What really does it cost to truly live the life I desire, I thought to myself lying my head down on my pillow.
Is these all you want to be! Average, common as my mind painted various mental pictures of a defeated young man. It was building up obstacles in my imagination. I immediately decided to depreciate every so-called obstacle.
I instead wanted to truly enjoy,live and love my life, to be uncommon, be different and live by a higher standard.
So what was I supposed to do? I barely had anything, I was lost, not knowing which direction to take, where life was taking me...
It really wasn’t a smooth ride but my conscience tossed me from thought to thought till it impelled me to make changes .
I thought to myself “changes” , it was literally impossible to try and change my circumstances, my mind thought of all the difficulties and hardships involved, since it meant that “ I had to push harder than yesterday, if I wanted a different tomorrow”.
The first thing I had to do was to convince my mind to want it before I could even get it.
Then I decided to go through the following three steps
• Educate myself
I was young,broke ,dumb but had strong passions and dreams but very litttle wisdom and knowledge.
I had to get rid of the old, to make room for the brand new things that I truly wanted. I decided to go through lessons, read so many things in order to gain some wisdom. This greatly improved my personal development and positioned me for employment opportunities.
• Discipline myself
I had to discipline myself both inform of habits, finances. I really had to work extra hard here to try and change my behavior, I remember the first couple of days were so sad that I almost gave up.
In order to experience the new things, I really had to live through the hard times, I had to trust the process and believe that all will become beautiful in it’s time.
• Learn from my failures and also from successful people
Life stories of others greatly helped me a lot since theirs was quite complicated compared to my mine. This encouraged me to push on.
All am saying is that, life might be difficult sometimes but it’s up to you to change it, to “find a way or fade away”. You cannot embrace your future, new changes while your thoughts are around your past. KISS IT GOODBYE!
Your passions are strong but your wisdom is little. Every each day try to improve yourself,be yourself,really work hard and smart to build yourself the life you truly desire.
