we can all agree that our luck is directly proportional to our efforts because we must place ourselves in a position where it would be very easy for us to attract luck. I just subscribed on X and within a few days i was able to reach 1m impressions and I have a friend who has been working his ass out for the past two months and he’s not up to 1 million impressions. I did not do anything different but I got lucky and one of my posts went viral. I did not just get lucky, I followed a pattern of a popular user on the platform and luck came knocking at my door.
most people see effort as something that is very stressful and that is why any time we set a goal that becomes difficult to achieve we reduce our target simply because we do not see effort as the problem. Most people don’t like putting their self in a very uncomfortable condition to achieve their goals. That is why most people prefer to always change their goals or reduce them in a way that will match their effort but we are wrong. Most people set a goal from the start because they have a vision and they know they can achieve it but they change it along the line simply because it gets tougher.
A little success makes us settle
we have two types of people when it comes to success, we have those who each time they taste success it gives them reasons to do more, but most people fall into the second category because they settle for what they are getting in the process of reaching their goal. each time we apply efforts, we might not be where we want to be but in the process, we might have tasted some level of success and settle, because it’s difficult to gain more. most people settle instead of going for more, they reduce their efforts to keep getting the amount of success they have instead of reaching the finish line.
some people settle because they get comfortable but most importantly some people just believe that they have had enough and instead of acquiring so much that they might end up not needing they just settle for the little that they have and manage it for the rest of the other days. most people are not like that because a human being's soul always wants more. most people settle because they can’t keep giving the amount of effort they are giving, so they are forced to reduce the effort and change the goal into their amount of effort output.
Effort don't lie
there is a saying that the way you lay your bed is the way you sleep on it. the kind of effort you give determines the amount of success you will receive, we must channel our effort into the right places so that we can get maximum effect on our goals and our lives. instead of adjusting our goals, what is needed is to increase our effort for there is always a certain amount of effort for every goal. always try to improve and increase our effort instead of changing the goal because settling might not do us any good.
Thanks for your time.
