of all of the parts that make up my soul. You give me security that makes me feel safe and centered; a shoulder to cry on when needed and a hand to hold when I am lost in the dark. I know that whatever life throws my way, I will be able to handle it because you are at my side.

There is nothing that we could never face together. Without you, I am weak. With you, I am strong and capable of anything I set my mind to.

I want to thank you for giving me love when I am undeserving. For your forgiveness when I make mistakes; for your unwavering faithfulness to our relationship. For your care and support for the kids. For your kind and gentle touch when you comfort me; for your ability to apologize when you are in the wrong and take responsibility for your actions.

You have taught me so much about strength and tenacity, even when all odds are against me. I'm glad that you are reaping the efforts.

I want to thank you for your continued support and faith in me as I journey through my endeavors. You have never once doubted me, told me I should give up, or told me that I could not do something. Your positivity and confidence in me continues to baffle me each day. I know that if I ever need a pick-me-up or someone to tell me, “Keep trying,” or “Don’t give up,” I know I can turn to you. You are my support system and my fan club; my motivation to push myself and always reach for bigger and higher goals. You have taught me to believe in myself and to appreciate my own worth, a task that is not always easy.

Trust me, If I were to suddenly leave this world sooner than later, I would be overjoyed that I experienced such a rare and honest form of love. To have been loved and cherished by someone wholeheartedly is a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our relationship is my most treasured possession, and I will take this love with me everywhere I go.

Please, If you ever feel like I am taking you for granted, please open up this letter. Let it be a reminder of how I feel about our relationship and its worth to me. Remember how much I love you. I loved you the minute our eyes first met. I love you deeply, and I always will.

The kids and I are proud of you and we will always remain the first point of contact that you can reach out to. Please fly, we are the safe landing space you will be needing. And we are here.

❤️❤️❤️
Your Hubby(Duke),
Kingsmith Akinwale.

Choose To Stay By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Listen, your life is worth living!

I don't know you; I don't know what situation you are in or the storm that is blowing in your life right now. But no matter what you are going through, your life is worth living.

Don't Fail At Your Charge By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation

Parents who wonder where the younger generation is going should remember where it came from.

A wit once said that we should "train up a child in the way he should go and go there ourselves once in a while.'' Obviously, that's a good and sound advice.

Change Your Thinking Diet By Kingsmith Akinwale

Habits are about the only servants that will work for you for nothing. Just get them established and they will operate even though you are going around in a trance.

Forgive To Be Unburdened By Kingsmith Akinwale

 #MondayMorningMotivation

Do you realize your forgiveness will unburden  yourself no matter what others may have done?

How???

Let Go By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

What is eating you up? Let it go!

Yeah, it is hard to let go but really, sometimes it hurts more to hold on to it.

Reward Yourself By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Overtime, i have discovered that personal reward triggers the "feeling good substance" in our brain.

Everytime you accomplish something in your life, reward yourself! I mean giving yourself a special treat for the little steps and successes you are making.

K.R.I.P Dad By Kingsmith Akinwale

As DEATH remains the golden key that opens the palace of eternity, and you were snatched away by its cold hand back on this day in 2010, as we wept, mourned, grieved and even reminiscent, we were made to believe that your time was up.

Master Your Words By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Your words are powerful!

Here's how it works.

One word of negativity can soil a whole day-sapping the energy and drive of the day.

Same way, one positive word can get you fired up and help you push further.

Evaluate Yourself By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Are you really satisfied with the life you are living right now? Is that the best you can be? Are you living the best version of you?

You see, sometimes our greatest enemy is right within us(our own success). You don't need to look outside; check within!

Your Presence Is Your Voice By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Your presence is your voice.

If it is strong enough you will be felt without a word being spoken.

Now that is loud huh? 

Are You M.A.D By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation 

ARE YOU M.A.D?

Are you (M)aking (A) (D)ifference? Are you just sitting and clapping your hands for others as if you are their escort in life?

Proverbs 11:25 says, “When you refresh others, you will be refreshed.”

Don't Compromise Your Value By Kingsmith Akinwale.

#MondayMorningMotivation 

Hello my friend,

Do you realize your promises and commitments are not just devices for achieving the purpose of the moment?

Be Faith-Full By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

Living is a risk...

...and If you are not scared sometimes, then you are not doing it right.

I tell people, don't worry about mistakes but about what you are giving up when you don't even try. Don’t complain about the difficulty.

To Change, Be Deliberate By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation 

TO CHANGE, BE DELIBERATE!

Our rising in life is often thwarted by our lust for convenience. We all desire change for a better life, but we are seldom decelerated by the subtleties of wanting more returns for lesser inputs.

Letter To My Son On His 6th Birthday By Kingsmith Akinwale

Letter To My Son On His 6th Birthday.

Dear Kingsmith Akinwale Jr., 

Another 21st of April, another birthday for you.

Just six years ago your mum 'laughed' you in to the world – literally.  I won’t scar you with too many gory details as i was fully present that very day, but I will tell you that you came into the world as she laughed out loud – a great, big loud, guffaw…. and I had the pure pleasure of pulling you up onto my stomach. I was the very first one to touch you as you were born. What a joyful day for me.

Believe By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

LIFE; A ROLLER-COASTER! 

Yes! Life can be hard. It can be the most joyous thing in one moment and the most grueling the next.

It is like a rollercoaster.

The Willing Power By Kingsmith Akinwale

#MondayMorningMotivation.

MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. (SAYS THE HOLY BOOK).

This is not because of lack of abilities, gifts or even talents.

Actions, they say speaks louder than your words, but your thoughts dictate your life.

You must note that the biggest struggles you will ever face in your life is not gonna be temptation, the devil, not even the fight for your faith but THE REHABILITATION OF YOUR MIND. 

Can I boldly make a statement?

The most powerful thing on earth is your WILL!

Look, even God, the creator of everything Heaven, Earth, under the Earth will not change the mind of anyone outside of one's will. Yes, this may be difficult to receive but it's a simple truth.

Nothing changes until your conceptualization is apprehended. 

What you see and what you hear are small steps to what you are capable of doing as your life is the result of what you conditioned yourself to believe.

It is true that salvation doesn't guarantee conviction but conviction is a means to salvage your life!

There are some stuff you've been wanted to ask for but because it had been kept from you through rejection for so long, you are afraid to ask again. That is the power of the Mind. 

This moment you are in right now is the right moment for you to go after the things you always wanted, there will never be a better opportune time than the one you got!

You must decide to pursue, recover and take over what's yours.

Boom. It's a new week my friend, let's make magic happen again.

Be phenomenal. Be great. I believe in the GREATNESS in you.

The truth is, momentum is a powerful force to achieving your dreams. And once you get it going, it will keep you going.

However, the question is, how do you get there in the first place?

Look From A Different Angle By Kingsmith Akinwale

Do you realize you can detach yourself from your problems and look at them as if they are being experienced by someone else?

Whichever you need, all you need to do is to trade the other two for it.

Dear Duchess,

I cannot believe you turned this fabulous number. I never thought this day would come as fast as it did. I feel like it was just yesterday when we met and now here we are, celebrating this day. You have been such an inspiration to me in LIFE and LOVE. Thank you for being there through it all. Happy birthday my Duchess, I will always love you.

Faith Defies Logic By Kingsmith Akinwale

 #MondayMorningMotivation.

Faith is trusting God even when you don't understand His Plan.

Overtime, I have discovered that many times in life we begin to add logic to everything that is happening in our lives and those logic make our life so miserable that we feel inferior of our existence.

10 Powerful Ways to Beat Stress

Stress has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it, but how you respond is only half the battle. The secret to winning the war against stress lies in what you do when you aren't working (and presumably aren't stressed).

While I have a hobby that I engage in regularly (surfing), it isn't the antidote to stress you might think. Think about it: even if you have a hobby that you're deeply passionate about, you aren't going to spend more than 10% of your time outside of work doing it. It's what you do with the other 90% that really matters.
