Consistently Inconsistent

-

 I’m sure you’re wondering why I gave this article the title, but as a matter of fact, that has been the summary of my life lately. I mean, since my final year in school (or even before then), I became nonchallant about some things I once considered vital in my life. Suddenly, I didn’t feel moved to do all those important things I used to do. Not because they were bad, they weren’t. I mean, I considered them vital for my self development. So, why did I stop doing those things? I had no idea either. 

Once upon a time, I made a conscious effort to post on this blog but that changed. I thought my academics came first and I didn’t need distraction. That was actually an excuse for the laziness I developed because I always found myself writing other contents, seeing movies when I was supposed to combat distractions. To be honest, a part of me was missing-one I loved a lot but I was too blind to see that.

The truth is this: if you don’t make daily conscious efforts to get things done, a day will come when those things become part of your past. You have to get up and tell yourself what you will do that day and stick by it. Leave your comfort zone because staying in it won’t make things any better. I did not realize this early enough. But it’s never too late. Or is it? So here’s an admonition to everyone out there who face similar situation like I did: Stand up and do what you always love to do. Get things right with yourself. Do what you enjoy and what makes you happy. Always remember that being consistent and inconsistent both start a day and becomes a habit. Prioritize consistency and you will be glad you did.

    This is really inspiring especially now that I've been doing a lot of procrastinating instead of being consistent with what I love doing

    I like this. Fact is you become what you do regularly. We need focus and self consistency, ability to see things through.
    Focus, focus, focus. Thank you

    Thanks for the timely reminder. We can never become or achieve anything in life without the self discipline of consistency. Small consistent drops of water make an ocean. Therefore, let's break out and wake up from every bouts of inconsistency and stand up for consistency to achieve our glorious destiny, yes, we can. More grace

Youthful Lust

-

 The phrase “Youthful Lusts” means different things to different people and it encompasses different areas. A simple definition of the term is an unusually intense, unbridled desire or craving for something which often occurs among people who are young and not yet mature. Youthful lusts do not only border on sexual desires or impure thoughts or ideas but also in the lust for money and the intense desire for power,fame and recognition.    Sexual desires are common among youths of today because we cannot help being attracted to someone but when we begin to fill our hearts with immoral thoughts about the person (most often one of the opposite sex) we are attracted to, allowing these lustful thoughts and ideas to take up space in our hearts, it is sin. It is also a known fact that most times, the spirit is willing to ignore these lusts but the flesh is often weak. Win the battle of sex and you win the battle of life.  Like the common eye defect, myopia, most ...

Garment of praise for heaviness

Something happened some days back - the results of an exam I wrote several months ago came out and I was short of words. My emotions were mixed -not happy, not sad, but something in between. What I got was totally different from what I expected - I expected grades extremely higher, but what I saw was ‘low’ in my eyes. Not necessarily low, but I wasn’t content with what I saw. When I did a rundown of all the grades, I had nothing to say than ‘thank you Jesus’. Some things that would have drastically tarnished my career  lifted me up. I saw ‘A’ in those courses. My joy knew no bounds because I remembered the battle I had with God to give me an ‘A’ or nothing else. I prayed earnestly especially for those courses and I had a pleasant and delightful surprise. My mood changed again. I mean, the devil was in action. He took my mind straight to the course I wasn’t happy with and all I could feel for approximately the next 30 minutes was sorrow. I lamented severely, spoke to my parents and ...

Tit for tat?

  Have you ever been in a situation where someone treats you like trash? I don’t mean a one time thing. I’m talking about a constant habit. This person has no regard for you, your emotions, your well-being and everything that has to do with you. To the person, it’s like you’re a nobody and your viewpoints have no worth. To be honest, it’s not surprising and it necessarily isn’t your fault that the person behaves the way he/she does. You try as much as possible to be a good person that you are, only to be treated like crap. You wonder why the person can’t reciprocate the kindness you show but your thoughts do not count because they can’t influence the person’s nature. Neglected and hurt, you wonder what can be done to change the way things are. Sometimes, you may even contemplate on dancing to the tunes of the person in question, but to be honest, that is not the best way to resolve things. What then do you do when you’re in this situation? Do you keep on being nice? Do you give up ...
