Go for it
¡Hola! Everyone, how's the lockdown going? I'm Toluwalopemoyo and I'm so excited to write this article(It's been long I wrote an article)
Recently I had this poetry challenge with my friend and she gave me a topic to write on *"decide what to be and go be it"*. I set out to write as usual, but believe me I was blank and nothing came, so I started thinking about some events in my life these past years and I asked myself "Who am I, What am I really, What do I want to be???"; this led me to the much bigger question "What's my purpose??"
Friends I must confess even as I write this I don't have answers, I realised I don't know who I'm anymore, my strengths and weaknesses I do not know...... I have been into some activities in the past years and instead of having ambitions, I've mere addictions and was just a *mediocre*....
I've come to realise life is a journey but more importantly how long or short is this journey, I do not know, sometimes we're stuck between two worlds, our interests and desires can conflict with our purpose; at this time *crucial* decisions have to be made
Dear friends, we need to be wary of what we belong to. Doctors say "watch what you eat" I say "watch what you belong to"...... as mundane as it may sound our thoughts, activities and addictions take out of our strength and willpower (making us to constantly struggle with fulfilling purpose), naturally things don't come easy for some of us, so why should we complicate it any further?!
You just can't belong to everything, you need a path to journey through life. Most purposeful people have the same routine everyday (just a simple strategy over and over again), you need to know what you want and what you don't.
So friends I ask you "what's your purpose, what do you wanna be??", are you struggling with desires and passion, are you like me? (you don't know who you're anymore).... it doesn't matter what stage you're in, what matters is you're human, you've the ability to manipulate and defy impossibility.
So I'm gonna leave you to ruminate on this and I'm gonna cut off activities that I don't find rewarding, till I come your way next time *Decide who you want to be and go for it*
