Sometimes the place you are used to is not where you belong. You have to stretch, you have to motivate yourself and see beyond yourself.
As humans, once we attain a level of success, we want to plateau there. Once we have mastered a particular routine, it is hard for us sometimes, to see what needs to be improved upon. We should constantly try to evolve. We should always strive to be better than who we were yesterday. We should never be too comfortable with who we are, and where we are. We should constantly assess our progress and push ourselves. Internal motivation is key. We need to come to the realization that something needs to be improved upon first before we take the steps towards it. We should constantly strive to be better.
If there is nothing to inspect, there is nothing to expect. There is always something to improve upon.
Today’s achievement is tomorrow’s mediocrity. When we constantly strive to achieve better than we did the last time, it helps us stay in focus and not get too comfortable. Most of the time we limit ourselves. We fail to see the potentials embedded inside us. We sometimes feel we are not good enough, so when we attain an echelon of success, we feel it is a one-time thing and can never be improved upon. It is a lie. Every achievement can be improved upon, it only takes a greater determination than the last one.
Aim for the moon, and if at least you fail to reach it, you can land on the clouds.
Renewing our determination will always help us to push ourselves to reach our potentials and not buckle under the pressure that comes with it. It only takes the right approach and knowing what works for you. There is nothing too hard for a determined mind.
These two living footballing legends baffle me; Ronaldo and Messi. They have won virtually all the trophies in existence and they are even creating new trophies for them, hahaha. They have broken several records and they have created new ones that would only be broken by another determined mind.
After winning several trophies; both collective and individuals, you can’t help but feel, what is next? They let you see what’s next by being better than they did the last season or even the last match. They strive to be better and they were not comfortable. They recognized there are things to always improve upon. Did they miss a penalty in this match? You will see them improve on that the next time. Did they score a hat trick (3 goals) in this match? You will see them aim for 4 goals in the next match. What baffles me about them is, after scoring 3 goals and they miss a chance that could have made it 4 goals, they still get angry. Whaaaaat? Really? They understand there is always something to improve upon. We should never get too comfortable.
