Geeez!, I’m quite clueless about how to start this but I’m just going to write however it occurs to me.
What started as a little break ended up with me not writing for months, shoutout to my friends that gently reminded me that they wanted more newsletters. I feel like I summoned strength from it.
After a really long break, I hope this turns out to be a good one.
Dear reader, how have you been?, how has life been treating you?
Wish this was a blog so I could get responses
Sending you loads of hugs wishing that it makes you feel better regardless of how you currently feel
Alright, lets dive in, before we do, I apologise for the long silence, I hope that I am able to keep the buzz afloat this time and to ensure this, I’ll write monthly instead of weekly, I might write more than once in some months when I’m really feeling the groove.
I feel like I should make this the November one.
Life recently
I finally decided to resume my newsletter (chuckles)
I have met new people recently, seen a couple of movies, one of it particularly stood out (FROM SCRATCH), finally decided to take applying for a thing my brother has been pushing me to, seriously, after procrastinating a bit.
I have asked myself why I have been putting it off and it turns out I had been a bit scared of rejections, but not applying is automatic rejection and it would be a disservice to myself to disqualify myself.
What disservice have you been doing to yourself and how can you rectify it?
Rather than just straight up applying, I also decided to ask why I didn’t do so earlier and this is known as the Cause-Effect Phenomenon. You can not try to cover up smoke with items without putting out the fire causing the smoke. This would lead to a disaster,
A cause instigates an effect, a cause is why a thing happens, an effect is what happened. Studying the cause helps prevent re-occurrence of events which is why you would not treat allergies without avoiding the food that caused the allergies, otherwise it could be an unending and an unproductive cycle.
Also, an event could have multiple causes or a series of causes, this reminds me of a story I read while I was younger “Who kicked the cat”, and it goes thus:
“A CEO berates a manager’s work, a worker that reports to the manager goes to ask the manager for time off to pick his kids at school but gets yelled at, and is refused the leave because the manager hasn’t calmed yet, the kids are the only one left at school and get angry, the father eventually picks them up at his close of work but the kids are still annoyed, their cat runs to one of the kids immediately they get home and the cat gets kicked”
There’s a series of causes that culminated into one effect.
Who do you think kicked the cat?, I think if someone had managed their anger well along the chain of causes, the effect might have been different.
Life Tip: Look to people that are above you in knowledge and wisdom, look to people that are below you in riches. This is the key to a contented life.
Thanks for this wonderful write up.✨
