It Takes More of Self-Discipline

As good and as helpful as a source of motivation may be, sometimes all it takes to succeed is an act of discipline. No amount of incentive, morale or motivation can propel an undisciplined mind to success. Don't blame all the failures on systems and circumstances. Many a times, the missing link is self-discipline. Be deliberate about it. -Shaddy Boat

A Brief Dialogue Between Two Young Lovers

Flashback⚡ Me: Hey, I've been thinking about your birthday coming up. How about we spend it together??? I was thinking we could go to Mole National Park for a little adventure, or you could come to Kumasi. What do you think??? Her: Thanks for the offer, but I think I'd prefer to celebrate alone this year. Me: Alone??? But why??? I want to make your birthday special. Her: I appreciate that, really, but I just fe el like some alone time would be good for me. I want to spoil myself and do things at my own pace. Me: But I want to be there with you, to share in the joy and make memories together. Her: I know, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. But sometimes, I need to do things for myself.

I promise we'll celebrate together next year, okay??? Me: Deal. Happy b...

But you're not I don't really know you that well but then you seem to know me quite well from the way you stare right back anytime we meet. A quick glance at you and I can't stop wondering how disappointed you probably are in me. Your eyes are like mine, with identical gestures. I even try to copycat you when we meet or perhaps it's the other way round. You always leave, only to re-appear intermittently along the span of day, in the wash room, at the mart, in the bus, and along the street and even on my phone oft times. You are silent, and it makes me wonder if we are anything alike. You say nothing but only stare and this really scares me sometimes.

Life in Scope

It is perfectly normal that at a point in life, we feel pressured to take some hasty decisions that we've not planned to especially when it appears as though we are lagging in life. But as these pressures mount, pause to ask yourself this thoughtful question;  What matters most in life? The pace or the value. Certainly it can't be  the pace. And so as much as it is beautiful to do it quickly,  i humbly  wish that you will take your time and do it expertly and congruously that it may stand the test of time. For in the end,  it is in value that real beauty lies. When you take a critical and close look at today's life, it is an inevitable fact that a better tomorrow is never guaranteed. Whether or not we will succeed  cannot be determined or controlled. In contrast, there is one thing, we can fully control at every moment and that is how we choose to face tomorrow.
