Here’s a life hack that I have learned over time

I know you are probably in church or you are even resting your tired body today. 
 
Nevertheless, today is not a workday.
 
And you have the whole day to recuperate all your energy in preparation for the new week.
 
So without going further…
 
Here’s a life hack that I have learned over time.
 
You see, I have this crazy anger issue or best put…
 
I had a crazy anger issue that if I am angry…
 
I prefer to talk and lambast the culprit there and then.
 
But I realized along the line that it’s very stupid behavior. 
 
Something that has ended my friendship with a lot of people…
 
Something that has made me distance myself from a lot of people like an alien.
 
So I made a mental sum to change that attitude.
 
And yeah, you might be thinking it’s a good thing to get angry and put everybody in their place.
 
But for how long do you wanna continue that behavior?
 
Exactly what I thought too and I changed immediately. 
 
But mind you, the change didn’t come immediately. 
 
I started in February when I was learning copywriting…
 
And it’s not perfect yet, but it’s already saving me from a whole lot of rubbish.
 
And here’s it:
 
Anytime someone or something gets me annoyed, I easily sleep over it.
Yes.
 
I will think about it a lot that I might use over 3 to 5 hours tossing on my bed from angle to angle.
 
But I will make sure I don’t talk to that person as at that time
 
Then I will sleep off while thinking about it.
 
And these days, it got better.
 
Because I cannot think about something for 1 hour and not get copywriting into it.
 
So it easily filters my thought and with that…
 
I have control over my anger to a very good extent.
 
And just yesterday, after writing a copy for a client. 
 
He checked and affirmed that this is one of the best copies he has seen.
 
I made sure I didn’t allow that to get to me.
 
And later, he came back, maybe after showing the copy to some people like him.
 
“Ehm Dolapo, is there a way you remove this and that?
 
And let’s also change this Big Idea.
 
Yada yada.”
 
I was just laughing because I was expecting it.
 
It’s your money but don’t forget you can’t do it yourself and that was why you hired me.
 
And that little way he’s trying to teach me my work annoyed the hell out of me.
 
But I don’t even have to sleep his own over.
 
I just told him I will create a second one for him including all he wanted.
 
But he should do me a favor.
 
He should test the two against each other and give me the report.
 
You see, every single word in a copy means something. 
 
If removed, the flow will break.
 
I should know this because I have been dissecting sales copies since February. 
 
I even started a 90-day copy dissection challenge and this is my Day 55.
 
So I know what I write anytime I write.
 
But as God would have it…
 
A client will always be a client. 
 
So I left him and I will create a variation for him.
 
That’s my work for today that I thought I would be resting.
 
Nevertheless, it’s all fine and good.
 
And I hope you have a very nice week ahead. 
 
Even though I already bombarded you with rants.
 
Dolapo Hamzat.
