We'll Decide Later

Hello, my lovely readers! I hope you're all well and being your best selves. I'm just popping in briefly to announce that I will be taking a break from blogging for now. That's because I'm having to do a considerable amount of preparing, including travelling, as my 'major life event' draws closer. Couple that with my current lack of a laptop and you'll see that I cannot realistically deliver on posting daily for now. Sad. This isn't to say that I won't be posting at all: far from it! I have loved writing these blogs and I look forward to coming back to writing when my circumstances are a bit more stable. Thanks for sticking around! My next post will probably be on Monday (3 days from now). Until then, be well, drink water, wash your hands and do good things. PS: Immense thanks for your comments on my last blog! I asked and you gave. Mindblown! Toodles! 

The curious thing about consistency is that it must be maintained sequentially or run the risk of being broken. To be consistent, you have to be consistent. I haven't written a blog post every single day like I initially said I would, and it's been conflicting for me to decide between establishing a realistic writing routine or just powering through my initial declaration regardless of feasibility. My unnecessarily vague "technical difficulties" is just my laptop having packed up on me and my struggling with my writing commitment. Also, I'm in the middle of a major life event right now, which is which I can't write on the weekends since that's really the only free time I have. The very great thing about this entire exercise is that it has been a great activity in discipline and consistency. It's only been about 2 weeks but I feel the good habit muscles getting stronger already. And the effect ripples into other areas of my life. It's great. Remembe...

Hello, my dear readers! I missed the past 2 days of blogging. It's because it was the weekend. What I have resolved to do is not blog on the weekend for the foreseeable future. That's because I'm still experiencing technical difficulties (I haven't yet decided if I want to keep obnoxiously calling it that or just tell you what it is but it's connected to a bigger issue so this will do for now). The other reason is that I'm genuinely gonna be busy until the end of the year, as silly an excuse as I realise that seems. So, where are we? I think we're due for an update. It's been about 2 weeks since I made the commitment to daily journalling and I'll tell you that I've seen improvement already.  I am feeling more clear-headed, the 'flow' of writing is coming easier, ideas are flowing (that hasn't really been an issue) and I am developing the muscles needed to see them to fruition. It's rapturous! As a matter of fact, I'm also bett...

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. Acts 3:7 KJV His feet and ankle bones receives strength only after pressure was placed on them. Some might say that things had 'gone bad' but at the last possible moment the Lord infused strength into his feet and ankles. God came through in the eleventh hour as He is prone to do. What that says is that we should be truly committed to our faith, ready to hold on to the end. A lot of us start out in faith but don't endure in faith. We have faith in the beginning but then we're beset with a few hindrances and all of a sudden, we're considering other options. We must be like Abraham, ready to pierce his son through the heart in faith toward God. We have to have extreme faith, no Plan B. We must trust Him unreservedly. Then will we see the miracle of God astonish our situation and turn all our tears into triumphs, erasing the memory of the temporary hardship...

You know why beach naps are so great? The polarising effects of cool wind and warm sun exposure does wonderfully relaxing things to the body. In much the same way, when we go through adverse times, the piss-cocktail inadvertently brings out the best in us if we let it. Don’t be so scared of adverse times. (some of my best naps have been taken on beaches and I will be a beach nap advocate until my last) Now to the main topic Inasmuch as we live in a capitalist society, we might as well draw a leaf from America's book. Americans, and therefore America as a whole, are not shy about presenting themselves to everyone else. They think they've got something great and they want you to think and see it too. One wonders if they ever entertain the idea that you might not be interested. They just create and show. That's been one of their greatest differentiations as a nation, as well as the uninhibited manner in which they 'show'. They are 'obviously American'. I'm ...

  Today is almost gone but guess who's checking in. Yay for progress! This entry is coming in late and will be brief but that's because I've had a freaking busy day and this is the first free moments I've had. But you know what's a definite sign on progress to me? When I remembered that today's entry hadn't been made, I didn't resort to excuses or decide to skip today on the valid reason that I don't want to put out a subpar entry. Instead, I took a breath, remembered why I decided to start this in the first place, and recalled the commitment I made to myself regarding consistency. So I got up, padded barefoot across the cold bare tiles, got my computer, and here we are! I cheers to that! Well done me. Mettle is tested in adversity, and I'll say I passed today's test! Lesson learnt: the timing and circumstances may not be right but you can still do everything within your power. That's your choice, that's your will and that's your ...
