There
is something I’m very sure I’m not the only one that does and that thing is
relaxing after I look at the good results I just had or the project I just
executed which was ‘excellento’. I feel proud of myself and unfortunately, that
pride in my abilities and results makes me relax and that is one very dangerous
attitude…
Very dangerous attitude.. |
For
me, it takes a lot of mental reconstruction and discipline not to relax like
this ...
after I have done particularly well forgetting success is a journey and I can’t afford to relax because if I do, my last successful bus stop might be my last and that would be what I will keep referring to. But is that mental reconstruction easy? It is not atleast not for me because I atimes still struggle with it and atimes, I wished I wouldn’t do as well so I could hit my head and tell it to wake up for next time but that’s also silly. It’s so easy for our achievements, comments such as ‘you are so smart’ which is said every time to get to our heads that we think to ourselves that we have arrived. But the truth is, you and I have not ‘arrived’ and we stop ‘arriving’ the minute we think we have arrived.
We
stop ‘arriving’ because we stop putting in as much effort. We stop praying as
much and stop taking as much risks and we sit on our past achievements. When
people ask what we have achieved, we tell them to check our track record
because we are not trying to make new records. Please, we have to forget our
past achievements. Yes, remember them once in a while to encourage yourself and
tell yourself the same you that made that achievement can make another and even
more but please don’t let’s dwell on them because we have far more potentials
within us that are waiting to be maximized. When people tell you, you have
arrived, remind them of this...

Whoop!
Whoop! mateyscott blog now has its own website and this time, it’s not only
going to be me. I have a fabulous team working with me. Main team are Moyo who
wrote hit me hard with your best shot Toy Toy who wrote simply or simply indifferent Emmanuel who pushed me to start the blog
from the beginning, My darling MSM who makes me laugh so much I forget to act
posh in public. Yes! I’m bringing Super Humans to you and we have more
interesting and inspirational contents. We even have a Fashion (Moyo, the
fashionista. That babe can dress..!) and Football column and my personal
favourite, Ramblings because it’s a platform we can all ramble on and see
Toyole’s ramblings. Can I get a yayyy?
We
are so excited that you will be journeying along with us and we welcome guest
posts and general contributions and comments from you. Though this is my last
post here, Mayowa is still very much alive and you will be seeing that on this
new site. It gets better… It’s no longer going to be a once in a week posting
so get ready to have your mind stimulated a lot.
This
is only possible because of God who keeps each and every one of us alive
despite our unfaithfulness. My biggest thanks goes to Mr Tola who is the main
man behind the scene and Mr lanre, the kick ass web designer who brought my
design thoughts to life. Thank you to all the silent supporters like Bomy and
the active supporters like Ife and Wale. Ife it means so much that you believe
so much in this blog. Then Toy Toy, you totally rock although you should get
your sleepy ass to work. mateyscott is close to a year old and I really couldn’t
have gone this far without all of you amazing people, so a very big thank you
and please, We still need your support.
