The Prodigal's Child

Lately, I have been…wait! Did I say lately? For a while now, I have been somewhat absent from this platform. The reason for that are many but among the top reasons was discouragement from not earning as expected on my articles. I felt like I had put in the work and it wasn’t paying off, and to me, that was like pouring water into a basket. My mistake.

I can say that I am back here now, and this is mostly due to they fact that I had found my courage and think that perhaps if I keep pouring the water into the basket, the water starts to rise in from under and I see the fruit of labour and maybe there is a big smile for me at the end of all this.

Needless to say that I had gone to see the rewards of hard work and consistency when I checked in on other users I was familiar with, and seeing that their resilience and consistency is paying off. Well, now that schools are on strike, I can say that I’ve got time on my hands, and what better way to spend it than with writing my thoughts and reading the world through other writer’s eyes.

Although, I have continued to keep track of my FPL, and it seems that the harder I try to catch up with those ahead, the further I drift away from the ultimate prize. It was all juicy when I joined in the last quarter of 2021, that was before KONRA decided to join the party. The strategy was setting short term goals such as gaining the most points 2 out of 4 weeks at least in a month. And also winning at least 1 manager of the month every 3 months.

But my strategies and planning have not met with luck. And not once have I been in top two manager of any month. I still have hope, and in the next two months left, I hope to at least finish top three in the log when the season ends. I will find so much pleasure in not winning any MOTM, but finishing top 3. Also, I still have 4 chips left, so those might come in handy in the coming game weeks.

I have decided to be more active and see what happens. I must say that it feels like I am starting afresh after a long break. It’s time how for business! My two point agenda includes:

• Publishing at least one article every two days

• Read and interact with at least twenty (20) articles a day.

With these two-point agenda, I hope to achieve the following goals I have set for the next one month:

• Gain 20+ new subscribers

• Have at least 2+ new sponsors

• Sponsor at least 2+ new users.

I hope with this decision, things take a new turn, and I hope to impact this community in anyway I can, thought my writing and input on other people’s articles
