Hello my wonderful hivers, I'm so much happy to have you in this space and you are welcome to my blog.
True friends around us are the mirror we don't have, sometimes it is very important and of good to hear from them, because only a good friend will tell you the truth no matter how bitter it is.

When I was growing up I love to be the head or probably be a leader, in most of my organization as a kid or child I was the leader, from church to school, social games clubs and brigade association. So I kept moving this way, and same extend to my secondary school time, were I was the class monitor for Junior secondary school 1 to senior secondary school 2, then during the last term I became the school senior prefect, that made me to be respected and feel on top.
After everything, and training other things, I landed to nursing school and I continue the leadership life I contested to be the course representative but then my opponent won me, won we continue the struggle and I contested for Mr. SONAM and won so, after the whole thing there, I left the school to another school, where I contested and won the Mr. OSOMA and wow leadership is something that can move you to a point where you can't imagine, so from there I migrate to run for Director of Socials in the students union Government, I won and was happy hehehe 😂😹 but then I don't know that people are seeing the other aspects of me that are invisible to me( My Love For Power). Then after which our tenure finished and we were about to conduct another election I was appointed to be the electoral chairman and after everything it was a successful one, do you know that have to contest for the kingship position in my school and to a certain point some friends mate me and said leave this position "you too like power" honestly speaking I felt bad but never gave it a deep thought, I moved on withy plans, was elected and coronated as the new IGWE of my institution. But then some friends were happy and some wasn't happy at all, although it was I good thing.Some in a discussion, one of my friends said, he can't predict me but when it get to power that he can predict me to the very last, Omo 🤦 this really touched me because one thing people say about me is I'm unpredictable so when he said that I have to then recheck myself, I went back to my drawing board and mirror then I asked myself why this so much love for Power.
So, immediately there was a next coming national convention for students nurses and Midwives so everyone was expecting me to come out and contest but then I discipline my self not to contest for something, at the end I never run for anything and people were so much happy with me, some of my friends returned back to me and said you have proven to us that you have goals and not just a love of power, I smile and we all had good time once more.
Sometimes in life people around us are the mirror we don't have only when they are true friends of yours.

The quest for power and higher positions in life can be overwhelming sometimes and can cause one to forget what he came to achieve in that space. Power is a good thing but I would advise anyone including you not to be deceived by it. Thanks for sharing this helpful article of yours and am happy you did the right thing by not contesting again.
Thanks so much brother man. I really appreciate
