Sometimes we get all charged up, ready to make all pending project done, and then a little sway just get us off track and we become reluctant, lazy, and unwilling to make effort toward so many things.
We then begin to live lazily.
Situations like this are bound to happen but how we approach them determines how fast we get out of them.
It was the beginning of a new semester I had all planned, ready to barge all As in my courses,
and get my next six months planned figured, in the next four months max, the semester would be over and I will get to do the next thing on my agenda.
All that was needed was to complete this semester as it was the second semester and get ready to move to the next level in school.
Gradually, I was close to graduating from school only for the government and the body governing schools in my country to disagree with the payment of lecturers and a strike was the only way to get the federal government's attention pay up.
The school went for a two weeks warning strike to see the response of the federal government but no response was made and an additional one month was added to the strike.
I was disappointed, a whole one month at home doing nothing other than waking up every morning hoping for the strike to be called off.
All through these days, I was aimless and unwilling to make any effort as I thought I got them all planned only for a strike I never saw coming to disrupt my plans
My charged-up spirit was drained, it was like the hope of graduating soon has been extended and I have no power over it all I can do is just hope for it to be called off.
I became tired of everything, I could not work all because of starting a job today and then the strike get called off the next day.
I became lazy and had no interest in anything the habit got deep into me when the strike was two months and all just seemed vague, the hope of graduating soon, the hope of resuming soon and all.
And then the thought of making dreams outside the school wall came to me and got me up every morning and with that, I indulge in reading and surfing things online about online jobs rather than sitting home all day, who knows how many months the strike would last.
I broke the habit of been lazy to do things and I got fixed up in learning and acquiring knowledge, this got me up every day and help over the habit of living aimlessly
I became charged up again and live every day trying to get things done.
Sometimes all we need is to think from another angle and we get back on track.
