Yesterday while I was cleaning a thought hit me. I took a white
dirty bucket from outside and looked at it and thought I could re-use it but firstly
I had to wash it properly using detergents and steel wool to thoroughly clean
it. I went ahead washed it properly but there were parts that still needed more
attention of which I had errands to run so I decided to do it later. My bucket
was partly cleaned which bothered me after
coming back from the mall considering the time I spent to clean it at first. Before I left the mission was to get it cleaned and re-use it right! But after leaving my place my focus was
getting the things I needed from the mall not the bucket.
Ok, I walk around and buy the stuff I need until I get home there’s the
bucket still and then I thought let me just soak it in bleach maybe the
stubborn spots will fade. Ok I do that, then I started cooking and packed for
my trip. I ate and after I was done I looked at this bucket again I thought let
me rather wash it get it over and done with before I go. So I do that My word! the end result was super impressive. I've never seen anyone so excited over cleaning a bucket in my life like I was lol honestly it felt good.
Then I thought about this year there were many challenges presented to
me and everybody else and we managed to pull through. No matter how dirty and
hard the challenges faced we somehow handled it. I thought about the
situations I couldn’t personally handle and needed somebody else to address me
or walk with me on it.I needed detergents to get the bucket spotless clean meaning I need somebody else too to make me see my doings not neccesarily reprimand me but assist in directing me. I understand we all know we need each other regardless which raises a question what will it take for me to take notice or respect everyone the same?
no matter how dirty or how they are? I also thought why is it difficult to focus on one thing and finish it instead of waiting and focusing on other things that I could do later.
We set a limit due to all these wires connected to us that need to be
connected to somehow suit our timing. Completing tasks in time is one of the
many things I’m adapting to. I realised to me personally delays are led
by
comfortability. I also asked myself will I be proud of comfort when I get to the age
where I’ll need to retire, be at home, maybe I’ll then be a mother and wife. I
then thought what values I will be instilling in my family and people around
me.
Focus-Success-Happiness-Strengths.
Delays-Unhappiness-Judging-Comparing.
Moral of the story
I washed a bucket and then decided afterwards to add something on my
bucket list for 2019.
I want to learn to complete my tasks in time and focus.
I’m not seeking fame but merely making a name I’ll be proud off one day.
I am also not working hard to provide the best for my children but to provide best to my
children what I never received best.
Hug someone today, shake someone’s hand or make someone’s day. It’s the
last day of 2018.
