Today is my birthday. 🎈
This year, it arrives quietly. With a different weight.
Just last week, I lost my dad. This birthday is about choosing gratitude even when life hurts. About trusting God in seasons I don’t fully understand.
I’m thankful for life itself.
Thankful for God’s blessings.
Thankful for the journey so far.
Thankful for strength I didn’t know I had.
Thankful for the peace despite circumstances.
In everything, give thanks.
So today, I give thanks for life!

To the greatest man I have ever known, my father. 🕊️
Last week, my dad, Professor John Ade Ajayi, passed away after months of fighting cancer.
My father was the First Professor Of Metallurgical & Mineral Engineering in Nigeria. Achieved so much, yet you would never know it from the humility with which he carried himself.
Writing this still feels unreal, but gratitude sits right beside the pain.
Years ago, people often asked how I kept achieving so much at a young age. The answer was simple then, and even clearer now. It was the drive of my father.
He was larger than life, yet deeply humble.
Brilliant, yet simple.
Firm, yet loving.
Wherever I travelled, whenever people realised I was his son, his first born, they told me stories. Stories of how he taught them, encouraged them, opened doors for them, believed in them. Thousands upon thousands of lives were impacted by him.
He was a teacher of leaders and a servant of God. He was generous and selfless in ways that can’t be fully captured in words. Even in his final days, his concern was still about others.
He believed deeply in excellence. His philosophy was simple and firm: “It’s either the best or nothing.”
He gave me my special name, IseunifeOluwa, which means “the loving kindness of the Lord.” I now understand that name was first a reflection of who he was.
One of his quotes that keeps returning to me is this: “The longest way to success is shortcuts.” Silence in the face of wrong never aligned with his convictions. He would always say, “There is no substitute for integrity.”
He lived what he believed. His life was structured around his values, and he carried them with clarity and conviction. Many people move through life, my dad lived with purpose.
You have fought the good fight,
You have finished the race,
You have kept the faith.
Your life is a legacy that time cannot erase!

1. Start by realizing that people’s opinions are too unstable to be your foundation. One moment you’re praised, the next you’re questioned. Their opinions, fickle at best.
2. Understand that your worth can’t be tied to how many people approve of you, follow you, lean to your standards, or recognize you. Those things are fleeting. If your confidence rises and falls with applause, you’ll never find peace.
3. Pursue a quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are, what you stand for, and what you bring to the table, no matter who is clapping or not.
4. Learn to validate yourself through progress and not praise. Through discipline and not display. The need to constantly display and seek people's praise will drain you faster than genuinely growing will.
When you stop chasing constant validation, you start focusing on real growth. And that’s when you become truly unshakable.

You can stop outsourcing your self-worth to validation.

1. Invest in emojis, as they will carry 80% of your emotions.
2. Pray your boo isnt practicing ‘local’ dating while you are doing LDR.
3. Save money for data. In fact start calling MTN and Airtel your in-laws.
4. Learn to argue on WhatsApp without blocking each other. Good luck!!!

13th month? Applicable only to Naija I supposed? Yeah, there’s December bonus but not obligatory and surely far less than salary.
SB@seyedele
