“How do you want me to believe that you are not prepared for this exam- a whole you? What then should i be saying if the professor in my class is saying this?” he placed his two hands on his head and gave a remorseful look while he walk away to tell others about what i told him.

“It’s a lie! How on earth will you believe a scholar isn’t well prepared? Let him get the question and you will see how his pen will be dancing. Stay there and let him be deceiving you” that was the reply he got after telling them what we discussed.

The very first thing that came to my mind was the fact that achieving success is very much easier than sustaining it especially when there are lots of expectations from people. I stood afar and couldn’t stop shaking my head consistently; at first to mourn my inconsistency and also how much expectations they all have about me.

Let me tell you how it all started;

 I’ve always worked towards being a leader by example and at the same time unnoticeable- which is very important to me. One of my core values is the “No excuse” mentality which I’ve always put at the fore front of any of my decision making. The goal is to be excellent in my profession (my course of study) and my purpose (life coaching) but on this journey is a lesson I’ll like to share.

At first, i was able to balance the two sides until I begin to experience a consistent shift away from my course of study. It’s not like i didn’t have plans for my studies, i did but at every point i tried to get the knowledge, i just noticed the enthusiasm is not just there again. It started gradually until it’s now very low. I can spend all day motivating people but just a glance on my book is a sleeping dose for me.

I really didn’t take it serious until it is almost late but i never give up still.

My point

That my one experience simply taught me what i couldn’t understand when people share this same experience with me long time ago. I had a taste of how loss of motivation can be a serious hindrance in the face of plans, work, experience, and records.

But my birthday gift is to tell you what i always do at every stage I’m overwhelmed with discouragement. “I stop anything I’m doing; I reach out to friends; I then think of what to do then say a word of prayer for help.

That’s m birthday gift to you and i hope you gain something. I am also expecting your gift and part of it is to go on your status and say something about Tumihub.

Thanks
