I\u2019m really doing this guys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Toke admitted that in her pursuit of success, she has missed out on numerous personal and social opportunities. She added:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere has been a lot of sacrifice too. I\u2019ve missed out on so much fun things happening but there\u2019ll always be time to turn up some more. Once I commit to something, I chase it with everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The media star also took the opportunity to share some valuable life lessons with her audience, particularly addressing those who are goal-oriented. She urged them to remain open to life\u2019s unpredictability and trust in divine timing.

She wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c3 years ago I moved to LA with the thought of becoming the next Nigerian to break into the world of acting out there, I was so sure it was the next move, started taking classes too.
