Ok, it been nearly forty-eight hours ago since I last published. Sometimes I just feel like not writing anything or doing anything in general, I do wish I can just lie on my bed and let the whole world spin around me.

Sometimes I do imagine myself to be extremely rich that I don’t need to work or move a finger. And that I would have enough manpower to get things done for me.

Like me having people to do all the basic things like the laundry, to take care of my dishes, to take care of my home and to cook.

I want life like; just waking up every day, flexing in a Jacuzzi for hours, sipping expensive wines. And sure I won’t be alone but perhaps with my girlfriend or wife; you know doing one or two things (oops I didn’t mention anything, I will let your imagination contemplate on what I was referring to).

Well that the kind of life I want, a life of no stress where I can travel to any country of my choice with a healthy bank account and no worries.

Ok before I get myself carried away in my daydreaming, let me bring my consciousness back to reality and to the current situation I am in.

Inner laziness

I realized that everyone has the tendency to be lazy but how we deal with this inner laziness in us; is what differentiate hardworking people and lazy people. The way we react to this tendency really matters.

For example you decide to have siesta or a night sleep, sometimes when it is time to wake up the body feels reluctant to. But is left to you to take control whether you are really going to wake up or not.

The world isn’t a bed of roses like my daydream, even the wealthiest people on earth like Elon musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates work everyday despite their enormous wealth. It is a part of them, yeah they do enjoy the benefit of being wealthy but that doesn’t make them lazy or stop working. They know the importance of being hardworking even though they are at the pinnacle of success.

A left out factor

The road to success is filled with many obstacles that can deride one who is travelling on its path. There are many factors that people mention to overcome these obstacles like consistency, hardwork, perseverance, patience and so on, but one factor that is often omitted is faith, yes faith!

Faith is a very important factor that enhance success, many people had come up with innovative ideas but many scrap them off because they had little faith in themselves or in the project itself.

I see faith as a mental weapon that can make one achieve success easily.

Let me share with you guys a true recent example.

A cousin of mine came from a state that is about 160 km far from the city I live in to seek a job, he had to stay with us for some days. Before he went for the job interview I asked him how sure he his that he would be given the job.

He told me confidently that all the job interview he done he has never been rejected, he said the only reason they may reject him is that if there is politics involved and the acceptance process isn't genuine

I was mistaking this my cousin faith in himself and ability as a boast. He went for the interview on Wednesday and by Thursday he had gone back to his home.

On Friday evening I received a message from him telling me that he got the job. I was elated and I was congratulating him. I remember his words and his faith in himself and capabilities that he would get any job he applied for under cinematography and videography. The faith he had was so huge and a lesson for me to hold on to.

If you don’t believe or have faith in yourself, how do you want others to do so?
