Causes of failure

My day went well, Ami....how about yours?
I finished all my tasks and got some mental wins as well.
But today's highlight was a book I read yesterday.....I read a chapter of that book and I was quite enlightened....I just had to write the points down.
So, the book is called "Success Habits" by Napoleon Hill....got the book from PDF drive.
The particular chapter I read talked about the 15 causes of failure in any aspect of life....some of them left me in shock 😐....while others just reinforced what I had learned through experience.
Wrote them down...just had to...so I can stare at them when I wanted to and do just the opposite...
Philosophy is not so different from Bible teachings......more often than not, the Bible gives ideas for those philosophies.
Okay, let me just type out some of the things I wrote from my open note in front of me......📖
Causes of failure....I'll just type the ones I found shocking....
▶ Lack of control of the emotions of the heart  (really?)
▶ Meddlesome curiosity in connection with other people's affairs especially when they have no impact on us (guilty of this...sometime
▶ Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity (this one fired me up....won't do this....ever again!)
▶ Inadequate education, not just schooling (funny enough....education and schooling are not the same thing)
These are just some of them, Ami
If you would like to read the full book, just head over to Google and type "PDF drive".
Then search for "Success Habits" on the website....it's a very good read...haven't finished it tho...that was just chapter 7.
Another thing is,
I didn't want to read it at first...but then I finished the other one (365 days with Self-discipline.....will definitely read that one again...daily) and it was part of my routine to read on self development....so I had to read it....I'm thankful I did.
Speaking of routines....haven't actually thought of the habits to include for when I get back online....things will be different, you know?
And that means some habits will have to go....like typing on this blog, for example.
Until day 61...I'll keep typing.
But I have to swap it for another sort of documentation...thinking of audio logs....
At this point, I just feel like I have to document my journey in some form....like this blog...chasing mastery will not be an easy feat...and I'm starting with "selling...that is, affiliate marketing".
I plan to play this game for a year....and I understand that there will be difficulties...but I'm ready to learn from them this time.
Till next time, Ami 👋
I pray and hope that you find the strength to overcome obstacles and challenges.
The path is the goal, alright? 👊

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
