It has become fairly obvious that there are a lot of existential potentials we have, especially when we are quite young with a lot of years ahead of us. The moment you start being conscious of what you want to do with your life and the type of achievement you want to have to your name, that's when you will start looking at ways to use the potential in you to get the best possible outcome.
I would expect that to be the case for a reasonable person and that was certainly the case for me. Sometimes, it feels like I'm stretching mine a little too much, especially when I'm doing the little things I do now while hoping for it to transcend to something ridiculously huge in the future. I'm genuinely amazed by the ideas that hit me and the kinda clarity I have about the goals I want to achieve is always shocking.
This is shocking because where I am at the moment, despite being very different from where I was a few years ago, is still not comparable to how I would want the future to be.
Hah! Haha!
Am I being too hard on me?
It doesn't matter because I've gotten to a stage in life where I know that some things have to be said and it has to be said without mincing words. I know how to motivate and inspire myself, but I'm not naive about it. The truth is that life is happening and there are so many things I have to do to get the life I truly want for myself and my family.
Look, adulthood is not a playground.
Even if you want to remain a kid forever and enjoy the privilege of being taken care of by your family and friends without doing anything to dig into your potential and set your life straight, it wouldn't take too long for reality to catch up with you.
Like, how long will you continue to depend on what you get from them? How about you step up and put your life in order?
They say it's never too late to start the journey of life and that's true. However, the earlier you start to put your life in order by setting goals and making an effort to hit those goals, the easier it will become for you to increase your chances of achieving those goals.
What I always remind myself is that it's not just about the willingness to accomplish big things. Sure, being willing to accomplish things is an adorable decision to make, but you also need some skillset to achieve whatever you want. Start by learning those skills.
I assume you wouldn't want be that lad that has so much you wanted to achieve, but never made effort towards learning necessary skills that will help you achieve those. If you truly want to achieve big things, the time to start working towards that is NOW.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.
