Filters of life
Each and everyone of us are unique in our own way. This is largely due to the fact that every single one of us, from birth, a filter of our own. A filter that is tailored to just us. A filter? What am I talking about? This filter refers to our internal(intrinsic) factors affecting us, such as gender, age, and our physical and psychological inclinations, as well as external factors such as culture, our immediate environment, families; basically our entire experiences we get when we are navigating through life. These make us unique.

I was born in Tamale, a developing city in Ghana. The internal and external factors affecting me (my filter) will definitely be different relative to someone born in Jakarta, Indonesia or Abuja, Nigeria. Let’s not even go that far, even someborn in the same neighbourhood as me might see life differently from me because our filters are different. Thus, what might seem a picture perfect day for might not necessarily resonate with you.
A picture perfect day
I have had plenty of bad days, a number of good days and and not soo many picture perfect days. A perfect day, for me, would be a day I am most productive. A day I meet all my goals/tasks I set for my self at the same time not stressing myself out. Evenings of a perfect day for me is usually marked with a quick sound sleep at the end.
To have a good day, I have to wake up early. Anywhere between 4:00 to 5:00am. I am quite the religious person, so I do a little prayer immediately after I wake up. I lay my troubles, wishes and aspirations onto the lord. There is no having a good day without a morning prayer for me.
The weather has to be right. Where I live (Tamale), the climate condition is usually hot and dry. So a little rain and a cloudy atmosphere usually sets the tone for a very delightful day.
I made mention earlier that a perfect day for me is one that I am most productive. A productive day is one a spent a considerable amount of time coding and learning how to code. Its true coding can be stressful but there is joy and a sense of accomplishment whenever you are able to execute your code and your program works. I would read a bit too. I am currently reading 48 laws of power by Robert Greene

Another thing that usually makes my day is when I get to watch a good movie or show. The most recent show I enjoyed was The Game of Thrones. I know its been out a while but watched it just recently. Honestly, I wish I never watched it so that I can watch it again😅.
As you might have deduced, I am not a very outdoorsy kind of guy but I do also enjoy the company of friends and family. On a good day, I’d meet up with friends, play some video games and have those deep, good conversations.
