You there ! Welcome back.
How was your day ? Well , mine hasn’t been bad soo far, preparing for my exams and all, can’t wait to be done !!
Hmm, why can’t i wait to be done tho ?🤔 Why can’t you wait to be done with that project , exam, or work ? Why?
Yeah , true , it’s mostly because it’s just draining physically, emotionally and mentally, literally! And is alot of stress 🤕! You know, ” no time ” to do what brings us pleasure; like sleep😪, go out with friends💑 , party 💃, watch a movie 🕶, go shopping 🛍, play games 🤖.All of that ! Now it just makes things worse, I could be doing All that and I’m here preparing for an exam , reading soo hard and after the exam it’s probably all gone , so what’s the point right ? What’s the point of investing soo much time , sleep , sacrificing that which brings pleasure only to find out at the end of the day it’s all gone . I mean do we actually remember these things we learn, after a long while .
I believe this; if we don’t put what we learn into action, into practice, we might as well be wasting our time already, I believe if we don’t practice what we learn , we are literally wasting time.
However, that’s not my reason for writing this. I write this for one reason; why waste time only to regret it in the long run ? Why rather sleep or party, or hang out with friends when you know deep within you it’s a waste of time, or it’s unnecessary as at that point in time.What are you doing today, that you’d say to yourself tomorrow, “why did you do that to yourself ” , “I wish I hadn’t done that”, “couldn’t you have just sacrificed?”.
I ask you , how much effort are you really putting in towards achieving your dream. It’s no longer about dreaming, it’s no longer about believing in the power of your dream , what are you doing to achieve that dream ! YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT DREAM IF YOU AREN’T WILLING AND GOING TO GO THROUGH PAIN !
I’m literally speaking to myself right now, I don’t know if this applies to you as well, but if I were to tell myself something every morning , a wake up alarm daily , a warning to stop wasting time , a cry out for help , I’d say this over and over and over again ; Sharon !( yes , get your name in there) Get to work ! What does it benefit you to sit and think, and literally watch others fulfill their dreams , perhaps even helping them and you are stuck, not because you can’t move but because you enjoy the comfort of today, where are you headed to ? What are you doing wrong ? How are you living ?
I say this to myself most times , ” it’s temporary pain for everlasting comfort ”
It’s time to awaken the warrior in YOU !
I don’t care how many times I try , haha, let’s not talk about failing when you’ve not even made an attempt. I don’t care how many times I try and stop, I’d keep on trying until I can look back and say to myself, ” thank you “. You should too😉.
Ready ?
Remember ! You are your greatest gift, you are your greatest treasure, you are your greatest upliftment, you are your greatest CHALLENGE , YOU can also be your greatest Limitation. Don’t forget that !
Get to work .
BOYE, Paulina Sharon
