You dey always throw away your own evidence

You don do hard things before, but you no dey count am. That one no be humility, and e worth make you look am well well this morning, before the day start to dey loud. Dem get one desk, one window, and the normal normal business for one room where person dey work. All the proof wey you need dey already behind you.

One pen wey you never use for a while. Dust dey turn for one small light near the shelf. One notebook wey get three pages wey you don use, the rest still dey wait. Somewhere, one car no wan start well, but e still start.

Every time wey you manage something wey hard, you go just call am luck, timing, or say the thing no reach as e be. So the next hard thing go come meet person wey no get record say im don ever manage anything before. See wetin dis one dey do: confidence dey come from evidence wey you remember, so if you throw away the evidence, you go dey forever start from beginning, no matter how much you don already survive. E no be humility. Humility na when you see yourself as e be, but this one na when you dey see yourself wrong, and na down e always dey point.

Use your own standard for yourself too. You no go ever gree make your friend explain away four hard years as just good luck; you go call am distortion, softly, and you go dey correct. If you use the same measure for yourself, the picture no go flatter you, but e go just be correct. Wetin you dey call luck na mostly say you show up for bad day, again and again, when leaving fit be option. Na the least shakara evidence wey dey, but na you be the only person wey no wan look am.

So today, write down three of dem for paper. Three hard things wey you don already do, write am plain, no qualifiers, no explaining say na small thing e be. Read the list one time, slowly, then keep am for where you go fit find am for bad week, no be for where you go just tidy am comot.

You no dey start from nothing. Na just say you don dey keep bad record for years, and the correct version go read far better pass wetin you dey expect.
