Xmas Note To Self
XMAS NOTE TO SELF
Hi esteemed
viewers!
Compliments
of the season, I know its been a swell time this holiday trying to make booking
for nice vacation places, making reservations for cozy hotels. You know one
thing that amazes me about this season? is that almost everybody around the
tends o do the same thing, like getting a new car, moving to a new apartment or
refurbishing already existing one, people trying to meet with friends that they seldom gets time to meet with, everyone
getting a present for their loved ones including their enemies because that is
what the holy scripture says, plus some people will wanna change their wardrobe
reasons best know to them, others wanna try out new dishes, visit new place,
experience a different weather from what they are used to but generally the
weather worldwide is cold science will be in best position to explicate this. In this piece
I would like to share some of the things I told myself to do in this season of
Christ birth celebration. I SAID TO MYSELF
1. Don’t try to impress anyone: I
clearly said to myself as I reflect on this season, am not gonna impress anyone not
my family and certainly not my friends either, you should do the same if haven
calculated the cost of you vacation, visits to great places will affect your financial budget,, why not cut cost or let it slide!
instead of trying to impress a friend or put on an appearance that is not worth
it just give it up stay at home eat your
favorite meal and have fun. You could have fun within your region/state where
you live you mustn’t travel to spend money, plus if you think and deem it
necessary and financially capable you can go have your fun even if is in mars
or Venus. As for me am just going to be home welcome some group of friends and colleague
who would come visit me.
2. Settle all grievances you have with
anyone: A great man once said “to err is human to forgive is divine” therefore
we live in a world of imperfect people they also tend to do things imperfectly.
It hurts yes! I know but why not find a place in your heart to say, I let go I
no longer want to be emotionally shaken because of this person, no cause for mental
anxiety anymore. Call this person and say I have forgiven you, I give up
whatsoever debt you owe me.
3. Get a present for someone: There’s a
slang in my country that says ”nothing is too small and nothing is too big”
absolutely when it looks good and feels good then it could be a gift present,
it could be a used clothe, electrical gadgets, kitchen utensils, phones, books
even a laptop, you might just wanna get something new that’s totally fine! Just
extend a hand to a friend, a neighbor, a family member. plus if you have
nothing to give, wait!!!!! who says you can’t give your word? Yes call, text,
email someone and say THANK YOU” thank you for being my wife/husband, thank you
for being my co-worker, thank you for being my mom/dad, thank you for putting
me in a tight corner that brought out the best in me, thank you for being my
boyfriend/girlfriend, thank the owner of your apartment/house, thank your boss.
And above all thank the one who sees, hears and knows all (God).
4. Do what will make you happy: you are
the only one who can view yourself in a better mirror, forget about the pain,
hurts, guilt etc you went through in the year 2019,just keep hope alive, keep
faith alive, just keep keeping, visit a place that will make you happy and add
to your horizon/residual knowledge, eat what you wanna eat and can afford, you
could read a book, visit an orphanage home, visit those in the prison, attend a
party, watch your favorite T.V show, buy car, a house, dress, handbag, name
it!! Accessories. Be good.
These where the stuffs I
told myself am gonna be doing this period, I forgive the people who tread my
heart with a fire like thread, I have got no time to please anyone all I do is
what is right, I have plans to get presents especially books for my friends I
have given some gifts already and I will give more, I told myself am gonna get
my nails and my lashes done,! Don’t worry I will post the pictures here.
My advice to everyone on this platform is to be real, be good, be
calm..do what works for you that wont hurt you or anyone around you have a
bountiful celebration and don’t forget to send my gift too am waiting!!!!!
