Take a Break

Countless times I remember how I and my friends talk about the luxury we would experience, we could finally rest, when we achieve a certain goal, make our first million, get our dream job, be the person we want to be. We do this for hours sometimes, just dreaming and fantasying about the future.

In chasing your dreams you could be so engross. I honestly can say that am one of those who is ready to take up any challenge and make sure nothing dedicated to me or that I have put my mind to fails. I want to achieve all my goals (like everyone else want to). I put in the right energy, take lectures, Google to be updated, seek counsel, read materials and all that’s needed to make it work. Its demanding and time consuming.

Don’t lose your life to your dream, it is yours, you own it, don’t let it own you.

STOP!!! For a moment. Breathe, Smile, Eat, sleep, Call a friend, Laugh, listen to music, Do something different.

I remember an exam I was preparing for and I and my colleagues spend a whole lot of time preparing, reading, burn the night lamps. I noticed that as the day goes by our energy dropped, fatigue, we assimilate lesser and lesser, struggle to keep our eyes on our books. So I decided we go see a movie. We actually ended up watching a cartoon (Zambezia), it was a fun outing. Later that night when we came to read, we were all energized that we study through that night and many others with ease.

Am not trying to preach laziness or to be distracted but a little relaxation can be the energy booster you need for the next step, it might just be the right thing to do to make the right decision on that matter.

Take a break, let it be in your schedule when you plan your day. Go for your lunch break. Call your spouse. Take a break.
