I'm 36 this year. If you know my story, you would know why I come to grow some grey hairs at 36.
Even still, I must thank God. Despite the rough ride life took me through from childhood, God enabled me to attain the highest formal education possible by 36 and allows me to live my dream life.
Who could have imagined that a child who lost both parents as early as 3yrs old can still become a doctor - Ph.D. holder at 36?
Again I thank God who gave me the mindset and grace to pursue greatness despite the life hurdles. I also thank my siblings who never abandoned me when there was nobody to help and when I was too young to make the right decisions for myself. I thank family and friends, mentors, and cheerleaders who supported me as I journeyed to stardom.
I must also thank my beloved wife for her belief and supports for me. The last six years have been very demanding on me, but with her support and prayers, I didn't feel the heat. I scaled through the journey with a lot of smiles on my face.
The Bible says "no man can receive anything on earth unless it's given from above".
People, it's God all the way. If you feel discouraged anytime, you can reach out to me. I will tell you the secrets to my staying shoulder-up and smiling. The secret is God. The Bible says,
"seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other thing shall be added unto you".
Never give up. Focus on your dream and wait on God for help. You will live your dream.
Happy Birthday to Dr. Rufus J. Akinrinlola.
