The Result is in the Repetitions

Do you have favorite writers or people you truly admire their craft and think they are great today? You should check out their first book, article or the first work they did and compare with what they're doing now.

The first thing you'll discover is that growth and development has happened because they learned on the job and are still learning. This is just the way life works. Nobody starts out perfect. Many people who are great today had blurry pictures of their skills when they started but as they journeyed, the picture kept getting clearer and clearer.

If you're still doubting that you have what it takes to start your journey, you should read "Do you have what it takes?" Here's the link: https://favourchimamaka.blogspot.com/2022/01/do-you-have-what-it-takes.html

My cousin once told me that the result is in the repetitions and honestly, this is so true. Consistency is not easy to attain but it holds the key to attaining perfection.

These are the words of James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits and it summarizes the message that I intend to pass across through this article to you

“The funny thing is that you pretend you’re this expert, but in the beginning, you’re not an expert at all. I didn’t know anything about marketing a business, but as you write about it each week, and being the person who researches it each day, you become the expert.”

So you see, it is impossible to start out perfect because if that is what you're waiting for, you'll probably never start out anything.

The result that you are looking for is in the consistency of that practice and in the willingness to keep learning about it. Just keep at it.

IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

You may think an unhealthy relationship is far from you, but I can't guarantee you that if you or your partner falls into the following category. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay tuned for this unveiling. 1. The people whose hobby is table turning: Are you familiar with the term "table turning?" If you're not, I'll tell you what it means. Do you know those people who never admit that they are at fault or believe that they have a hand in any wrongdoing but always find a way to make everything your fault? They are the table turners. So, he or she does something that is clearly wrong but by the time the story is told 3-4 times, they manage to make it your fault and you end up apologizing for what you don't know. 2. The people who "call a spade, a spade": These ones with their mouths sharp as razor specialize in telling their kind of truth. Their mic is always on. All they know about being supportive is calling a spade a spade and saying things th...

MUSINGS ON MICHELLE OBAMA'S BECOMING

I've been reading Michelle Obama's Becoming and in a page where she tried to talk about how her background differs from Barrack's, she wrote- "His story was his story" and for some reason, this line which at first glance appeared very simple and not "deep" stood out for me. "His story was his story" It made me think about how often we want our lives to go in other ways that are different from what we have right now. How we spend time to think that just maybe if we were born into a different family or grew up in a different environment or attended a different school, that our lives could have been better. Or that we could have had a "better" story. There is no "better" story and there's beauty in my story and your story is what I'm learning from Michelle. Your story may not glitter but there's value and beauty in it. You've got to believe this. There's beauty in the entirety of your story- from the neigh...

Do you have what it takes?

This is one question that almost everyone asks themselves before taking any step-in life that seems huge. I also asked myself when I was getting ready for a debate for the first time in my secondary school. I wasn't sure if I had what it takes to stand before the crowd and defend a cause. " Am I going to sound convincing enough?" "Were they going to believe what I had to say ?" I had plethora of questions but these questions were only going to be answered if I got out on that field and did the debate. Truth is, you'll never know if you have what it takes for a job until you take a step and "put yourself out there" like a friend once advised me to. This isn't something you've never heard before but you're really doing yourself no good by waiting to figure everything out before taking a step. For years, I fancied with the idea of creating a blog. I would read about blogs, go to other people's blogs (already made people) and co...
