Do you have a plan for the day or you just go along with it as the day comes by?
You may be in school pursuing your degree, but do you even know why you are pursuing the degree?
Why are you going to work today?
Do you know what you are doing and why you are doing, what you are doing? 😢
Dear reader,
A few days ago, like I always do, I looked back at my life, this time, to check my patterns.
My patterns; what I do daily, how I spend my time. How I live my life etc. “Is there consistency in my actions, in every area of my life or am I just living life as it comes?”, I asked myself.
I embarked on this meditation as a result of how busy things got for me.
You Know all those Hollywood films where there’s a character playing the role of someone, who has a lot on His/her table and then all of a sudden, flips the table?
Ehen, na me be that.
It’s not African magic guys.
😂, just that, I didn’t have a table to flip, so, I flipped myself 😂.
I mean, I just realized that ah, wait o,” I’m always doing something “, moving from one thing to the other, but still, I felt, “disorganized”
Hmm.
Lol, I seemed very organized to most people, even to myself, but honestly yeah, I was just doing things as they came; busy.
If this comes, I would do to clear my mind. I was doing it not because I knew why but,” just let me do and be going.”
Let’s clear the table and go home to rest 😄.
So yes, I was still praying, I was still attending classes, writing, taking care of myself, etc.
The problem, however, was, “I lost sight of my why.”
I write this today with a clear purpose, and that is to tell you,” focus on your vision; your why, your reason for doing what you do.
Don’t be so fixed on your mission you forget the vision or vice versa. They have to work together.”
I began to do things as a result of being responsible and not being purposeful, instead.
I always believed once you have a vision, it’s more important to have a mission and focus on it. Implementation matters, after all.
I’ve come to realize, however, it’s not more important to have a mission.
Instead, it’s most important to hold the two (vision and mission) in perspective, as equally as possible.
So, we are in the 3rd month of the year, are we still going after those goals and dreams we had at the beginning of the year? If yes 👍, that’s great .
I bet it’s going great. You are living fully, right?
Now, please, as you are doing all these things, as you get busy and all of that, remember why you started it in the first place.
Go back and ask yourself, “why am I doing what I am doing?”
Don’t be busy and just be busy. Be careful not to occupy time, instead, maximize it. Utilize it.
An artist never forgets the image he tries to paint 🎨. Be it the image is in his mind or right in front of Him, he always has it in perspective while he draws.
If he loses sight of his image/ imagination, what happens? We get a painting not worthy of being called one. Or wait, what do you think will happen?
If you lose sight of your why today, it’s as good as working aimlessly. You will simply be disorderly organised , don’t be so busy, you forget the vision and hurt yourself in the process, thereby wasting time.
Today, as you go out, get to know your why, remember It and hold on to it.
Your vision and mission must work concurrently to create the best results.
Never detach them.
Best Regards,
Boye, Paulina Sharon.
