The Four Greatest Teenage Tools

                                                                                                                                  My mind,
                                                                                                                                  The depth of my brain,
                                                                                                                                  This very minute.

 My Dear Younger Me,
                                     How da do? there is something very interesting I have to tell you. I just want  you to pay close attention to the details.
Calmness and peace brings to my study table in a very lonely room but filled with life.Like, life seems to radiate from me to the whole room. Beauty has been appreciated and the reward is received. It is time I write to my younger me, and tell him the facts that seems to be so common, yet so rare.
  These past few years of mine which to you are your future years, I've watched us live life on the edge, being the procrastinator, the "Yes-man" and the lazy slug all in one. I have seen you think of the exceptional things you are planning to do but as I write here, my mind is void of answers. I have seen the project unfinished, the ideas unthought, laundry undone, meal uncooked, promises broken, obligations of which there was no devotion to, and love unshared. I've thought of the past which to you is your future , how it has shaped my present and its outcome on my uncertain future.
   I'm ahead of you right here to tell you about things that have gone wrong and how you can make the necessary corrections before it also becomes too late for you.
  A friend of mine who will also become your friend, Abdulkareem once told me that the world was waiting for me to take up my little idea, fire it up with hardwork and drive it with the passion to make a difference and touch lives. Another friend of mine, also told me that there's more to life than ten billion dollars!
My younger me, everyday is a new day to stand up and run your own race, get the gift and move on with a re-branded self. I want to make you aware of the four greatest teenage tools which I discovered late but if you work with it from your own now, you won't have no cause to regret like me..
here they come:
1.) Self-awareness (the teen's tape-rule)
You have to stand apart from your self and observe your thoughts and actions. This will help you measure how far it is from where you start to where you presently are.

2.) Conscience (the teen's compass)
I underestimated the power of this one which you shouldn't try at all because it might equal a grievous mistake. You need to start feeling the feeling to know what is right and what is wrong. In us lies a great fount of wisdom.This tool helps you form very well the concentric circles of life. Your values, your beliefs, your expectations and finally your actions.


3.) Imagination (the teen's painting set)
My younger Me, you need to start envisioning new possibilities, broadening your horizon of knowledge and widening the circle of your experience and friends. Imagine positively and dare to do what you think. You have to create your own style and fully establish your uniqueness.

4.) Will-power (the teen's hammer)
You have to hit the nail on the head when making your decisions and sticking to the plan. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. the spirit is willing because you possess will-power. This tool will give you the ability to choose wisely and be firm with your core. life is all about choices.

Simple as it sounds, they are the greatest tools you can ever think of . Three can't work if one is absent. Try it in everything you do. Remember, little steps,. . ., giant strides. Big things start small. but keep to what you do with a clean heart. your duty is to your heart. Changing the world requires you changing yourself first! This is simple. This is bare. This is pure. You are the Winning Teen!
