Shout out to
all the wonderful people reading this!!!
Before I get into the post of the day, I’d
like to say a huge thank you to the readers of my blog. You make me know I’m
not wasting my time or energy. I guarantee you; it’ll only get better as the
days pass by. Now, to the post of the day…
Have you ever heard the phrase “Get a Life”? Well, this phrase is a very important one. On
the staircase of life, some steps come before others. Even when we describe the
steps to getting or doing something, there’s always a step 1, then a step 2 and
other relevant steps. No one moves from the cradle to the university. You first
have to go through kindergarten / nursery school. In the same way, before you
think of getting a man/boyfriend or getting into a serious relationship, there
are some things you need to get or do first.
1) Discover Who You Are
It’s
important you get to understand who you are before you hook up with anyone.
Self-discovery doesn’t come in one day. We discover who we are overtime. Get to
know your likes, dislikes, preferences, preferences in a man, deal breakers
(things you can’t take in a relationship), weaknesses, boiling points,
temperament plus the kind of woman you are. When you discover who you are, it
becomes easier to know what kind of man will suit you best.
2) Discover Your Career Path,
Purpose or Destiny
What career
path will you be taking? What’s your purpose or destiny? You need to have an
idea of these. Why? It helps the man coming into your life know if he can
accept you knowing fully well that you’ll be doing those things. What one man
can handle may be unbearable for another man. What’s more? It saves you the
stress of starting a relationship and breaking up simply because he’s not
comfortable with your career/purpose.
3) Understand What a Relationship
Entails
Getting
into a relationship has its own demands, rules and all. You need to understand
these and be sure you’re ready for such before you get into one.
While You Wait, Get a Life
I can’t emphasize
this enough. Don’t loaf around like someone with no future just waiting for a
man to come and rescue you. Be useful, add value to yourself. No man wants a “useless” woman (no offence
meant; “useless” here refers to one who is not useful for anything) and you
don’t wanna become a liability eventually. While you wait, use your life and
strengths well. Get a career, get that education, start that business, be good
at what you do. Pursue the path of continuous self-improvement, improve your culinary
skills.
The Irony of Life
In this
time and age we’re in, with all the stuff we see around us and on TV, when
we’re young, all we wanna do is jump into a relationship. So, we grab the
nearest person who looks cute enough and fulfills our fantasy so we can proudly
blab to our peers about the relationship we’re in. But if you’re done with all
that hopping from one relationship to the other and you’re finally taking your life
and future seriously, then you need to get these three things before you get a
man. xoxo
P.S: Stinginess is when you
read this and refuse to share it with those you know. Foolishness
is when you read it and don’t apply it to your life. Wickedness
is when you don’t tell someone how much you’ve been blessed so far by this
blog. And I know you’re not stingy, foolish or wicked. xoxo
