I know I promised a BJ mashup of news post today but it seemed really pressing to me to share this post I did for DontDropTheMagazine.com a couple of weeks back. I hope you like it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Monday: The beginning. You are focused. The ideas look good. Ginger level=150%. You have been armed with a few motivational quotes and that Sunday sermon which you believe was particularly penned down for you… There is no going back now. You have probably posted a few pictures on Insta with the hashtags #OnlyYouCanSTopYou #SlowlyButSurely #GoGetter
- Tuesday: The beginners level frustration has just set in. You can hear whispers…maybe of competition or family and friends who are skeptical of your dream or plan or whatever. Perhaps it is you whispering to yourself; listing all the reasons why you cant get through with your objectives. But of course they are just whispers. Your voice of reasoning still has premium pitch. Acing this level is like the first level of candy crush. Insta Hashtag #IcanDoAllThingsThroughChrist #UnstoppableLikeThat2facealbum #WeMove
- Wednesday: The settings of your current treadmill have just been adjusted to steep. By now all the bible verses you highlighted on Sunday have been flung out the window. You remember those Tuesday whispers? Oh they have grown in decibels. Imagine having a toddler clang cymbals in your ears con.ti.nuous.ly. Now you get the picture. This is usually when the bulk of us hit reverse to the first day. The pressure here is intimidating. A better chunk of the ones who will go through are already bent, old and gray… only waiting to give up the ghost on Thursday. BBM display pictures with black backgrounds or the default image are the most popular for this day. Funnily, this is the last layer of earth to dig before hitting diamond. Hashtag for dropouts: #IfAtFirstYouDontSucceed #DustItAllUpAndTryAgain Hashtag for sticklers #WhatDoesntKillYouMakesYouStronger
- Thursday: A few more people will drop out of this race by this morning. They did hit diamond, but the process of refining is certainly not one they can or want to deal with. For some, it is financial outage; a very sad one because the spirit is willing but the pocket is not. Don’t get it twisted though. Ginger level for sticklers= what is a ginger? You have by now, decided to accept the clanging cymbals as being instrumental to your success in disguise. Pun Intended. You know it can only get better from here as it cannot get any worse. Trudging lifelessly holding onto one strand of hope, your hashtag if you even make it to Instagram will most likely be #itiswhatitis #quittersdontwin
- Friday: I chose to write it in Italics to help communicate the groove associated with this day. You wake up feeling very rejuvenated. You sha did not die. You pulled through and all of a sudden, all the missing pieces of your goal’s puzzle begin to surface and the picture begins to make some sense. Pheeew. Ginger level: 87%. Wednesday and Thursday have taught you not to give anything 100 lol. You already know what to do next to reach your desired level so you are a bit unruffled. The cymbal clanging baby is now tired and is even trying to lend a helping hand. By evening, there is a place for everything and everything in its place in your once disorganized closet of ideas, plan, goal or whatever. Very few things have been proven to give more pleasure than the feeling you have right now. #turndownforwhat #BabaGodNoni #NaGodwin
- Saturday: You have very little care in the world by this morning. Hungover from yesterday’s success, you are laid back as everything is on autopilot. Maybe a few tweaks here and there to make sure that your current cruise never ends. You came, You saw, You conquered. The quest has been tested, trusted and dusted. Your hashtags will experience a tinge of cockiness as you begin to quote some 50 cent. #IfICantDoItHomieItCantBeDone #WeUpInThisBinsh
- Sunday: New week, Fresh goals. You get all dolled up or all G’d up to church to go harvest some new propelling word for your new venture. Your ginger has now forgotten all rules and is back to 150% lool. #OnToTheNextOne #BabaGodPickUpThePhone.
Sometimes, you need to abort mission and go back to the drawing table. Sometimes you need consistency and discipline to see you through. Whatever the case maybe, obey your instincts…so long as it is not blabbing.
Before i drop my pen in the basket of love, (lmao) I have a liru question.
Plix, what day of the week are you on in your current quest or struggle? I am stuck on Wednesday. eeeeeppppp!!!
