Sometimes we need to be reminded that no one is coming, even when we know there are people who has got our back, but as long as nothing is certain, then it's best we take it to be as no one is coming. This mindset would enable us get up to be better. Imagine knowing no one is coming to your bedside to wake you up cause its morning and you're running late, I bet you'll find your way around it as seriously as possible. Then you'll see that things are done more accordingly not because you love it so but rather cause there is a aim to achieve.
Most times we aren't lazy, we are only too relaxed, feeling like what's the worse that can happen, things would always sort out itself, as much as this mindset is good to ease depression, it can also be a drifting to doom as it can make one more nonchalant and mediocre, operating with very low efforts, when you can get serious and give it your best shot, which would have earned you better benefits ahead. So sometimes it's good people know that no one is coming to their rescue, so they can sit up and work hard like their life depends on it, so we can give it our best shot.
You know as teenagers and high school student, a large number of teens feel more relaxed in their academics because the fun is so overwhelming and they are beginning to see that school is not the end of life and it is not an assurance to be successful, so why not just make it fun. However in that same school there are always people who can't afford to fail, most of them are only scared of their parents so they put in extra efforts, some others are taking it seriously cause they believe it's a right path to earn them success. Which ever it is, as long as they get to improve academically, they surely would be rewarded in life. No one can truly help you if you don't want to help yourself.
Everyone has what they are dealing with, same way it's not easy for mr A is also in another angle not easy for Mrs B, I mean life happens to us all, both me and you and we all complain and react based on how we feel at the moment, so you can't possibly bank on anyone to stand by you especially for future purposes, cause no one can truly predict tomorrow. I could only be having 10$ and be complaining about being poor and another has over 1k$ and his complaining more bitterly about being poor and can't spare me anything. So no one is sure to come, take it like "No one is coming ".
With this we can get up to get the job done, not because we love it, rather cause if we don't who would? We have to visit our tables and make some necessary adjustments, plan and execute it all by ourselves cause at the back end of our mind, no one is coming and we still have to get the job done so its the earlier the better. Do you have a job interview, then you've got to prepare and study before by yourself and for yourself and the rest beneficiary aligned to you like your family, so you are motivated to do more at home. You've got an exam ahead, you've got to prepare cause no one is coming, work as though you're alone in this world.
Any help that comes in along the way would be considered as benefits. No you won't reject it cause you want to do it all by yourself, rather you'll accept cause it has made your work easier. Just like a father is not expecting his young child to pay the bill's yet but if by chance the kid sees his way to earn more cash, then it's a bonus for the father to whom it doesn't makes him lazy or less of a man. No one is coming guys, let's set the grounds for our movements. Work it out with all you've got guys.
Probably it's where we get the saying I'll do my best and leabe the rest to God. We knowing fully well that God would in turn use men to come to our aid, but since we aren't sure of who the men would be we can't keep hoping on them so we just put all hope on God yet we do the work like we aren't expecting anyone to help out. Such determination to see things achieve would always strive through. It's the reason why we can see people rising up from the gutters into becoming because they feel they are all they've got and if they don't work it out, who would?
So yes, act like no one is coming to do your dirty laundry, so you can get up to do it yourself, act like no one is going to give to the answers in the examination, so you can burn the midnight candle, act like no one would stand up to speak for you, so you can know your rights for yourself and fully defend yourself. Act like no one is coming with a big bag of money to offer you, this way you will get up and work, not the regular. No you'll work like you need that success today. Act like no one is going to put that smile on the faces of your parents and dearest, so you can be more intentional about seeing it come to realization, indeed do your very best and let God handle the rest, don't put hope on any man, cause in reality no one is coming.
