The Ghost in Me

Hey wake up!..its 12 in the afternoon.

It alright..its a Sunday, what's the big deal? Give me a break, I deserve a well-deserved sleep.
Yes I do. I deserve a well-deserved sleep...

No...You don't. You shouldn't..Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!

Alright! I am UP!

Go to the pool..Swim, you need to, you planned it two days ago. You said you would, now you should. Go to the pool, be there for an hour. Swim.

OK, Fine...Let me wash my face.

OK.

I wash my face, put on my trunks and go downstairs to the pool. There's a few people there, mostly tourists and business executives. Some in the pool and some lying down in the chairs. I quickly wash myself before I get into the pool. I enter. It was refreshing, it felt good. It got me active. It took me 37 minutes to take 15 lengths. I relaxed after that for another 10 minutes. Then I got up to wash my myself in the shower and sat down to in one of the empty chairs to relax for a bit.

It was 1 hour 10 minutes...

Get Up! Come back home! Its time to work on your project. You need to have it delivered in the next 2 days. You need to complete the last bit. So get up! Now!

Ok! Fine, I'm UP!

I head back home. Freshen up, grab a smoke, then sit infront of my laptop to begin working on my project. After 2 hours and 12 minutes, I am done. I complete the project which I kept pending for almost a month. I finished it...O the satisfaction..I felt alive and happy. It was complete.

Hey! Thank you for pulling my leg, I feel awesome now.

Yes, I know..You should feel awesome, you deserve a drink. Go grab yourself a shot of whisky and play some 'chill-out' music. By the way, have you fed the cat yet? Oh yeah, you didn't, do that before you relax.

Sure, consider it done!

I feed the cat, then get my whisky glass from the kitchen cabinet, put some ice-cubes into the glass and then cover it with some of that tasty Irish elixir - Jameson..I play some deep-house music and then relax in my living room sofa. I loved the sofa's! They are really comfortable. Especially when you have a smoke in one hand and a cigarette in the other. It felt like a well-deserved treat.

After my second sip, I let my thoughts run loose. I think about spontaneous things. Occurrences of my past. Things that if I wasn't so relaxed, I would never have given a shit about. But I feel good thinking about those things. I felt happy...

In the span of 4 hours, I have 3 on-the-rocks and 4 sticks. Then felt a bit lethargic, so went to my bedroom to lie down and watch some series online.

I get up from bed after an hour. Do some push-ups on the floor. Wash my face. Go outside to grab some food. I felt like having some Arabic food tonight. I went to the Arabic restaurant infront of my condominium. I liked their food, it tasted good.

It was almost 5 p.m. I called up a friend to check on what he was doing. He was not doing much, so asked me to drop by. He couldn't leave the house, because his wife was pregnant and was nearing her 4th month. He was a nice guy.

I left my house, took a cab and went over to his place. He had a bottle of whisky, so we began drinking and having a chat. Talked a while, business, philosophy, politics...mostly guy talks. Felt good.

I left his house, a bit tipsy, waved at a cab, came back to my condominium.

You should go to sleep now, ...You have work tomorrow. Try sleeping before 11.

Sure, I will.

Have a glass of water before you go to sleep. You don't want a hangover tomorrow.

Yup! I sure as hell don't want a hangover on a Monday!..heh..

I change and get to bed. It was 10:48 p.m.

The voice now becomes a whisper...

You did good today. You followed through. Today you have loved yourself. Today the 'Good' conscious had beaten the 'Evil' one. If you do this more often, life will be different for you... Wealth-Power-Love..the three dogs or masters for every individual..Today...they were your faithful dogs...

Wealth...you finished your project and had it delivered to your client...you didn't delay any longer, like you did before. Tomorrow you shall bear the fruit when you see the numbers in your Bank Account...increase.

Power...You Swam. You did push-ups. That is power. You had the power to do this. Your 'Will' to decide doing these fruitful activities today, when you could have slept the entire time and lazed around the house. You didn't...

Love...the most deadly of all three...what you did today, was only possible if you loved yourself..if there was no love for yourself, neither the wealth nor the power could have been achieved...but you have done it...

KUDOS! my friend....kudos..

I went to sleep..and the Ghost switched off the lights.
