Baby steps

I came back from school really stressed out and while gisting with my roommate, I realized something. We all have our dreams and things we expect of ourselves, most university students love to start making their money in school for one reason or the other. Some other people out there even with a certificate are still struggling to earn a living but there's something interesting you should know. There's something unique and special in each and everyone of us but the problem comes up when we don't tap into those things, when we leave them lying dormant in us. Some other people have found out that thing they love but instead they choose to venture into something different. Some people work today but are still not happy, have you ever asked yourself why they are the way they are. Do you ever bother to look into your life, check out your strengths and weaknesses, think of something you can do to make yourself happy and the world, a better place.

I learnt from a friend that finding out what makes you happy is like discovering a problem in your environment and seeking for solutions to it. If problems don't exist, there will be no need for solutions but the issue is that some people have become too comfortable in a particular place that they don't look out for problems or lacks in their surrounding and try to find a solution to it. Well, I'm not saying it's bad to be comfortable... not at all but that place you want to be, that place you wish to be in the nearest future, are you presently there ? If not, why are you feeling so comfortable in your present position or status, why aren't you making a move, what happened to your will and motivation, did you decide to abandon everything and just let life take you wherever it wants to? It's not easy to decide on something you want to do quite alright but if you don't do it, no one else will.

I want you to do something for me... Are you ready? Close your eyes, take a deep breath in and out, balance your body and let go of all your worries, after you've done that just let your mind take you to where you want to be in the next 5 to 10 years, how you wish to be living, how you want to see yourself in the nearest future. Can you see all that? Can you see how happy you are? Do you see the smile on your face? If you see all these then I want to let you know something, they are very much attainable. So tell me, looking at your present status, do you think there's progress? Is your present status or position a stepping stone to your dreams? Will it help you become that lovely version of yourself you see in the nearest future? These questions are left for you to answer.

Finally, I do not advice that you rush into anything without proper research. Any discovery takes time, don't rush in, it's not too late. I'm saying this because just like how economy goes up and down, any living being can do same. It's important to know the number 1 before 2 and then all others, so as it is important to know some basic things before venturing into something new so that when you fall, you will have something to fall back on. I believe that no matter how far fetched success might seem to be, it's always attainable and you should believe so too.
