Sometimes I wish I could outgrow my weaknesses. I have a lot of them that I wonder how I still break away and do something productive everyday. I can remember vividly how those weaknesses started, they're all tied to my childhood programming or maybe the circumstances that befell me when I was a child. I grew up suffering from an illness that hindered me from doing anything, even the Doctors advised that I should not be subjected to any work that required energy but instead of making me work on lighter jobs, I was never allowed to do any work and gradually sleeping on my bed became a habit.
But within myself, I knew if I gave a chance to those things that rendered comfort to me, my future would be in trouble and that's how I started to find ways to cope amidst the weaknesses, hence, developed by strength. Even though those weaknesses creep in from time to time, I have found ways to move around them. Hmm! I suspect that's how I manage to be productive.
MY WEAKNESSES
A musician once said
What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger
That speaks of my weaknesses, like I said, they're childhood programmed. Somehow I just can't help it but find ways to manage them.
1.A LITTLE SLEEP
I love to sleep. I could sleep for 24hours without feeling tired even if a lot of work awaits. I remember a time when I was sitting for WAEC(West African Examination council), my course mate would need to wake me up a few minutes before the exam for me to get ready , else that would be absent on my part. This little sleep most often discourages me from going out in pursuit of what I want. I prefer the comfort of my bed, thou, makes me lazy.
Yeah, I'm damn lazy, but I meet deadlines for everything. I could force myself into multitasking and soon I'm done with the bulk of work awaiting me. My lazy nature is always managed by my ability to Multitask and that's why most people may not notice how I delay before putting myself to work.
2.CAN'T SAY "NO"
I know so well that sometimes we need to drop emotion when certain decisions are required but that's not me, I'm too fragile that emotion overrides. I could give out my capital for a business to some random person and for some random reason because I feel he'll get hurt by my "No". I know several times I have hurt myself instead because the word "No" seems like a sacred word that's forbidden to be used.
STRENGTH
Let the weak say they're strong
Lol! I don't know if this relates to strength but the passage of the bible that says that encourages even the weak. I have earlier mentioned one of my strengths as being able to multitask in every given situation except if it's not possible. One of my strengths is the ability to Multitask. I could eat and drink water at the same time, hahaha! That's not inclusive, just don't count it. I could actually carry out two to three tasks in offices, I could even blog while I'm attending to a physical task , sometimes I read and do other tasks, or operate a PC and open several tabs that I work on.
Mystical Healing
I call it mystical because it's unexplainable. I could heal as fast as.... A cheetah, I'm referring to the speed. I find a way to heal in every situation, I could be hurt in a minute and the next I no longer feel the pain coming from my left chest. I just seem to heal emotionally and physically so fast and this helps me manage depression and other issues that drain one's mental health.
Adaptation
I learned of some species of plants and animals that adapt to the environment quickly. Yeah, I'm just like those species. I adapt to the environment quickly. Just a day of accomodation and I'm fine the next day. This seems like a natural blessing.
