At one point or another, we’ve all felt the need to restart life again, especially when we’ve made mistakes or when it seems like nothing good is happening at all. If our existence on this planet had a restart button that allowed us to start life over at any point we wanted, would I click that restart button? Yes, I would do that without thinking twice.
I have made mistakes, a lot of them.
I have taken steps that actually weren’t mistakes but didn’t go as planned.
I have had decisions I intended to make but was afraid of the possible outcomes, so I couldn’t proceed.
I have also had decisions I intended to make but, because I was financially limited, I decided to put them on hold and let life have its way.
And so on.
If I could restart my life, I would go back to those days, months, and years of my life and start properly, following better processes. Since I’ve now seen how life is and how it works, going back to one of those ages would do me a lot of good.
If I could restart my life, one of the moments I would love to return to would be the year I started school. I would choose to study another course in a different university, possibly outside the country. Taking the decision to leave Nigeria for my studies and possibly study medicine in one of the top countries of the world would do me a lot of good in having the best of life. Sometimes I just feel like the whole idea of staying in Nigeria is all wrong. Maybe if I had done that since I was in secondary school, I’m sure life would have been better by now.
Even if, while restarting my life, I still had the difficulty of relocating abroad due to financial reasons, the next thing I would do to make my life better would be to go into politics. I don’t like politics currently, but with the way Nigeria is, politics is one of the surest hacks to live a life of wealth and riches.
The politicians we have in Nigeria, none of them are suffering. They’re all living life to the fullest, with financial buoyancy. I wish I could restart my life and get into politics early. I can’t do that now because I’ve distanced myself from that circle, and getting myself attached again wouldn’t be easy at all.
Thanks
