It's weekend, let me gist you

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes maybe”.

–Napoleon Hill

Happy weekend everyone! How are you doing? Thank God the sponsorship block is back and I can see my sponsors again. I thought they were gone when I couldn't see most of them on my block but the issue has been rectified. Thanks to @gertu13 and @foryoubtc09 for renewing their sponsorships and to others, thank you always for your support.

It's the weekend and I want to tell you how the week has been for me. Yes, as usual, the week went glorious and I can't stop thanking God. The week started with me rehearsing the song to be recorded for the Hive Open Mic community. I didn't want to use my room but to change it. I had to beg a friend who gave me the key to her room while she was away. I made mistakes but in the end, it turned out to be good through the comments I received.

Sincerely, there are some environments you stay in that wouldn't help your growth. I remembered that sometime last year, I complained to Olasquare about the environment I am in. I can say it's kind of toxic for me because everything I do, to them, it's meaningless. They are these local people that can bring one down if you aren't careful.

Ola advised me to keep a distance. I shouldn't be around them too much but it shouldn't be too obvious too. Since then, I would be indoors, doing my thing and care less about what they say. Still, these people would tag me as being proud for not interacting with them. I used to explain how busy I am and with this, I try to be around them sometimes.

Those living here do not understand what creativity can be. They aren't even ready to learn or find something productive to do with their phones.

A friend argued with me one day that her phone's battery always lasts longer than mine. I smiled and asked what she uses her phone for? She said for calls and WhatsApp. I laughed because I wonder how someone would have an Android phone and the only thing she could use it for is to make calls and WhatsApp.

She is now comparing her phone with mine. I couldn't stop laughing because I asked her if she knew what I do with my phone every day. My battery also lasts but the activities I do with it drain it quickly. That was when she stopped talking.

This was the same lady that asked me what is the meaning of "being reserved". The answer I gave her was "Consult your Google. This is why you have a phone. Make your inquiry online first, then if you aren't understanding it, you can now ask someone".

This lady cannot go through the search button on Google. A few days ago, her phone developed a fault (her phone wasn't ringing). She became nervous and was asking others to help her. She was told to go to her settings. I was smiling within me when she said she can't find the settings and where would she go to solve the issue. It was until someone helped her.

I was like "why would people have such a phone and not make use of it in a productive way?"

I can't wait to move out of this environment because they have a poor mentality and I don't see why they are in school. What are they learning?

All they know is to watch movies, chat on Whatsapp etc. I have introduced them many times to come and be writing online but they refused, saying it isn't easy for them but they can waste their data on unimportant things.

Many times when we are arguing over something, I just move away when I see they aren't ready to learn, especially doing research but they are only limited to the knowledge they have heard from people and parents.

The truth is, the world is evolving and we shouldn't limit ourselves to things we have heard in the past to judge the present. Make research to know the latest but my people here won't.

This is why I don't want to be polluted and so, I prefer to stay indoors with my phone rather than waste my time around them.

When I tell them I have a lot to do online, they murmur and think I am being proud and since they aren't ready for things to keep them busy and productive, I should stay clear away, isn't it?

Have you guys seen the movie "Interceptor?" The lesson that stood out for me in that movie is "DON'T STOP FIGHTING"

I was surprised at how Captain J.J took the whole situation even when she was faced with the worst challenge where her father wanted to be killed, the man said "never stop fighting" as a gun was pointed at him.

This movie teaches a great lesson that no matter what is going on around us or in our lives, we would only be a loser when we stop fighting. I have this mantra pasted on my wall in my room where I see it every morning to keep me reminded that "Quitters never win, winners never quit".

Even with your last drop of blood, once you aren't dead, there is still a chance you would win if you keep fighting. This means that whatever we are faced with, we can be victorious in the end if we believe.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

So, I want us to always remember not to give up no matter what. We should keep fighting and keep going because there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

The only thing is for us to believe and trust in God because fighting alone without believing in the one who can give you strength is useless. You will lose the battle without God involved.

Thanks for reading
