'A MAN WITH A TOOTHACHE CANNOT BE IN LOVE'

'A MAN WITH A TOOTHACHE CANNOT BE IN LOVE'

Shakespeare once said, “a man with a toothache cannot be in love”.


Do you know why that is the case?


Do you understand what Shakespeare mean by that statement?


You may never understand unless you have had a toothache before.


When you have a toothache, the only thing that becomes the centre of your attention is that toothache.

Nothing else can get your attention, unless it’s about fixing your toothache.


Why am I sharing this with you?


Purpose must be your toothache in life.

It has to be the centre of your attention.


If you are not all about the purpose of God for your life in your every day choices, decisions and lifestyle, you’re living life wrong.

When a man lacks purpose he responds to the events of life as a circumstances instead of priorities.


This is why purposeful people find it easy to manage time and relationships because all they see is priorities, not events.


So, is purpose your toothache or something else?


I believe in you

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
