"Kunle, this is just a rough painting, I really don't think this is good enough for presentation" I quickly responded. "You really have no idea what you're talking about. This painting is a masterpiece already" Kunle responded. Really if there was something I appreciated about Kunle, is his ever encouraging spirit. Well if he really wanted to market me out there, then fine! I kind of liked the feeling though.

While it is true that moments of provocation may arise, it is equally important to process our thoughts before they become words. This requires intentionality. All it takes is a decision and a step, and it gets better from there. Now, let’s ...
