The Perfect Time? That’s Just a Fancy Way to Say Never
<p><strong>Dear Me,</strong></p><p>When exactly is the perfect time? Why do you keep moving dates, postponing plans, and hesitating? What is it you are so scared of? Why can’t you do it now? Are you waiting for a divine email confirmation or a sign from the heavens?
</p><p>So many questions, yet no direct answers. News flash, you’ll be waiting forever if you expect an angelic drumroll before making a move.
</p><p>You’ve done this before, haven’t you? Pushed things till tomorrow, hoping it’ll be easier. But let’s be honest, tomorrow never really feels any different. This is the world we live in, full of delays, excuses, and endless waiting for the "right time."
</p><p>But really, who would confidently call this world their home, especially in a place like Lagos? Yesterday was a mess, and I can only hope that today brings some order. But let’s be honest again, Lagos traffic alone is proof that waiting doesn’t fix anything. Does waiting ever truly make things better?
</p><p>Procrastination is a silent thief. It sneaks in, whispers sweet nothings about how tomorrow will be better, and before you know it, you’ve postponed your dreams into oblivion. But time? Time waits for no one. It has no favorites, and no care in the world. It simply moves forward, unfazed by your hesitation.
</p><p>So, why wait? Why overthink? If there’s something meaningful and worthwhile to be done, do it now. Take the risk, make the move, and silence the fear. Toss worry aside and step into action. Worst-case scenario? You learn a lesson. Best-case scenario? You actually succeed. Either way, at least you won’t be stuck in the eternal limbo of “I’ll do it tomorrow or addibin I knew”
</p><p>The perfect time does not exist (or does it?), the best time is now. And if you’re still waiting for a sign, well, this is it.
</p><p>With love (and a little tough talk),
</p><p>Me</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/pexels-thao-tran-72933920-8486825.jpg" alt=""></p><p><br></p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
