This morning I was assigned with the task of cleaning the compound, meaning I sweep the outside. When I looked at the general view of the place, I was like, wow where do I start it is so messy out here. That got me wondering, where does one start when they find out that the place is so messy to the point of no recognition. You see messes, we as human beings tend to cause them to appear. Once we were organized human being, even now we are nut at some point we happen to lose focus and cause a mess. I want to say its a normal thing but organized people would disagree with me. I know you would disagree with me because you are organized.
At the moment I was frustrated because it looked like a big job for me to do. Start at one point and work my way through the mess and this alone made me frustrated. The previous day I was trimming the fence and it was a mess. Thanks to God and an organized mindset I started at one point and did the work. Most times, you and I just let go of the situation and later see it turn upside down but let us not get very worried. Be worried but not to an extent that it ruins some of our schedules.
When a fence becomes un-kept, we tend to look at it badly. If you and I take our life like that fence, there are some parts of life we just look at them badly and yet they are our lives. What am I saying? Am saying that there is that relation you have with someone pathetic, really pathetic and you look away saying “Its life man, its life”. Not it’s not, it is your responsibility to fix it. You will have to start from one end of the fence trimming away the parts that have grown in an undesired manner. You can’t possibly start at the middle of the fence, go to the end and say you’ve done your part the rest up to them. NO! Start from the beginning and work your way through the hardship because, in the end, the hardship will be worth it. You will have secured a better relationship that will last longer and bring profit.
If you will have to start with communicating politely with each other, start there. It won’t be an overnight event, it takes time and you will have to have patience, perseverance and humility. Bot of you! If it the compound you start from one corner of the place and sweep the whole compound. The problem will seem small at first but as you continue, they will pile up and you will get discouraged. The only thing I can tell you is that there is hope for this mess and all other mess you see in life. Be strong and patient, give it all your best and don’t lose hope. The end will come and you will enjoy the fruits of the labour.
Organization is of great importance to our daily living and environment. Am not just talking about the physical environment that we see out here but in our hearts and minds. Especially in your bedroom and the kitchen. When that place is organized, you can see everything and if there is an upcoming potential problem, you can solve it before it causes a huge mess. Give a good example, you are back in high school and there are two friends of yours. One has an organized setting and the other is just living life with the slogan “YOLO, You Only Live Once” and you give each one of them an expensive pen.
One week later, you ask for the expensive pen. To be honest the organized one will hand it to you very quickly but the other one will tell you, “ By the end of the day come for it.” am pretty sure that your friendship will not last for a long time because of carelessness. Imagine your friend losing your child in the mall. JUST IMAGINE that.
Am here to talk to you my messy friend, let us start from where we are. Let us start from our bedrooms and go on to our kitchens then the dining room head over to our sitting room and finish with our compound. Throwing away all the garbage out of our lives. It messy but you can make through the mess and clean up and become a healthy person. As you are tidying up through the place, remember your mind and clean up any bad mess that you’ve caused. Be it a bad relationship, cast it away, a broken relation fix it up with some glue. It’s messy but it can be fixed, just do it and do hesitate. If you procrastinate, you will ………….. that’s up to you. But don’t procrastinate. DO NOT.
