Outgrow bad habits 😏

Knock knock

Is anyone here?

I'm very ashamed of myself getting more active on social media and leaving my blog to grow weed😟 but I honestly would not want September to just go like that without dropping by.

I hope you all are fine? Even though the stress that is stressing me is not from this planet. Lol. Well, my penultimate semester is gone. Yaaaay💃

Hmmmm, so this thing I want to talk about is almost very general. Can you remember that moment you are being corrected to do something right and you are like "leave me o, that's how I am" or "that's how we are in my family." That's not how you are, you've only chosen to repudiate corrections meant to better you.

So, someone I look up to was actually having a conversation with her mentees where she pointed out that issue as a sign of immaturity and yes, it is.

Please let's not confuse things o, there are certain things we do that we have the audacity to reply "that's just me" For instance, someone known for always dressing formal that was now advised to start wearing some sort of casual indecent dressing may say "thank you, but I'm always comfortable like this" politely.

In this case, the decline deals with our values that we can't sabotage for any reason and it's quite understandable but a bad habit is the concern right now.

I met a lady sometimes ago who eats snacks and chews gum to give people nearby headache. As in.... You will just be frustrated if you're sitting close to her. This person is a very big girl o. It's been going on like that and people always excuse her to find another seat.

I got fed up one day and decided to advice her as woman to woman. I was sha praying she doesn't slap me or embarrass me. The next thing she would say is "Urrrrh, sister, that's how I do on my own o, even my mum has corrected me severally, she's already tired sef." Enipe??? Like she knew she had a bad habit but she has intentionally refused to grow out of it. Wehdone ma.

You see, many of us are like that. That is how we give excuses for our wrong or improper habits annoyingly at times. We should not keep hiding under the yoruba adage "mo'wa f'oniwa lonje ore j'ore" (to simply relate with one for who he or she is).

We all know some things we do that are not right. It could be interrupting conversations, bad standing, sitting or walking posture, constantly using fowl languages, eating manner, laziness, extravagant spendings and so much more. They've all got to stop.

Don't be too difficult to correct! Don't be stiff and rigid in what's not right.

Grow out of that bad attitude and choose to be better! Stop saying "that's how I am" to things you should probably have stopped or outgrown.

Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗
