A New Plot Twist

It's day 317 of documenting 2025.

48 days to 2026!

Today was a twist of events...

But first I want to say,

I got no lectures tomorrow!

Yayy! 😁

Okay, don't get me wrong...

It's not like I don't like going for lectures.

Just that this week has been hectic for me and it's going to get even more hectic next week.

Why?

Because we have finally worked on our timetable for lectures.

And from Monday to Friday, we have lectures.

The lecturer taking us tomorrow said we would start next week.

Baby girl's very happy! 

I'll rest properly tomorrow 😪

And then plan for next week.

Oh yeah....the main gist.

It turned out that I was elected as the course rep for my class.

This time, it was a proper voting exercise done in the presence of a lecturer.

And I got most of the class votes...15 to be exact.

To be honest, I didn't know it was going to turn out that way.

I would just say that God surprised me and I'm so grateful 🥲

He has given me an opportunity to serve people, and I'm going to do it well, by His grace.

Before I continue with my stream of thought, let's see today's highlights.

Afterwards, the thought stream will continue to flow. Sounds good? 

365 Days With Self-discipline

📌 On Thinking You’re Able 

"They are able because they think they are able."

Quote by Virgil

It might be a trite reminder, but it’s nonetheless frequently true: people

often achieve impossible feats merely because they think they are able to do so.

If you don’t think that you’re able, you either won’t try at all, or if you try, it will be a half-hearted attempt that is almost guaranteed to fail.

In rock climbing, I sometimes deliberately try routes or single moves well above my ability. 

I’ve found that sometimes the mere belief in your abilities can lead you to climbing a difficult route that, without such a belief, would result in a spectacular failure.

In business, the companies that grow the fastest are led by entrepreneurs who don’t set any limits for themselves. 

If they decide to sell their services to a Fortune 500 company, they’ll start figuring out how to do it instead of wasting time pondering whether they’re able to do so.

In sports, it’s often not the training in itself that makes an athlete successful.

It’s what they tell themselves during the competition that makes the difference between winning or losing.

The next time you face a big, seemingly insurmountable challenge or find uourself in a situation with a low chance of emerging victoriously, assume that

you’re able to overcome it; and then act as if it were true. 

Life isn’t a fairy tale, so it won’t always work. 

However, if you assume that you aren’t able; and that will manifest in your hesitant actions..you’ll be always doing yourself a disservice.

Okay, so there's a story I want to share related to this...

I told my roommate about what happened and how I was elected course rep by the class.

She was so happy for me 😄

And then she said something.

She was like,

"I know you can do it...you're good for the role"

In my mind, I was like:

"Man! This isn't going to be easy!...and I don't feel qualified for this post at all"

My mindset is to just serve them...those that chose me.

And I was always praying:

Lord, grant me the wisdom to do what you have called me to do, in a way that pleases you serves those you have called me to serve 🙏

I didn't know God was actually going to give me a big opportunity to serve!

I went for fellowship with my roommate this evening and I was just praying for God to help me.

Because I would be lying if I say I can do it myself.

I prayed for God to help me with advisers, mentors and to surround me with good people.

He listens to me...and I believe He will answer in due time 😌

And yeah...I also announced it.

On my status, I posted.

Then I sent it to my friend circle as well.

Now, I actually feel like I shouldn't have done that, because they would still see my status.

It has been done already, so, it's alright.

One more thing...

I feel like my content work is starting to clash with my schedule.

Because these days, I'm not able to meet up with the timing they set for me to submit content.

It's either I'm in a lecture, or at the fellowship, like I was this evening.

I had already told my boss that I would work for 6 months straight.

The goal is to save up for my first laptop.

But I can't tell him I won't be able to continue.

Truth is, I don't feel overwhelmed...even with the added responsibility of course rep.

So, as long as I'm able to manage my time well, I can continue.

Plus, it's kinda cool to announce that I work as a content writer 😎

I think that would be all for today's documentation.

I actually spoke my mind this time.

I know that the coming days will be filled with sleepless nights and struggles, but God is with me.

Those struggles will strengthen me.

Thanks for reading 🎀

By God's grace, I'm still writing
