Screening Drama

It's day 302 of documenting 2025.

63 days to 2026!

Well, today was clearance day.

It went well for the most part, but then the school authorities decided to play on us.

Processes that were not made easy for any of us.

We had to do this....wait, and then do that again.

After the so-called photocopy of documents, we were to get a so-called file.

And then the stupid wait started.

Apparently, it was the school folder that each student was to get.

3 folders per student.

It was supposed to be easy, pay and get your folders...

And then it was to compile your documents and you were done.

But no....

We had to wait for the file 😒

As if that wasn't enough, the person selling it made us wait (on our feet) for almost two hours.

My legs hurt so much and I had to squat a few times.

The other students in front complained, and then some said that the person went out.

Then about half an hour later, they told us that the file was finished!

What! 😲

After waiting for almost two hours.

Standing!

Well, it was a good thing, as I was already tired of standing for so long.

I almost cried...

It's all good, we go again tomorrow.

I'm home now...and I thank God that half of the process has been completed.

That's all for today's gist.

Let's get into highlights for today...and I'll probably share a few thoughts.

365 Days With Self-discipline

📌 On Listening to Your Gut

"You might find the idea of listening to your gut feelings odd or even

ridiculous. 

Some people I coach, normally left-brain individuals who use logic and facts all day like engineers or accountants, are not used to following their intuition and feelings. 

Instead of asking themselves “What do I feel?”, they are more comfortable asking “What do the facts tell me?”

Quote by Nigel Cumberland

Using logic and facts is essential in accomplishing your goals, but sometimes it’s important to listen to your gut, instead of what you can determine through using a rational thinking process.

For example, I was once running a company in a profitable industry, with a good and proven business model. 

There were many possibilities for growth, clients enjoyed the service, and it was probable that (with enough persistence) I would get venture capital funding and expert coaching.

However, in my gut I felt that the business wasn’t for me. 

It clashed with my personality, and no amount of rational thinking, facts, and logic would have persuaded me otherwise.

In the end, I sold the company and it proved to be the right decision, a

decision that was based primarily on my intuition and feelings, not logic.

Don’t ignore the usefulness of your gut feelings. 

It’s fine to be self-disciplined and remain persistent no matter what, but if deep down you no longer care about your goal or it otherwise makes you feel uneasy, let your intuition make its case. 

It’s highly probable that it’s right.

Okay, I'll say a few words on this one.

Most times I listen to my gut than to go through a rational thinking process.

Is it good? Probably.

Rational thinking might surface in high risk situations, but I usually go with the one that's needed.

And sometimes, I think that listening to your gut is the same as listening to your heart. Am I correct? 🤔

Anyways....that's what I'm going to say on the topic.

There's also another thing I would like to share.

I got my old job back.

It's a job I left because of the stress factor....but this time, I told God about it.

Would still probably have to put 8t in writing to cement the idea 💡

Thing is, I finally want to start saving up for my own laptop, after planning about it but not following through.

The job is just a means of getting a pay that is predictable.

Besides, I can gain more experience on how the whole consulting business works, and probably put together a course or something that I can resell.

And the salary is going straight into my laptop fund....not negotiable.

Haven't actually told anyone about it, so you're hearing it here first.

I hope it won't be stressful this time around...and by God's grace, it won't.

As for the school processes, word is that lectures will start in second week of November.

That's about 3 weeks from now or so.

By then, I'll be in my hostel, settling in and getting to know the surroundings.

I still don't know much about making friends, so I think I'll be on my own most of the time, except when the situation calls for socializing.

Introverted-extroverted me 😁

That would be all for today's post.

No AI chat this time.

Probably next time, thanks for reading 🎀
