Excuses or Results?

In this fast-running world, we have no idea what we're doing or where we're going but the thing is, no one has time for anything. 

"Sorry. I couldn't make it. I was busy and didn't have time."

"Oops. I'm busy. You guys carry on."

EXCUSES! EXCUSES!! EXCUSES!!! 

But what do we plan on accomplishing by just giving excuses?

Its easy to give excuses and not finish your project on time- even though you are on an impossible deadline (definitely not based on real events lol) but sucking it up that it was your fault that you wasted an entire semester without doing the project and procrastinated till the last date, takes much of your energy and courage. 

You can easily play the victim card - "I was sick", "My grandpa died", "My laptop lost the data" and whatnot, get creative as possible- or pull yourself together and find the means to finish the work.

Its easy to give excuses for not meeting up with your loved ones for lunch and say that you got stuck at work. Instead, you could make the necessary arrangements at work; maybe finish your tasks prior and go meet with them and show them how much they mean to you.

Honestly, its so much more easier to shake your head on an additional responsibility or a task when you have a busy schedule. But that does not mean that you cannot do it. 

Even though you are already exhausted and still have to sacrifice your sleep, you MAKE time if you really care about it instead of giving excuses.

You leave early in the morning for work/school/college and come home late at night. You can either say that you do not have time to read the bible and pray or, you can surely FIND time in a 24-hour day for the God that created you. 

This is your sign to try and live a life without excuses. 

On a personal note, I would like to appreciate a close friend who is away from home, but somehow makes sure to be there for the team. As I said earlier, its much more convenient to just say no when you have other commitments. Especially when you are away from your place, it takes a mental toll on you. But you didn't and took it on yourself to do the work and even chose to spend the weekend for our short film, when you could have just rested at home or gone out for fun. God sure did see his son spending his time and energy for him rather than giving excuses. 

Well Deserved Mr. Hamilton, Best Editor!

Also, Thank you Sam for sharing your suggestion for today's content. Much appreciated!

He does not want a Perfectionist.

The time has come to revive the undead... Well, HELLO! There is a high chance that nobody remembers this blog (even I have forgotten, lol). I have been wanting to start blogging again for quite some time now- like the hundred other things I have been  wanting  to do. However, something I came across - which I will share in later blogs - gave me the prompt to put my thoughts into action.  In a time of reflection this morning, I was pondering what went wrong along the way. I used to be able to do things. I used to get work done, but now all I do is cut a sorry figure for myself and self-loathing. One thing that I was able to bring to my attention is that if I do something, I try to do it properly or not do it at all. What seemed like a good habit initially became the very thing that started pulling me down. At first, it made me more conscious of what happens if the things that I drive do not reach a good place. Then Procrastination joined the ride, along with Self-doubt, wh...

A day in the greens

Soothing breeze caressing the face Right through the back of the brain Eyes roll back in calmness Lost in a different world amidst the noises Silhouette of a hill over the horizon Green pastures a treat to the eyes Waves of wind over the yellow gems of rice Sparrows flying across the sky Leaves rustling Birds humming Crows cawing Clouds floating in the sun's red sea While hiding behind it  For us not to see.

One step at a time

One is often easily carried away with ambitions that hit them after getting a boost of motivation from an Instagram reel.  In most cases, this kind of energy fades eventually.  That does not mean that aiming high is a bad thing, just that try not to aim too high.  Like aiming for the moon when you are sitting on the couch while scrolling Instagram feeds. You first need to keep your mobile down. Stand up. Take a moment to collect yourself. Walk out the door to spot the moon in the first place. You might not see it if it isn't the right time of the day. If the timing is right, you need to observe all the phases of the moon. Then decide which phase it is that you desire. Then calculate the date on which you will see it again. Make sure you do not have second thoughts and understand that this is what you exactly want. Only after all this, do you find a way to reach the moon.  Before you reach your ultimate goal, there are obviously going to be preparatory steps along the...
