WHOOPS...I JUST GOT SACKED!!!!
I GOT SACKED |
Yes, you read right, I just got sacked…#sad…
You remember the gist I gave you about my Eureka moment (If
you are new here, quickly click here https://momentswithtolu.blogspot.com/2020/04/my-eureka-moment.html
to read). So, after my Eureka moment, I got
clarity on what I should be doing and I wrote them down on paper. I was really
excited sincerely and I’m still excited o, don’t get me wrong because that’s one
of the best things that has happened to me recently.
I wanted to achieve these dreams I wrote down. I pictured
them in my head and smile and say to myself, baby girl you are on track. I
would even jot down ideas around it per day and draw diagrams for more clarity
I then discovered that I started to lose focus on the dreams,
I didn’t feel the same vibrations I felt when I had my Eureka moment, but I was
telling myself, I’m at the incubation stage, let me not rush it, I visited the book
I wrote down the dream every day although only when I felt like it. I started to share
most of my time with Instagram scrolling and WhatsApp chatting and slept some
more. I started to fall into routines and I felt something in me was not
properly aligned.
One day while I was reflecting, on my journey to take an
afternoon nap, #rolling eye… I remembered what my coach Olori always say “It is
not the same person that got the dreams/vision that would execute “and my mind stayed on the sentence.
Immediately, I was able to point out my misalignment. I realized
that my vision was clear but I didn’t have the execution mindset yet. And I knew
right then that the person I was at the time, wasn’t the right woman for
execution, I needed the skills of an executor, so I sacked myself …#Sad…
Laying off myself was the best decision to make at that instance. I gave myself a mental sack letter “Dear
Ayanfe the dreamer, thank you for being amazing and being able to dream and birth
a beautiful vision. The skill needed for this phase is disciplined
executor, we hereby request that you step down on your dreamer position and
allow the disciplined executor to resume with immediate effect. Thank you”
Then I recruit myself again with the mindset of an executor.
“Dear Ayanfe the Executor, thank you for accepting the offer of executing the
father’s dream, please note that in your new position as a disciplined executor,
procrastination is a taboo and the passion for excellence is the driving force,
we are glad to have you on board. Hopefully, you bring ruthless executor spirit to
the table. Thank you”
And then I went to my
Father, the revealer of secrets, to empower me for the new assignment as
an executor, give me eyes that see, ears that hear and the spirit that
perceives to be able to know the right steps to take, the right knowledge to
acquire, in short, to guide me through this journey because He knows the end from
the beginning.
He then began to teach me steps to take,
courses to take to enhance my execution mindset, I became empowered to do
the dirty work, I lost interest in chatting and scrolling Instagram pages. All I
was concerned about was getting the job done. I wrote down a short affirmation
to keep me abreast of the dream I’m trying to achieve.
Friends, I would encourage you to weigh your dreams against your
plans, are you balancing both energies, if not please sack yourself and recruit
the new the person for the job, the new person is inside YOU and the person is
always ready to come out. Remember “YOU ARE THE (WO)MAN FOR THE JOB”

ReplyDeleteThank you π€ π€
DeleteWhy are you talking to me?
ReplyDeleteYou see Me for Dream?
This is timely!
Thanks Tolu
Lol. Thanks for sharing this sir.
DeleteThank you so much π€ π€
DeleteI loved where you came to the realisation that spending time on irrelevant things such as trying to be updated with the happenings on the gram was you focusing energy on the wrong things and not getting the job done, and coming to a swift decision to layoff that side of you.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog because it is very relatable.
Thank you so much for your kind words π€π€
DeleteNot there yet but working towards accomplishing my dreams... thanks for this push
ReplyDeleteThank you Ma... We are in this together π€ π€
DeleteAwesome,I pray this new self keep yielding until the end in Jesus name. Weldone dear
ReplyDeleteAmen and Amen. Thank you ma
DeleteThis article!!! I hear you clearly! There is a time to dream and a time to execute! Transitioning from dreaming to execution would require intentionality and growth!
ReplyDeleteYes sis.. Thank you for the push always
DeleteWhen God uses his vessels to speak it's adamant we listen
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing yourself to be used
This is such a beautiful and helpful piece
Thank you Homie
DeleteI was thinking of a different thing when I saw the heading(lol). This is a very helpful piece. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kizito
DeleteThis is a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteExactly what i need to do.
So many dreams but no executor yet.
I have always wanted to write a piece like this. Feed the hungry and start up a business that would continue to run even when i have left the earth.
First advice is to get Hannah the dreamer to write her dream in clear words then lay her off to hire Hannah the executor.
I am definitely subscribing.
Yes ma'am... So right... You are on track.. Keep at it
DeleteDear Tolulopemi, my heart was pumping as i was reading this piece. I can relate to this. It takes only discipline to be a good executor and we need to wear that cap if we want to achieve our vision because note your vision is always bigger than you and vision is spiritual. Thanks sis. God bless you.
