If you're reading this, I guess it's great.
I am a really happy that you were worth the wait.
You are the legitimate products of your mother—my soul mate.
We must see a future together in a new light, I don't want a situation that'll frustrate.
Without further ado or time wasting let me dive right in, let's go straight.
From when you were in your mother's womb God knew you.
And I want you all to know him more.
I will do my best to teach you all his Word.
God molded you and he is in charge of your destiny and your future.
Trust God, love him, do his will and his word, spread positivity, never trust in evil or diabolical voodoo.
He is your keeper and shade at your right hand, you shall not be moved.
You, me, and your mother need to put him on the highest pedestal.
Let us be in his Word and do what pleases him so we are not removed.
Learn to listen more than you speak, learn to read the room and be careful with those you trust.
Avoid people who smile in front of you and then stab you behind your back.
Don't be deceived by looks or bodily beauty because like old iron they will fade away and rust.
Your father is a man of focus and an intentional one.
I've written two letters to your mother but this is for you four.
I felt the urge to build and write something for you, a thing you'll cherish even before you are born.
First of all before I tell you the rest, I want you all to have the mindset of Oliver Twist—I want you all to always want more.
More of the good stuff, the best of what life has to offer, I can't wait to meet you all and put you on some principles before I am gone.
Learn to have the mind of a hustler, never give up or slack.
Never lose focus, increase your knowledge and wisdom don't be an empty vessel be intellectually robust.
As for relationships I'm not the type of father to dictate life to you.
I'll be the most neutral one and I would be very open-minded.
Keep friends, only those who will enlarge you.
I wished I learned that earlier and I don't want you to make that mistake too.
As for relationships, yes the romantic ones, calm down don't be pressured, I know the hormones and pheromones are rising. I'm glad I controlled mine cause only God knows where my story would have ended.
Don't live recklessly, stay away from strong drink and hard drugs.
Those things mar you and ruin your life, they sweep your potential under the rug.
Don't gamble, don't bet, those things are quick gain and what comes quickly doesn't last long before you know you're searching again.
Have priorities, never miss opportunities cause they only come once or twice, they're like scarce commodities.
Never give anyone the most vulnerable part of you.
Never give room for weakness, your sanity is worth more than gold.
Don't give your heart to those that will smash it for free, learn to observe.
Observe people, a lot of people are faker than they seem, they just use you to step up like a tool, I'm speaking from experience, they've done it to me too.
Be very productive, strong and bold.
Learn to keep your personal life to yourself, learn to be reserved.
Don't give up, Omo Akin do as I've said to you in the letter—do as you are told.
You will all get what you've worked for with grace and favour—you will get it, all you deserve.
Love, your father AKINTOLA-DANIELS M.S
