They say marriage slows down your growth but I grew up seeing my parents carry each other through everyday and doing the best for themselves in the same marriage some people advise us to stay away from today. Thanks to God for giving me the best of parents I could have. My parents are the kind of parents that push you to dream big and they support all your dreams no matter how unachievable they may seem. You’d be surprised by the kind of things I’ve been able to achieve in my life all because these two beautiful people believed in me and kept pushing me to the right path.
Now, I’m much older and more responsible for myself so the dynamics are a little different now. However, I never hesitate to reach out to my friends and family in any situation I find myself. Life so far has been one of learning and growth and you know those things our parents tell us we will grow to understand, they didn’t lie. I remember not knowing my way around my own life when I first competed university . I thought it was as easy as they made it look on social media until I experienced it first hand. Adulthood is no joke.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt so far in this adulting stage of mine, it’s the fact that time waits for no one. The fact that you’re sad today doesn’t mean life should stop going on . Life would go on just as normal as it should and you’d be left slacking behind. It’s easy to procrastinate as an adult. You look at the pile of work you have to do and just decide that tomorrow is the best day to do it. Tomorrow will turn to three weeks time and we will still be at the same place.
So, I found a way to make my life productive and for me, it’s more about the difficult tasks. I set a target for myself which is complete my lost difficult tasks first in the day and then, there’s a reward for that. As for the easy tasks, I could do them when I’m not feeling it because I wouldn’t require much energy. This has helped me be more productive in my daily life and I’m able to keep things on track each and everyday. I understand that most people battle with procrastination on the daily basis but today I want tell you that the battle is you and your mentality. Kill the laziness and get back on track because all the time you spend bed rotting is time someone is using to upgrade their lives.
all images belong to me.
