How Do You Lay Your Bed?

HOW DO YOU LAY YOUR BED?


Brethren, frankly the world is not a bed of roses, and it has never been. So, for one to enjoy it to the fullness, he/she must had laid his/her bed aptly and in the right direction. Thus, you must endeavour to check and as well crosscheck your bed prior to bedtime.

Surely, in a land controlled by anarchy and confusion, the arbiter is the judge. This is not unlike observing a one-eye man amidst the blind. Even if you find yourself in any of the above mentioned shoes, either as “an arbiter” or a “one-eye man” as the case may be, courtesy demands that, you lead by example; or in other words, lay your bed in such a manner that it would be lied comfortably upon by the people concerned.

Few weeks ago during my business trip in Rivers State, Port-Harcourt precisely, the countenance of the bed of the hotel suite that I lodged didn’t really please my person. Therefore, I took my precious time to rearrange the bed to my taste in order to experience luxury while lying in it. Thank God, I had a wonderful and fantastic dream having done what I was supposed to do before lying in the bed.

Believe me, several people don’t really pay much attention as regards how their beds are arranged whenever they intend going to bed or the moment they depart from their beds having lied in it.

At this juncture, I ask, how do you lay your bed? Do you just lie in your bed without minding how it is being arranged, each time you go to bed? Or, do you take time to put everything in order to ensure that you lie in a smooth and decent bed? A question everyone is expected to attend, without any iota of hesitation.

I’m too keen about how people lay their beds before lying in it, because I’m strongly of the view that, that is the stepping stone towards actualizing a perfect or lovely dream. Yes, ones bed must be properly put in order, in order to embrace a fantastic sleep, and as well encounter a hearty and cheerful posture after the long-lasted sleep, nap , siesta, or as the case might be. Let’s ride on!

Mind you, laying a bed might be interpreted in many languages based on what is actually at stake. That is, laying a bed involves different dimensions regarding the object/goal of the person involved.

For instance, one who’s seriously preparing for his/her Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) is definitely laying his/her bed towards embracing marvelous results after the exams have been duly taken. In such case, if the candidate fails to prepare adequately before the exams come up, no doubt, failure awaits the candidate in question under normal circumstance, or all things being equal.

In the same vein, a man who intends venturing into marriage and is in serious search for the right woman, is also trying to avoid lying in a coarse bed, so that, he would embrace a happy home in due cause. But, on the contrary, a man who fails to take similar step, or who ignores the efficacy of lying in a bed thoroughly and consciously prepared, would surely be prepared to have a handshake with a state of doom.

It’s already widely in circulation that, “If one fails to plan, he plans to fail”. From my personal view, there’s no two ways about it; yes, it’s either you plan to succeed, or you plan to fail. And, the choice is yours. Honestly, the funniest part of the scenario is that, the choice is yours; thus, you must consciously make a right choice if you really wish to swim in an eternal happiness, or better still, eternal ecstasy.

You must cough up time to lay your bed in such a way that it would benefit both you and anyone who intends to share with your person. In other words, while laying your bed, you must put the people in your life or the people around you, into consideration in order to carry everyone along. Your bed may not only be used by you; others too, might be involved at the long run.

At this point, I urge every living soul to always endeavour to lay his bed adequately, so “Had I known” wouldn’t suddenly become his national anthem. Everyone is expected to devote sufficient time in respect to putting his bed in good shape.

Don’t forget, we all have a bed to lay. And, we remain the sole umpire that can control the laying of our respective beds; no one would do it on your behalf, because, as you lay your bed so you lie in it. Think about it!
