JUST DO IT ! ! !

Waiting for that billion dollar idea to hit you?
It may never hit you cause you may already have had that idea but you devalued it and considered it not worthy enough to give you that big break.

Let me go further to explain with a scenario.

I conceived TAK (The Assistants by Kender) two years ago and late last year I decided to take action and start off an online service.
(Creating written contents and Copy editing/proofreading) 
The original idea was (and is still) a publishing house, however as the funds and other means were not in place yet I decided to start off online first.
Fast forward into six days ago when I got an inspiration to expand my reach and send out proposals to media houses, newspapers and Blogs about my service. The idea was really great and I couldn't wait for the weekend to come so I could work on a really great proposal. 

Now I'm seated here and really thinking if I should go ahead and work on the proposal or not. Mixed feelings came and I started questioning myself on my competence. I literally developed cold feet and questions came popping up.
  • You are just a freelance writer/Editor, which media house would work with you?
  • You didn't even study Creative writing in school (asides the online certificate I got earlier in the year) so which certificates would defend your skills?

These questions honestly made me weak and frustrated that I just decided to cancel the idea and wait for a better time. 
On closing my laptop the words ''JUST DO IT'' hit me. 

I may not be the only one who battles with seeing an idea to a finish point or waiting for some grand opportunity to appear and make the big change in our lives. 
That billion dollar idea or business plan you are waiting for to hit you may already have, but just like I did, you devalued it or dismissed it.  

Look around you, what you may have been looking for might just be staring you in the face and you just don't see it. Never take light any idea or opportunity because the big break may just be in it. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you learnt a way NOT to go about it. 

Life happens so fast that if we don't take actions, we may end up regretting what we never did. The worse that could happen is failing at it which is still great (if you ask me).

So I will go ahead and write to Media houses and blogs/websites owners on creating written contents and Editing for them. If everyone rejects a freelancer who doesn't have paper qualifications but has over four years of experience in Creative writing and Editing, so be it.

We will keep trying and doing it regardless. 
peace out guys....✌

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the ...

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with ...

ARE YOU READY 😇😇😇

Recently I just discovered something about relationships. It had not really occured to me but I started noticing it lately and I just had to address it. The way people take relationship these days is so baffling. They wake up one morning and out of nowhere they want to be in a relationship. (like it's a child's play or it's worth nothing). The way people prepare for marriage should be the way they should prepare for relationships, since its the first step to marriage. In my own opinion, marriage and relationships are basically the same thing except for the intimacy/sex (which happens in most relationships now and that does not mean it's right) and the blessings from a Priest. The other things are basically the same thing. Being in a relationship entails so much. It's not just a fling, hearts are involved, emotions, ideas, sharing of visions and goals. People in relationships virtually plan their lives together and impact each other directly or indirectly. Am ju...
