Hi everyone 👋🏾 🤗... My name is peace and it is the first time i am writing in "personal development" group... I was wondering lately if I'm doing good personally because i don't know the answers to the question and i started listening to podcasts and watching inspiring videos on YouTube and i discovered that, you might be winning in life and you might not be aware of that.
Life is a combination of positive and negative, is either you're winning or losing depends on how you have planned your life, the risks you've taken, the time you've invested in yourself, the skills you've acquired, the idea you want to achieve, and what you plan for the future for yourself and those around you.
I thought i had nothing going for me until I realized that
There are days when I just don’t feel like working at all and it might be maybe because I’m tired or not in the mood, or just plain laziness and honestly, I enjoy those lazy moments sometimes but I know I shouldn't get too used to them because i always feel happier and more fulfilled when I wake up ready to be productive and work toward my goals that i have planned for myself.
The more I choose to stay focused and consistent the more it shows that I’m on the right path and beginning to make real progress in life and not just delusional about my plans. Over time this mindset helps me build a positive aura and makes me appreciate each new day because i believe a new day means a new opportunity and even just one second can change someone's life forever and that's why I remind myself to make every moment count and not let a whole day go by without doing something meaningful.
I know myself better than anyone else ever could ever and i know what makes me happy and also what upsets me, what can trigger my anger and I’m fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses and also learning to accept and understand myself has helped me set goals that actually make sense for me and more importantly, helped me reach some of my goals.
I have actually realized since I started accepting who i amd that my success isn’t defined by my imagination alone and byt what other people think about me but it is defined by the clear vision i have for my life and the effort I put in myself everyday as long as i am breathing..... To be able to truly accept who i am, i had to stop comparing myself to others because i later understood that everyone moves at their own pace and i can't use someone else progress to define mine and if i don't get it now, i will get it tomorrow.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be perfect and I thought people can be perfect just like celebrities and the richest people but with time, we see them coming out to tell us they are also not perfect because they are human beings and being a celebrity doesn't define perfection.... Since then, i have come to understand that perfection just isn’t possible and no one can be perfect and whenever i have a winning mindset at some point I don’t try to chase perfection, i just focus on making progress and doing my best.
Social media has made it seem like people have perfect jobs, perfect friendships, perfect lives, perfect marriage and all these are just illusions because none is really perfect.
What i have also learned is that the closest thing to perfection is progress and as long as i keep moving forward, growing, developing, adding to my knowledge, helping people that needs help, supporting those that needed support and this means i am on the right path. I might never be perfect, but i will keep getting better and the more progress I make, the closer I get to my dreams and that’s when life starts to feel a little easier, even if it’s never truly perfect.
New skills are been discovered and developed every single minute and I’ve come to understand how important it is to make learning a consistent part of my life because theworld is changing fast and I never know when a specific skill might be the key to unlocking a big opportunity or even achieving the kind of success I’ve always dreamed of and one thing i learnt during my early stage is that "luck is not real, it's when preparation meets opportunities" .... You might say that's a lie that luck exist but if you have the luck to be a ceo of a company and you've never made prepation to be, do you think you would last as the ceo of such company?.
That’s why I’ve made it a personal goal to keep learning and growing whether it’s something related to my career, a personal interest, or a completely new field because i believe that every new thing I learn adds value to my life. Having multiple skills doesn’t just make me more capable but i believe it can give me an edge. It sets me apart from others, and in a competitive world, that edge can make all the difference.
Some are where they are now because of the gratitude they've expressed towards what people have done in their life and for that reason they want to do more. people tend to neglect the positive things happening in their life and they complain about the negative ones, for this reason, they don't show gratitude and this leads to us losing more opportunities than we can ever imagine.. we all need to show gratitude to all we have in this life, the people you have, the luxury you also have because when we lose one if this that's when you will know you've lost something big........ no matter how your day went always show gratitude because you being healthy and alive is enough reason to show gratitude.
Whenever you think about life in 10 years or 5 years down the lane you don't have fear of being a failure instead you have the confidence in yourself that you would have accomplished your dreams or you're on the verge of conquering your dream and also when you think about it there is this excitement you have.
Life is filled with choices, interests, positivity, and negativity, you know what you want and the challenge is how you can achieve it...... Everything you need is all around you and I regard them as the elements and it's up to you to pick the elements you need to form the compound (success) which you wish for.
Another day, Another opportunity
Thanks for reading 📜🧡🧡🧡
