Don't Just Be Normal

There are several occasions where you need to move out of the normal. Some situations can swallow you up if you don't act fast. You need to get up and act even when it is not normal, even when it is not your time.

You need to break protocols sometimes and leave the natural lifestyle. Let me break this down so that you will digest it intensively.

Imagine having an ill parents whose ailments is to be treated as emergency, but you don't have enough cash to foot the bills. At that point, you will be forced to move from your comfort zone to seek for help.

You would be determined to work extra hours and even engage in the kind of jobs you wouldn't want to do naturally. All of these you are doing just to raise money for your parent's treatment.

I have seen cases where young boys of 12 years or thereabouts hustle to feed themselves. In this case, they didn't just wait to become adults before starting to fend for themselves. This is probably because there was no other person to cater for them than they themselves. It would have been normal for them to wait till they get to the age of 18 before facing life as adults, but think of what would have become of them. They would probably die of hunger.

The fact is that there is no place in the world today for a normal person. You just have to go extra miles to fit into any position you want. Therefore, stop being normal. Move away from the normal place and do extra-ordinary things for yourself.

You can make it in life when you were still young. Do not consider it as a normal thing to build your own house when you're holding a walking stick. If it is a tradition to marry at the age of 40 or 50 in your community, do the abnormal by building your own home between the age of 25 and 30.

Normality is not in my blood, therefore, the unfavorable protocols of being a normal person must be broken.
