We all have that friend or family who is constantly waiting to be pulled up.
They want you to do everything possible for them to make some success.
They just wait for you to drag and drag and push and push them.
Listen, we all have 24 hours in a day. No one is allocated any extra. If I waste 8 hours in a day dragging you, I have messed up my chance to run my own hustle for the day.
Dear Dragger, be careful before the Dragee (or the dragged) pulls you down.
Yes, by all means help a friend who is down, by pulling them up, however know your limits.
When a person is drowning and you try to save him; if you arent strong enough, he will drag you down too and you will drown along.
So, drag with wisdom.
Dear Dragee, you sidon there dey wait for push. One push, you sit again and wait for another. Second push, you sit again.
They give you business idea, you ask for capital, they give you capital, you ask that they write the business plan, they write the business plan, you say you cannot sell, the write proposals for you to drop off, you say you cannot go alone, you are waiting for me to leave my business and come and be following you around to drop proposals and do your marketing.
After two weeks of doing that, I would have successfully lost so much revenue and work time, yet, you are still down.
Listen to me, when you get one push; you better drag yourself accross three pushes. You get another push, you drag yourself accross five pushes. If you sit there and expect that people will spend their whole life dragging you, sorry is ya name.
Do not destroy another's hustle with your own lack of drive. If you have no drive, by all means, sleep all day, eat nothing and life goes on. Stop disturbing people to leave their lives and be dragging you when you honestly know you have no iota of interest in pushing yourself.
If you suspect that your lack of drive is more emotional or spiritual, please speak out and ask for help. Do not allow the Dragger to kill himself dragging you, when you know the problem is deeper than normal.
Dear husband, this woman has dragged you for 5 years since you lost your job. You say you cannot go and learn a vocation with people younger than you, you say you want only a corporate job or nothing, you say you cannot go from Lekki to Ikeja everyday because it is far, you say you cannot do a job that the boss is younger than you, you are singing all sorts of excuses from your mouth.
Yet, the person dragging you is pregnant, works far away, works for a boss who is mean and aggressive; yet, keeps the job to sustain you.
Dear brother, you say you will not learn that trade because your elder brother has money enough to set you up overnight; so why is he asking you to learn first. He should just roll out the money.
Yet, your elder brother is still enrolling for more courses to keep learning and improving himself. You, who knows nothing, says he should just bring the money.
Dear wife, you wont stand up from the bed until 11am. Attend women busines events, no. What business do you want to do? I want to travel and sell clothes. You have travelled and sold twice, capital plus profit, nothing seen. More than half of the clothes are stuck in boxes in the house.
You wont go out to sell. You wont learn how to improve the business. Nothing, nothing.
Today, you complain you are overweight. Tomorrow, you say he doesnt care about your business, thats why he is looking at babes with red lipstick. Ah! Woman, drag yourself oooo. Leave all that story.
If you are someone who is currently being dragged, this post is for you.
Drag yourself.
Drag yourself o.
Drag yourself ooo...for it is wickedness to pull another down, in the process of dragging you.
