Hello ladies!
How are you all doing today? Do you have a lot of interesting things going on for you right now like I do?
Here is to share with you what truth I tell myself and how it has been helping me get things done.
First of all, let me quickly repeat the cliche saying that we can be and do whatever we set our minds to. Achieving that daily goal or long-term plan is really just about what truth we tell ourselves.
I woke up to the realization that I should stop wasting the divine grace upon me. I feel like everything I need or would ever want has been made available and only awaits my embrace. If I want it, I should go ahead and get it. There are no impossibilities and I should have no limitations.
However, as a wife, mom and a woman there are a number of things that sometimes try to limit my daily goals. Below is a list of them and how I go beyond these limitations.
A. Sleep
My mind and strong will can't be contained 100% by my human body. As much as the self limiting part of me wants to give me all the reasons to sleep all night and a few hours during the day, I tell myself this truth. " If you don't do it, it won't get itself done. It will only end up as yet another wish." With this, I get up and grind. I tell myself to measure up so that I can observe my body's sleep time.
Over the years, I observed that I tend to feel sleepy between the hours of 9:30am to 11:30am in the day. And no matter what I do, I need to observe the 3am to 5:30am night sleep if I don't want to subscribe to headache and fuzziness during the day. Sleeping at any other time of the day is luxury to me and has to be earned after achieving some or all of my daily goals. I don't know if I'll adjust this in the future but for now this is what I must do to have the time to study, blog and nurse my baby.
B. Money
This one limitation actually pricks my tear glands sometimes. One of my prayers daily is to be useful to myself, my child, husband, siblings, parents and community at large. To be able to support them when they call on me without giving excuses. To be that light and streak of hope in their lives always. I had thought I'd be fully able to do this immediately after school but 4years down the line, I'm still figuring out how to meet my needs financially. It makes me feel bad sometimes. But like always, here is the truth I tell myself "Invest in personal development. I need to help myself first so that I can help my loved ones. Money is a mere figure and I will have it."
C.Too many 'can do' things
"Focus, Faith. Focus. You'll have all the time in the world to do these other things you also want to try but for now pick the path of responsibility. Learn coding, work on your contents and put your money issues aside" This is the truth I tell myself.
As a DIY person, a lot of things call for me. Things I know I can do. Things I know I will also love doing. But to achieve success, consistency is key. The bad thing about doing all things at the same time is you don't ever go too far and this is the mistake I made in the last 2 years after I resigned at my last corporate job. However, I don't beat myself about the length of time it took me to actually reach my current mindset and career path because all of my trying, adventures, fails and lessons have brought me this far. Though there is no money to show for it, I am indeed very proud of my journey. I absolutely have faith in the process but I'm focusing on coding and creating contents going forward.
Imagination is a huge thing for me. I am conscious of those things I had in my imaginations that actually manifested before my very eyes. I have also recognized that my mind has the natural tendency of imagining the worst things if not called to order. This is not a limitation but a gift to be well channeled and utilized. A gift that nature has given every single one of us. And I want to encourage us to use it, friends! We'll be amazed at how far we'll go.
Thank you for reading.
