The what-if syndrome has been on for a long time, dating back to......
Well I don't know
But what I do know is, it has robbed so many people of their happiness, hindered so many people from taking opportunities, unstable so many lives and you know,
A national anthem for many.
Now let me ask you?
What if you succeed? what if you are accepted, what if the job comes through?
What if it works out? What if they love the write-up? What if it fails? What if you don't succeed? What if you flopped the interview?
How will you know?
Well, you can never find out unless you try it.
In my short stay here on earth, I have discovered that life is not a constant but a variable, and your action determines what the outcome will be, the only constant thing there is change so give it a shot.
There will only be a variance if there is an actual, so how can you determine how far you would have come if you haven't taken any step?
While we care about so many things that don't matter, same way we ignore the things that matter.
The fear of the pain it may cause us if we fail. The pain is inevitable, we must go through it at one point or another, so we should let go of trying to resist them.
The more we try to resist them, the more pain we cause ourself
Regret is one big form of pain
The regret looking back years from now and wondering why you didn't take an action, or why you didn't take that first step
The guilt of not starting
This is a guilt we have to live through when we realize how far time has gone, how good we would have become only if we had started then, only if we had learned that skill, only if we had listened.
We sometimes fail to see how our input of today will become our output tomorrow.
When we see other people's journeys we always see their progress but we fail to see their trial and error, their tears, their pain, their all-night practices, and their sacrifice.
It's high time we stop imagining our progress but yet we don't want to wear the shoe not to talk of taking the first step
Success will always be on the other side of progress
So stand up and start whatever dream you have had for the longest time now, only when you start will you progress.
Create a routine that works best for you, when I say best, it must not be comfortable, but it will help you.
Design a reading schedule that works best for you,
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Practice if need be
Cut off anything distracting
This is like a season of planting, so like a farmer, you gotta plow your land, avoid distraction, make ready to seed, and sow your seed, water your seed very well
so you will have fruit to harvest(ps. I am talking about your skill)
I hope this comes as useful to you as it was to me
Thank you for stopping by
