The Art Of Heart – Osasu Oviawe

Hobbies

July 29, 2026 No Comments

What do you get from winning?
Loneliness, no matter how full the room is.
Because winning makes you seek more.

What do you get from losing?
Companionship, no matter how empty the room is.
Because losing makes you seek enough.

By all means, drive to win, but also find spaces where losing is fine. Some call it hobbies.

A Paradox

July 28, 2026 No Comments

Urgency is required if you want it to start.

Patience is required if you don’t want it to end.

Applies to most things.

Superpower

My superpower in investing: I don’t flinch.

I can wait out any antithesis to my positioning.

Liquidity

July 26, 2026 No Comments

In finance, liquidity builds resilience, and debt erodes it.

Going into high-risk investments with high debt is an up-risking strategy with low upside and high downside.

Going into high-risk investments with high liquidity is a de-risking strategy with huge upside and low downside.

Liquidity should dictate risk appetite, but in reality, it is inversed: those with low liquidity buy lottery tickets, and those with high liquidity buy bonds.

Liquidity, not age, should be the leading criterion for risk appetite.

Treasure Hunt

If money is the root of all evil, then one way to find it is to uproot evil.

A solution to most of Nigeria’s economic issues.

Watching someone you love battle through ill health crushes the soul like nothing else.

If a kiss could take away the discomfort, you would offer the longest one.

But alas, every illness must run its course, and with it, your emotions.

Until it passes, we plant a smile on our lips and a prayer in our hearts.

Time

July 23, 2026 No Comments

The earth’s rise and fall are shaped by the passing of water, wind, and fire.

We focus on time because it is the most observable vehicle for all three.

Time actually does nothing.

Presence

The best thing you can do for those you love is be here for as long as you can.

Presence is the real gift of love.

Insecurities

July 21, 2026 No Comments

Everyone has an insecurity about their body.

Our mind’s eye is more focused on it than all the other amazing parts of our being.

It gets worse when the tongues around us amplify it.

But our insecurity is a part of our beauty, and changing it turns the shame we felt in having it into a fear of the after-effects of removing it.

If you do not find beauty in spite of your insecurity, you will not find it without it.

It Will Pass

July 20, 2026 No Comments

The hardest part is just before the end.

If it gets really hard, it’s about to end.

Let the hard part pass.

It will pass.
