A CONCENTRATED FOCUS!

***

Few weeks back, I visited a federal relaxation park somewhere in the heart of Lagos for the purpose of studying and listening to a virtual paid training.

I wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful where the flow of assimilation and inspiration will hit me so hard.

Of course, I don't like studying or doing my thing in a noisy environment and so I made a fast move.

On getting there, the calm atmosphere that welcomed me in, made me exclaim in wonder.

This is it! Yes, this is what I ever wanted. I muttered to myself.

And so I moved in, beaming with all smiles. Searched around for a comfortable place where the Holyspirit can talk to me. 😊

The moment I spotted a cool place, I grabbed my seat and began devouring contents and as well prepare my coaching lesson notes.

I spent hours over there trying to figure out things and map out strategies for growth.

While studying, some set of people came in and requested to use my table for shooting and that they won't disturb me.

I was like, shooting?

Why not use other vacant spaces where you can comfortably handle your task?

From all indications, permission to use this space with me will only spell distraction from my end.

When I noticed his plea was beginning to have effect on me, I had no choice than to allow them use my space.

I was just praying within, "God please help me maximize my time here with this distraction that has presented its face before me."

And while I was yet praying, they were making moves to settle down and then, there was a sudden change in plan.

The leader pleaded with me, "Ma'am, we're sorry for distracting you, I think I and my team will use the next available space."

Oh God! I was excited and I couldn't contain the joy of an answered prayer.

After the whole ceremony of studying till late in the evening, I made my way to leave, feeling fulfilled.

When you see me study, you will think I'm a student preparing so hard for an examination the next day.

That's how much I love studying and attending trainings because I desire growth.

As I made way to exit the premises, the security in charge beckoned on my attention and made a striking line, which made my heart raced down on why he made such lines.

He said, "Ma'am, since you came in here, I noticed you were all by yourself studying. You didn't come with your partner for fun as everyone here had one partner to themselves?

Wow! 😲

Partner?

Fun?

I smiled yet lost in the euphoria of my thought..

.

Story continues!

In my mind I was like, if only he understands my essence of coming here, he won't add fun to his statement.

We laughed it over and I vamoosed the premises in a blink.

I do hope you're picking something?

Okay, read on.

Some other time, I set out to another location, a government library per say.

On getting there, I discovered the place was shut and they've not resumed for the year yet.

Oh gosh!

What do I do?

I asked myself.

I began thinking on my next line of action and like a flash, I got a plan.

I went straight to the security in charge and pleaded with him to allow me use a portion of the premises to study. I came here for a purpose and I can't return back without actualizing my day's goal.

Without bantering words, he immediately accepted and ushered me to a calm spot.

As soon as I settled down, I began unleashing my core aim.

While engrossed in the depth of my study, a police SO who has been watching me all along without my awareness, approached me and began questioning.

He asked, "are you a student? Are you planning for an examination? What level are you, in the university?"

Rains of questions slapping my face, begging for answers.

I just smiled again 😊 and said within me, if only this officer knew the year I graduated from the university, he won't ask if I was a student.

But in the real sense, I am a student to many coaches who have groomed me to becoming a better writer today.

To me, everyday is like attending classes.
