The month of August is almost coming to an end and I haven’t made any post for the month. Shame on me. Though not making the post has not been entirely my fault, because each day when I pick my laptop to work with, when I remember I have to make a post I just lost it. This is because I find it difficult deciding on the issue to blog about. I ask myself, Should I be blogging about the happenings in the entertainment circle or the political circle. Sometimes I thought blogging about sports and my favorite team was better. On a second thought I said no. Or better still I think blogging about so many things that I’m doing that I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever be able to piece them all together could be a wonderful idea. So many issues I have to resolve before blogging, and you cant believe that blogging is just one little aspect of a whole lot of things I do. The question now is if it takes me so long to resolve the little one like blogging, how long does it take me to resolve the big ones ? You have to know me personally to find out. This is really amazing. I finally settled for something less and it’s all about not starting if you cant finish. Yes, don’t start if you cant finish. Doing this(not starting if I know I cant finish) has pitched me against many, especially those very close to me. This has even made some call me selfish even when I know I’m very generous person, trust me cos I know I am. But the truth is that I’ve always allowed my conscience to be my judge. If my conscience acquits me, no body can find me guilty. Some people start something without knowing the consequences if they stop half way. I’ve seen people start a fight or quarrel without waiting to find out if they are in a position to carry on to the end. If you are not the person with the position of advantage, why engage somebody in a fight or quarrel ? My elder sister regards me as selfish simply because I know most of what she want me to do for her, but refuse to do them. I’ve told her time without number that my motives are purely harmless. I know that if I do them a couple of times and stop later, she’ll hate me more for it.
I try as much as possible not to learn from my mistakes, but to learn from that of others. An uncle of mine who was highly liked and respected by one of my cousins made the mistake of giving my cousin money a couple of time, but when he decided to stop, the young man hated and despised my uncle for that. He would have still retained his respect and love if he hadn’t made the mistake of initiating the act of magnanimity. But despite all my knowledge of not starting if you cant finish, I still went ahead and started a blog that requires me making at least a monthly post. I’m I sure I can sustain it. Time will tell.
