Stressed Saturday joins Sunday
I was able to beat the odds Saturday before last and give out an article despite the stress. Ok, for yesterday it was a different issue entirely. After stretching myself both physically and mentally, I had to take a break. I heard myself saying, Dani take a break and we will continue tomorrow. That little advice can mean a lot, that was actually not laziness. I know what I had to pass through during the last few days of the week and indeed the stress level was already high.
I was planning of writing a continuity article on the issue of high tariffs that Network providers have given out to Nigerian citizens and how this can affect business. I wasn't able to do that yesterday. How about today? No, I will keep that for the next day, let's talk about Saturday's Sunday. I don't know how you understand the English. I needed to keep going very early this morning. I have to be in church very early . You should really know why I needed to halt. It was not just writing alone, there were other things I had to fold up in the process.

The idea is, I wanted my Saturday to birth a good Sunday and how will I achieve this if I do not cool off early enough? I had some responsibilities to keep up in church very early. If I sleep late, I may likely wake up late. How about my alarm? Forget that guy, of course he can't beat me when I fail to wake. I am speaking from experience. At times it is me that even wakes up late to ask my alarm, did you even ring at all? Why did you not ring louder? Hahahaha, we go again. When you've exhausted yourself, even your body is ignorant to respond. I could remember the day I woke up to turn off my alarm and it seems it was just a dream.
At some point, we need to halt, take a break, make sure hustling doesn't kill you before your time. This volatile money condition is in no way helping things. I mean you have to be here and there to be able to secure money that gases out as if it is nothing. What's the next idea, keep getting more and when employed or self employed, you know you are in a workaholic lane in the process. I have decided to give some quality time more to my creator this year. It's just a personal decision. I keep on saying spiritual engagement is a choice, don't be forced.
I am happy I was able to meet up with service today that early although I still went late in some minutes ( I know, lateness is lateness. God have mercy on us). You never can tell who is relying on you until you show up. Church aside, it happens everywhere; our workplaces, families and communities. People will draw strength from your consistency. As I said, showing up in church to me is another way of encouraging someone else. There was a day I showed up to do a particular activity and to a point someone else was challenged to join and do so.

When you realize a lot of people are looking up to you, there will be no dulling. I am not talking about eye service here. I once told a friend that I show up to get involved in church activities not actually because I lack what to do. It is ALL about a level of understanding that I have to return appreciation to the one who created me. Writing yesterday was a means of keeping my consistency and also a chance of earning some dollars. There were other things I also halted which would have generated some bucks that same yesterday. I had to decline all this so I wouldn't miss out on the service in the process.
To conclude, let me add, I am not trying to brag about my commitment here. No, all I am saying is, we should try our best to give quality to our maker ( for those who are in the faith). life can be like a glimpse and you realize it's not your over hustling that is sustaining you. Enjoying divine health is a privilege. Do you know how much it would cost you to keep up with that? Trust me that extra time you've decided to keep for yourself wouldn't be enough to pay such bills. Hoping you have a wonderful week.
