,

There is this common behavior I have seen in many people.

This behaviour is very unhealthy and most times, they do it unconsciously without really thinking it through.

Time and time again, I have witnessed the same result happen over and over again.

And it has subconsciously made me lose (some) trust in them.

And whenever they behave that way, I just pretend as if I'm in sync with them, but really I know what to expect.

And I will reveal this unhealthy behavior in a moment.

But here's a very important life lesson I feel you should learn if you haven't.

If you don't get enough sleep at night, you are not going to be at your best during the day.

I have fallen into this trap multiple times and I can tell you for free from personal experience that if you don't get enough sleep,

You can kiss your productivity for the day goodbye.

And many times I have tried to form "hard-man" and force myself to put in my normal best efforts during the day after not getting enough sleep the previous night.

And sometimes, I am able to get some things done at work (while battling with headaches throughout the day).

But once I get home from work on such days, the rest of the day is usually pretty much useless,

Because I am usually unable to get any other productive activity done -- especially with regard to my journey in the digital space.

So it's true and you should take your sleep very seriously.

Or else your body will just look at you one day and tell you...

"Wo ! Today I cannot can".

And if when you break down, you will have no one else to blame for your troubles.

Bottomline, make sure to get enough sleep as often as you can.

Health they say is wealth.

And if you're going to be wealthy, you're gonna lots of good health to enjoy that wealth long enough.

And to be healthy, you need a good amount of sleep.

Don't worry no one will die if you sleep for 7 or 8 hours.

Alright, that's enough talk on that for now.

Back to what I was saying.

The "unhealthy" behavior I see that most people have is this.

They don't keep to their word.

Many times, you will see people say...

"If X person tries Y thing with me, I will just do Z thing..."

Or

"If X thing happens to me, I will do Y thing..."

Or

"I am just waiting for X thing to happen so that I will just do Y thing..."

And though it's not (necessarily always) wrong to voice out your thoughts about your plans or what you intend to do...

• Maybe just to put the word out there and challenge yourself to actually do it,
• Or maybe just to send a message to the person you are referring to.

But where it becomes a problem is when you regularly and consistently say (you will do certain) things or you will make certain things happen,

And at the end of the day you end up not doing them, or they end up not happening.

I don't know about most people, but for me it's a huge turn off.

And subconsciously, anytime you say you are going to do something ( especially something drastic),

I will just pretend to believe that you are going to do it, but I won't expect it to really happen.

And in my experience so far, many times, the things this kind of people say rarely happen as they say it will.

For example, in my place of work, some of my colleagues that I know of have many times (for one reason or the other) threatened to leave the school suddenly or do something drastic.

P.S: They didn't threaten the school management directly... Just normal discussion between colleagues.

And when they say those things, it always seems like they are already gone "in spirit" but just waiting to manifest it in reality.

But most times, for one reason or the other, they remain there.

And I know that sometimes, circumstances beyond their control make them unable to do as they say...

Which begs the question.

Why say you will do something (boastfully) if you aren't sure it's going to happen?

Frankly, that's gutter behavior, even if I rarely do say so myself.

And if you do this in your business, it's going to seriously DAMAGE your reputation in the minds of your customers.

And whenever you say something, they won't take you seriously at all.

For example, those people who keep saying the price of something goes up in 24 hours and after the 24 hours, they come again and say the price goes up in another 24 hours again.

Whenever that person says that again overtime, his/her audience won't fall for it.

Point is ,

Before you say you are going to do something or make any threats,

Make sure you are in a good position (without any foreseeable hindrances) to make such bold claims.

Or at least put something like "God-willing" or "by the grace of God" or "hopefully" or "if all goes well" in your sentence.

This way, if or when that thing doesn't happen,

You don't come off to other people as someone who doesn't keep to his (or her) word,

Or even worse, someone who is not to be taken seriously.

I don't know if this makes sense to you, but that's all I've got for you today.

Hopefully you got one or two nuggets from this mail.

Have a lovely day ahead.

To your digital success,

King Danisan™.

P.S: I wrote this mail yesterday morning,

But before I could edit it and send it out, I got caught up with the day's work.

And when I got home late in the evening, immediately after attending a Twitter space held by Dolapo yesterday, I slept off.

So expect today's mail later today.

Peace.
