Don’t listen to advice, rather pay attention to your inner self-Okyeame Kwame to the youth

Ghanaian rapper, Okyeame Kwame has advised young people to desist from following every single advice so their  life is not restricted. 

In a recent appearance on Joy Prime TV, the ‘Woso’ hit maker insisted that the youth of today should stop listening to advice that will not change their lives in the future.

“Don’t listen to advice. I beg you, young people. Because after listening to advice over the years, look at where we are.

“What I am saying is nothing new. If you pay attention, if you meditate on your thoughts you will see that what I am saying is what you know already,” he noted.

According to Okyeame Kwame, people have two voices in their heads: the voice of their body and the voice of God or the spirit. It is always better to listen to the voice of God.

“The voice of the body wants you to overeat, it wants you to be lazy, it wants you to cheat your boss, it wants you to cut corners, it wants you to do all the things that you must do as quickly as possible without a lot of effort. And the voice of God in you wants you to love, it wants you to meet the right people, it wants you to sacrifice, it wants you to pummel your body, it wants you to be the boss over your body so that you can behave like Christ, or Mohammed or that good guy that you want to be like. Listen to that voice of God.”

He added; “most of the people who advise you are afraid for you. You want to be a rapper but your parents say no become a doctor. They are afraid that if you become a rapper you will amount to nothing. Look at me, I think I have become something. Sarkodie, look at M.anifest, they are all rappers, they have wives, they are living their lives and they are a good source of inspiration in the society,” he said.

The ‘Made in Ghana’ ambassador urged young people to pay attention to the encouraging messages coming from their spirit rather than assuming that voice will direct them in whatever they do.
