I NEED SLEEP

We’ve all been out there today going about our diverse daily hustles and bustles as is the norm. Be it school, businesses we run, employers we serve, communities we serve e.t.c  it is almost impossible not to flashback to the highs and lows of the day, our successes and failures, missed opportunities, sad at events that did not turn out exactly as planned by us and above all comparing all this to what your inner and outer circles of friends have achieved. Is it not interesting to see how social media in this era, has made that easy? At the click of a button, on facebook for example, you notice your newly wed friend. A fact that leaves you as the last man or woman standing in the singles club. You get to see your former high school or campus classmate’s latest ride and new house in locations you’ve dreamt off all your life that suddenly seems so mysterious in a manner likely to suggest possible connections to “Madam Anne Waiguru.” Haha, just saying, no hard feelings. Generally you get to view profiles of people you may or may not know in this global village that we now are and get an understanding of what life to them means, based on their ways of living

Personally I would love to just jump into bed and drift away into a world full of so many dreams. Some so sweet that we wish never to wake up but bec  ause I am only human too, here I am in bed, half asleep warming up my cold pillow as unanswered questions glide in and out of mind. This is how almost all my nights always are. But instead I choose to focus on me and me alone. I’m not self centred lakni, just that little precious Alone time we always like to have. So how was my day, any learnt lessons, given another chance to see tomorrow what would I do differently and above all, have I grown and developed, doesn’t matter how small the change is, but still, have I grown into a better being compared to who I was yesterday? Some very easy questions from sight yet complicated when given some thought, that I think count a lot. Only then can I get some rest with great satisfaction that atleast my valuable 24 hours,  freely given to us all, were economically used.

Sleeping is nice. You forget about everything for a little while but before I embrace my dreams throughout this night, how about I leave you thinking about this: “Don’t compare your results to someone else’s. You can never be another person, you can only be a better version of yourself.” Today has been cancelled. Go back to bed and embrace your dreams throughout the night. TOMORROW COMES WITH A WHOLE NEW LIGHT!!
