Step Out, We’re Together

It’s a lockdown period! Everyone seems to be indoor. The fear of catching the deadly virus is enough to keep one in, even if there is no enforcement by the government. Expectations on the relaxation of the restrictions are not even on sight, but then life must continue. I must think of what to do.

I remember putting down a few things to achieve in the year. Do you have Vision 2020?. I also have. I wanted to be better than the past years. 2020 must be a new beginning. I am not getting younger, so are the days gradually slipping away. Truthfully, I wrote a statement of commitment, which I supposed will guide my future endeavours. See it here:

I, Aasa Olaoluwa will arise and build; but dazzling sights have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in my life project.

Use what you have

I started well. I launched out by writing a business plan on a life-changing project. I was on fast lane early on while getting the needed advice both within and outside my immediate family. It appears the compulsory holiday is for me since I have always been busy with one activity or the other before then, but this isn’t the case. I am getting tired already. I even misplaced the manuscript at a time, but later found it where it was hiding. Along the line, other ideas emerged, one of which is this reason for this note.

The motivation

I have noticed over time I get to write scripts for presentations or correspondences after getting short notices. Most times, I am impressed with myself (I don’t know if my audience does, but I think they do). When it comes to doing the same for myself, I linger until the idea goes out of reach. I used to have a blog which, was not adequately managed. I later deleted it to begin again, this time more seriously. Not without you !… Smiles! Maybe that’s your story?

The promise

This idea wouldn’t get to fruition without you. Therefore, I call on you to be part of this success story. I wouldn’t want to disappoint you. I must drop something here regularly. I am sure this will benefit you and someone close to you.

Raise the bar

Do you also have a similar story? What are you doing to raise the bar? The time is not always right. All the needed resources may not be available at a given time. You’re not likely to have all the supports from those you trust. The pandemic may not be over very soon, and likewise, the economy may not be fast enough for recovery. The opportunity you have now may be the only one to change your status quo. Succeeding opportunities maybe for other areas of your life not very relevant for the season they come. Will you sit down idle or focus on your past? I call on you to rise with me. Let’s do something different and celebrate our success together. You’re not alone.

Kindly visit the About to have a preview of what to expect as we journey together. I also call on you to share your short story about this period in the comment section. Hoping to read from you soon.

Thank you.

  1. The Lockdown, as Idle as it seemed, I was pregnant 🤰🏽 with my Baby Boy and that year birthed the unexpected side hustle which has endured till now.
    Each time I remember the lockdown I am reminded that says in 2 Kings 3:17 KJV
    [17] For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.”
    Now coming to writing ✍️ there are times when I needed to put things down but like you said, there’s not always the right time. I have attempted to have a website for my cake business but subscription has been a major challenge coupled with tutelage on all that’s involved. It just has to begin somehow I agree with you ✅
