LESSONS TO ME

Me, I'm madam of do it as it is pictured in the head. Do it as planned strategically. My mum is the mother of Do It. No excuses.

Many people would be like why didn't you just replicate your mum since she taught you to be swift with everything. I would have, but I also realized there were too many things that wasn't right because of the Do It without strategically planning for the stages and the outcomes. I therefore decided to be the one who plans appropriately, and stick to the plan.

Does it work? Yes. Does it work all the time? No. Is it good? Yes. Is it necessary all the time? No.

My mum wants to do laundry, she doesn't announce it, she will just wake up one morning, and it is done. Me, I will be psyching myself days before. The worst thing that can happen is for rain to drizzle, I'm done.😂

I wanted to do some DIY painting on our newly moved into apartment doors, but I was keeping it for a DIY video on my YouTube channel. My mum helped herself with it when she was bored. I felt like crying when I came back home and she had done it. That one is minus one YouTube content.

We had some plastering work to do at our backyard, and my mum stayed one afternoon and started doing it. Our family carpenter who is also a family friend came to do a job for us and saw what she did. The man was amazed.

Is it the part where there is no money and she enters the kitchen with what is available and makes the most sumptuous of meals? For those people thinking that managing food items and washing clothes every week is what makes a lady a wife material, well done o.

I've learnt so much from my mum with her do it attitude.

1. There are negatives and positives to almost everything in life, so if you don't do it because of the negatives, you won't learn and you won't reap the benefits of the positive.

2. God wants us to trust Him to do what He is requesting us to. You mustn't know what the end result would be, TRUST HIM.

So, I took a pause for 3 weeks after writing to this point, because I went to run an errand and now I'm thinking of the remaining points I wanted to make.

3. A lot has been left undone on my end for obvious reasons of planning and picture perfect like it should be in Interior Design, but I'm learning to gradually do things as it comes and trusting the process.

4. I've learnt that it's okay to make mistakes, they are a part of life. Next time you do make a mistake, sit down and think through the why. If you take care of the why, you would have learnt how not to make that same mistake, and you can teach others in your little way, not to make same mistakes.

5. The second half of the year just started, go through your goals for the year. Start over, it's still possible with Covid-19.

6. Finally, do am AS E DEY HOT (as it comes to you). You never know what you are about to achieve with it. Lessons to me.
