Life itself is all about priority, whatever we prioritize works for us. At the same time the more attention we give to a particular thing, the best of result we tend to get back. This is why I believe in Garbage, garbage out philosophy, the life we live today is as a result of the decision and time we spent doing the things that has brought us to where we are today.
Personally, I don't joke with whatever puts food on my table, No! I don't joke with anything that brings me money, no matter how Unserious I might be with other things, when it comes to my job and side hustles, I handle it with so much seriousness and might. For the past 7 years I have been working and building myself, I would say it has been an amazing year, building quality relationship with different company HRs so that I won't be found wanting if I get to loose a job at a time.
I made up my mind not to misbehave at work, my colleagues remains formal people and not my friends, that's why most of the colleagues I have worked with often see me to be over serious, I am not trying to scare people away, I mean this is what has been keeping me afloat, I don't have support system apart from my job and side hustles, so why should I join the bandwagon of people with diverse support system to play? So when I lost my own job, I will crawl back to my room and start crying?
Secondly, I want to build a very strong brand that can stand the test of time, I know of a lot of people that are indispensable in their field of expertise and those are the kind of people I am emulating, yes! I just want to build a brand so strong that companies will never resist my profile anytime they come across it. I want to be an indispensable worker that will be worth a lot.
However, as much as I am very serious with my job, I find it really hard to strike a balance with my relationship life, this has affected a whole lot about me, I mean keep loosing wonderful partners because of this lifestyle. You know at some point, I do feel very lonely and the other time I just need a shoulder to lean on but then how will i when I am not even a calling, texting and even a visiting type?
Don't blame me much anyways, I'd been giving relationship much time before now but i was always hurt probably because I never had what it takes to take care of the union, it got to certain point I was always broke shame because of my broke state, since 2019, I have been taking my job and business serious, it has been the best years of my life but right now, I think it's time to strike a balance, I won't marry my job.
Also, I don't take socializing seriously, I find making much friends as bringing bad energy to my circle. Don't get me wrong, I've had wonderful friends who have been there for me till date as I always turned up for them but then I can't just make casual friends, anytime I don't go to work, I will be home doing my affilate marketing, creating contents or even seeing movie at home, this has been my kind of life, I don't even know what the outside world holds in stock for me as I am yet to explore it, or I may not forever.
In Conclusion
We all have priority, so if we get to see other prioritizing whatever we are not serious about, endeavour not to see them to be Unserious, do you and do what works for you, we all have our path to live.
