Quiet times

What to do with your quiet times?

So I was sitting here shortly after logging out from work and I suddenly realised how quiet it was around me. TV off, windows virtually closed because the flies keep coming in to disturb my peace with their buzzing sound.

The idea that came to me to break the silence was to turn on the TV or listen to some music. But I had the edge to do more than that. To do something useful with my time rather than drown out the quietness with some background noise or calling your friend to gossip. I remembered that I could visit the French lessons I had started 4 months ago, or practice some songs on my guitar so that I could do another lockdown jam session. You'll like that wouldn't you 😃?? (surprise below) Or read any of those books I started all the way from last year, two months ago and the book I ought to start reading for the Rich Dad Poor Dad book club (Sign up here). Better still, it would be great to spend time with God and enjoy moments of devotion.

There were so many ideas of what I could do. Actual useful things I could do with my time instead of trying to drown out the quietness of the moment. 

So that's a lesson for you and I. Stop trying to make noise happen when you could actually be doing something worthwhile with your time. 

The next time, it feels quiet and a little lonely. Go back to what you haven't finished and put in sometime to get it done.


Till next time,

Happy Living

Enjoy 😁😅

    You know, I wasn't going to reach for my headphones today, until I did. Grateful for that. I can imagine that moment when people are sitting around and listening patiently in silence until that very last guitar string vibrated. Thank you for good vibes!

My To-Be List for age 30 and beyond

My birthday is coming up soon. And for me I often see birthdays as an opportunity to reflect, review and set some new goals. Basically birthdays are like my version of New Year's resolutions.  Very soon (next year) I will be turning the big 30, And I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish, to tighten up and to break down ... especially insecurities. As you read my list, you'll notice that these are mostly mental habits or personal behaviours as opposed to physical habits. I was going to make a list of 30 things but I realised that would take too much time to read and would even take too much time to write in the first place. Here are a list of 10 things I would like to apply in my life on a daily basis (or as frequently as possible) by age 30 and beyond. 1. Read . I am a very slow reader. I mean 🐌 kind of slow. This makes me not enjoy reading so much. In fact, I think I can only usually manage reading for 20 minutes, afterwards I lose interest and switch on YouTube. S

Being Extraordinary

As promised, here it goes...my eureka moment finally comes into manifestation.  In my last post, I was trying to explain the roots of the name for the blog 'Intraordinary', which is basically made up of the words 'introvert/introversion' and 'extraordinary'. It was purposely coined as the name for this blog to represent the amazing ways of an introvert. If you are an introvert, you would understand what I refer to (hopefully). From my conversations in the past few days, I have come to understand that there might be certain aspects of introversion that 'stand-out' the most.  It's the shyness or quietness part that was attributed to introversion. I really don't want to start going into detail about the subject as I have noticed I am already ...     straying ....                   off ...                            course ... I will try to put together something soon, but for now back to "Being Extraordinary". For this moment, I put asi
