NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM
In all our pursuit for success, a better life, a greener land, however far we go, however high we climb, however successful we become, we must never forget where we came from; the hands that raised us, the people who inspired us, the life that birth our drive and motivation for success.
Everything you have been through, everything you know, all your experiences, was born from your relationship with people, your environment, and everything else around you; those things shaped you, they hold the essence of who you are, they taught you resilience when times were hard, humility when your desires are fulfilled, and gratitude for the hands that lifted you. The lessons from that past, those early days are the foundation upon which your future is built.
Anyone who forgets his root will soon dry up, and fall to the ground like a tree severing its own trunk from its root. You may stretch toward the sky, but without the roots that anchor you to your source of strength, and nutrients, you risk losing the strength that holds you up. Some people have made sacrifices to keep you standing, some voices have encouraged you, and spoken for you where you had no voice, some moments would have embarrassed you but for some who stood by you. All these are not just memories, they should be constant reminders of your journey so far.
Success is hollow if it erases the person you once were. True growth is not about outrunning your past but carrying it with you, letting it guide you, keep you honest, and remind you that no height is too great to look back with gratitude. As you move forward, take your history with you, honour it, let it be the compass that keeps you true, because no matter how much you achieve, the story of where you started will always be the most important chapter of all.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
