Dear Friend,
I want to share something that can shape your future in profound ways: “Don’t choose comfort at the age of labour so that you won’t labour at the age of comfort.” This is more than just a saying—it’s a guiding principle for living a life of purpose and preparation.
Right now, you’re in the age of labour—a season where your energy, time, and opportunities are at their peak. This is the time to work hard, acquire skills, and lay a solid foundation for your future. Choosing to prioritize comfort now—whether through laziness, procrastination, or neglecting responsibilities—may feel good in the moment, but it will cost you dearly in the years to come.
When you reach the age of comfort, ideally, you should be enjoying the fruits of your hard work: financial security, peace of mind, and a legacy you can be proud of. But if you fail to invest your effort now, this season may instead become a time of struggle and regret, as you’re forced to do what you should have done earlier—often with less strength and fewer opportunities.
So, I encourage you: embrace hard work, discipline, and sacrifice today. Focus on your goals, prioritize what truly matters, and resist the temptation to settle for temporary ease. Remember, the seeds you sow now will determine the harvest you reap tomorrow.
Your future self will thank you for the decisions and investments you make today. The comfort you dream of is possible—but only if you put in the work now.
Stay strong and purposeful,
Wale-Rich Oladunjoye
