Fast forward, I grew up and had to be responsible for my daily activities and what have you. I must say, in the early days of discovering myself, I wasted a lot of time on the internet and now that I look back, the only thing I can tell myself in order to not beat myself up was that I was a kid then. But really, there were other kids out there like me who were using their time for better things then. But hey, that’s the beauty of growth. We learn from our mistakes.
Recently, I’ve been telling my friends 24 hours a day isn’t enough for me because I always find myself having little to no time to rest by the time I’m done with my daily activities. My current life is filled with a lot of activities, events to show up to, deadlines to meet, and so many more and all these tend to wear me out most of the time. On such days , I look back and wish I could have those free days I used to spend online as a teenager. As an adult, there’s really no room for procrastination for me. Everyone of us has those days when they really want to do nothing and I’m no different. Honestly, when I don’t feel like doing anything I know to give myself a break because a day to relax wouldn’t hurt. This actually happens once in a blue moon as I’m always kicking to get out of bed everyday to conquer the world. As I grew, one thing I changed about my lifestyle was my indiscipline. I came to a realization that as an individual, once you are not disciplined, a lot of things are bound to go wrong for you and I made sure to apply discipline in every aspect of my time.
I remember telling an acquaintance a few days ago that these day my time is money and if they wanted to be on a phone call with me all day they’d have to pay for that because being on the phone with someone all day won’t put food on my table. Life isn’t child’s play anymore for us as adults. Everyday, we have to go out there and work towards enhancing others lives and making a difference in the world. And trust me, anyone that tells you that you have time either doesn’t like you or i really don’t know.
Time is not on our side. So, do away with the procrastination, stop spending your whole day on TikTok when you have work piled up. Take care of your health and stop eating junk all day while scrolling through instagram. You wouldn’t want to look back 20 years later and regret. Change starts now, and it begins with you.
