You know writing is an underestimated art.
It's as if you will be painting colors of black and white into the imaginations of people with no idea of how they will conceptualize your art.
For a long time I've been writing based on spikes of energy and at times I leave an article hanging for even more than weeks just frankly because the thought of the writing processes weakens me and I don't want to lie, it is at times quite draining! And despite that you might love writing so much, there are times when you just actually don't know what to say even though you have a lot to say! How ironic!
However! I haven't quite worked out the plan yet of how we will conquer the sudden backslide I had endeavored in but I decided first off - the moment I realized I'm deliberately letting something that saved me die, something that gives me joy and relief die just because I rely on spikes of energy, that I will be authentic so much that it will be as if my blog is a diary.

Well with that out of the way let me take this opportunity to express my sincerest apologies to my readers - I know! You can call me out for it! I take criticism for it builds me, so go ahead, leave your comments below (just don't cuss) and tell me how you feel! I know I haven't been consistent and I owe it to allowing myself to be lazy, unfocused, not bothered and not disciplined! I am owning up to my flaws because this post is about owning up! So I'll start by example and own up to my flaws - when it comes to this of course!
I am sure now you can relate with me, that there are things you know you were supposed to do and didn't do or are supposed to do but you don't do! Among other things I'm sure you can relate even more with me that laziness is a disease but bad habits are dangerous! They lead you to a death trap of overthinking, anxiety, stress and possibly even depression. We talk ourselves out of things we know are good for us - things we know we are supposed to do then end up at times beating ourselves up about it, and some people go on to even blame other people, and other factors as to why they aren't doing the things they know they are supposed to do!
But let me just ask you:
Who exactly are you fooling?
Owning up to ones mistakes is not easy, it barely is actually because most of us have developed a habit of blaming other people and other factors, when we know somehow what happened or is happening - has our contributing factor in it. The more you realize that you steer your own boat into the direction you want it to go, the more you will have motivation to work on your life and the things around you as well.
Own up! Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others for what happens to you! Or has happened to you! As this year unfolds make it a habit to not blame and take responsibility! A shift of the mind-set is what we all need and at times it may not even make sense to us then but our job is to make sense out of the senseless situations and to carry on!
So hey, do that thing you love doing the most! Go to church, talk to the people you want to talk to, break those barriers and bad habits you know are holding you back from what you want to achieve!
Take responsibility and stop blaming anyone or anything. Let it be your mantra for a month and focus on doing what are supposed to be doing! Until you realize that most of the things that happen to you are of your own doing because you choose not to do anything, you won't be able to do anything about anything, it's a paradox really how life is - so it's your fault that your spiritual life isn't great! It's your fault that your relationships sour - what is it that you don't do that you are meant to do?
Embark on a journey of Self Reflection during this upcoming month of October 2019
1. Write down the things you were meant to do, to have achieved your goals for the year that you did not do
2. Write down the things you want to do and how you are going to do them
3. Review on these items daily/weekly/monthly
4. Give yourself credit
5. Carry On!!
I hope we will move together throughout this journey and constantly work on ourselves as each day passes, and most importantly that we get the strength we need for I know at times it is not easy! I am beginning to be consistent with the blog and so the schedule will be as below:
I will post once in every 2 weeks on the days of Wednesday (New Post) and Sunday (Guest Blog) that is for every week that I post, the next week I will not.
If you like what I do please cheer me up by commenting below and if you do not also comment and tell me why! Like I said I take criticism very well for it builds!
