One thousand and one reasons

I had thought I wouldn't be writing this week, I had made up my mind not too. So what made me come up with this piece eventually?

There are one thousand and one reasons not to come up with something, I could say am tired, busy and really have a kind of uncaring attitude. After all, I owe no one any explanation if I publish a story or not. Perhaps you've been in my shoes before, probably your reasons more genuine than mine. Perhaps when you were supposed to pick up that book and read, when you lay on the bed when you ought to be preparing your meal only to be jolted by hunger some hours later, that could have been avoided if only you have ignored that voice of 'No am not hungry'. Something suffers at the long run for every reason we give not to do what is expected of us at the right time. In my case, I would have denied my faithful readers some pleasure they derive from my stories. They will waste their precious data searching for new stories on my blog.

My conscience was pricked, I had to do the right thing. No matter how disorganized my thoughts would have been, or the excuses of a busy and long tiring week is not enough. What is the essence of committing to a cause and fail to meet up with it, after all no one forced us to it. We made the decision! True to it, I had a lot to do this week and with the month coming to an end, for a salary earner like me, the money I have not collected has already been spent. Am sure you know what I mean. (lols). But are these reasons strong enough to deny my faithful readers? That's a capital NO! You may have a lot of reasons for not doing what was meant to be done at the right time but the truth is they are not strong enough, if only you thought of the consequences, you would do it right away. The truth is one reason leads to another and if not nipped in the bud, laziness sets in and the path to poverty is established.

There is this feeling swelling up inside me right now, better than winning the American lottery visa ticket, by the way, what was the motive behind it? The way some families jubilate when they win it makes you wonder if living in Nigeria is the worst thing that can ever happen to a man. (lols). Don't know why everyone wants to leave the country. Is Nigeria not better than the USA? That's a debate for another time.  As I was saying, somebody will be glad to read this blog this morning, derive satisfaction and learn one or two things but if I had heeded that voice of reason, none of these would be accomplished and come next week I will come up with another reason till the blog dies a natural death..

Nothing good comes easy, there is a price to pay. No matter the reasons, make an effort to do what is meant to be done at the right time. Thank you for reading.
