What’s up na? How far my G (you fit be my guy or my girl 😊)? You don tire???? Have you worked so hard and yet you ain’t done with your task but you think you need rest? Are you in the middle of a project with low energy and in need of rest? Or you’ve being working all weekdays and here comes the weekend, you think you need rest though you haven’t finished your work? Is it a book you’re writing, a song you’re composing, a goal you’re chasing and it’s proofing tough then you’re exhausted and depressed thinking you need rest? Relax friend , the wisest man of all time saved some advice for you, I quote :

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep : so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth : and thy want as an armed man

He warned that just a little sleep, a little REST, can make poverty run like Usain Bolt to our door steps.

Humans can’t be compared to God, but we can learn from God. It’s recorded in the holy book that God created the entire universe in 6 days and he rested AFTER he was done with creation. Just imagine how massive the creation of the universe would be like... For a God of unthinkable abilities, he created n created, never rested until he was done with creation. That act is a very big example for us all as humans, and more of a lesson for me — DON’T REST UNTIL YOU’RE DONE. As hard as it might sound, it’s sth we all should practice daily. Come to think of it, the best time to rest is when you’re done and when you’ve achieved — then your mind would be at rest and you’ll be happy, but when you’re in the middle of a task and you rest, you won’t be relaxed, your mind would be like — “I’m not done oh, I need to finish this stuff”. You might rest then but you won’t be relaxed.

For all those that love pleasure, King Solomon saved some words for you in his proverbs — HE THAT LOVETH PLEASURE SHALL BE A POOR MAN.

Here is a saying that’s keeping some people stranded- I’M NOT IN THE MOOD JOR , I’ll DO IT WHEN AM IN THE MOOD. I played PES (soccer game) recently with someone. I defeated him 4-2 , guess the excuse he gave to me?

He said “Guy na because I no dey the mood.” I was like JUST ADMIT THAT I’M BETTER JOR.

Listen, you don’t do what you feel like doing, you do what you need to do. Even though you feel like resting, do what you need to, keep pushing until you’re done. Just the same way your body is telling you to take a break, was the same way ELIUD KIPCHOGE ( A KENYAN RUNNER 🏃) feet’s was urging him to rest before he broke the world record in Vienna : finishing a marathon in less than 2hours.

Rest When You Are Done.
