Ever wondered in the cave man times how they got up so early, cultivated, tilled the ground, walked kilometers to get basic things like water, food or hide and lived a sustainable life that was passed on to generations, I’m sure there were no such things as extreme tiredness and chronic fatigue which was virtually non existent! It has only reached massive proportions since the invention of the ‘Alarm Clock’ which comes in various forms.
Argh … who was that crazy person who invented it anyways??!!
‘Olakunle is a graduate, with a first class degree in banking and finance, working for a multinational company that pays him a reasonable amount, but then the stress he undergoes daily from the famous Lagos traffic, ever demanding female boss who never likes to see work rolled over, overworking himself to the extent he sleeps almost through out his journey back home, getting home late and too tired to get something reasonable to eat, so he relies on junk food to help quench his hunger, only to set an alarm to wake him up as early as 4am to prepare for the day, having ample time to rest and relax his brain and this has being his routine over a decade’
Hardwork is not progress and consistency, alot of us are webbed in circles just like Olakunle’s.
Why work like an elephant and eat like an ant? How much treasure can you store up for yourself in the quest for greener pastures which has caused many to live in jeopardy, not fulfilling purpose and finding fulfillment.
How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?
– Charles Bukowski
Sometimes, routines like this gives ample time for care for oneself, to be with family, be there for your loved ones, keeping a relationship notwithstanding the level of understanding which requires time and commitment. Man has feelings, yearns for touch, care, love and food! I mean good food!
Someday, you don’t want to be in the confines of your luxury apartment having to deal with depression, high blood pressure, stroke, dejection, overdrinking, over thinking, feeling unfulfilled, because of the wrong choices made.
If others can do it, you can do it? People have done these routines and are successful, guess what? you’re not them and will never be them. Every man has been called to a purpose, if it’s for you, you shouldn’t stress to get it. Many at times God is not the problem, we just choose to remain in such situations having the hope that someday the big stacks would come, a better tomorrow and other pretty imaginations.
Family is important, but a wealthy family without love, care, and affection is no longer an ideal family.
The mind of man breeds fear and is desperately lazy. He’s afraid to learn new things, he fears the unknown, to conceptualize his dreams and visions. Who said you couldn’t be better starting up a business of your own? Make more money working from home, or putting to use your vocational skills, talents and gifts?
Work experience with a detrimental aftermath is not worth it. Don’t be bossed around to the extent you don’t have a life of your own. Live, laugh, love and be loved. Everyday is a chance to make better choices, be happy and fulfilled. ‘With God, All Things Are Possible’
There’s more to life than living a life centered around ‘ALARM CLOCKS’
Man was created to ‘BE GREAT, STAY GREAT!
Eso People.
