“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” …apology to Friedrich Nietzsche.
Our desire to achieve and live the life we desire takes us on a life journey.
On this journey, a lot happens. Some are within our control. Others outside our control. How we go about dealing with them determines our success and failure in all of it. At times, most of us fail because we have no idea about what we are doing and how to achieve it. And it’s all because sometimes, we feel like we have to do something for ourselves. It isn’t bad when you find the need to do something for yourself. But to achieve what you want, certain factors have to come into play achieving the life you desire isn’t possible without them. What are they?
You Need Enough Reasons To Inspire And Motivate You:
Everything we’ve witnessed in the world has come about as a result of reasoning. Therefore, the reason is the ultimate factor that gets us to do what we have to do. Without reasons, nothing worth doing gets done. Reasons get people to wake up in the morning to go after their dreams even when they don’t feel like waking up. It’s through it people do things that sometimes you aren’t able to fathom. It’s powerful, and if you don’t have enough of it, you’ll not find the energy to go after what you desire. And even if you go after, you will quit when the going gets tough. What’s your reason for what you’re doing? Why are you even doing it? Is it because you feel you have to do it because everybody is doing something? You need to know your reasons for that action you are taking, and you need enough of it. Because if you don’t, then you are likely to quit when gravity sets in.
You Must Understand These Truths About Life:
Success in life doesn’t take only hard work to come by. Before the hard work, our belief system based on the stories we tell ourselves plays a significant role. Your stories about your background, where you are coming from, what’s believed to be right or wrong, your parents have something to do with your success, what your community thinks is right or not, whether someone is responsible for things in your life or not, what’s believed you and can’t do, etc. All these stories aren’t anything and have no power over your life. The one who has authority over your life is you. Only you can make or unmake you. It would be best to believe that every story you or someone tells you has nothing to do with your success. If life will be like how you want it, it’s all dependent on you. You are your savior and destroyer and nobody else, not even your parents or family. Everything about your life is on you.
Don’t Work For Money, Work For Fulfilment:
Success in life doesn’t come from working for money. It comes from doing what you love and solving problems for people, which brings pride and satisfaction. If working for people brings success, most people have to be successful because they work for money. The opposite is true. To be successful in life requires identifying problems facing people and providing the answers stemming from your passion. This is what successful individuals, and companies in the world have done. It’s all about providing solutions for people based on their love and what brings them fulfillment. And doing the same is what will help you achieve the life you dream.
You Must Avoid Being People-centric:
One of the most incredible things that prevent people from living their dreams and the life they desire is others’ opinions. In pursuing a goal, if you want to focus on what people think and say about you, then you aren’t going to achieve that goal. The reason is that most don’t know who you are and why you are after that goal. Lacking understanding, they come up with all sorts of opinions and suggestions based on their ignorance. And without the courage to after their dreams, when they see you going after yours, they become jealous and do things to discourage you. Therefore, you must be aware of these and know that in going after your dreams, whatever people say or do is none of your business but theirs, and ignore what they say. Not doing this, you are likely to fall to their opinions and miss your dream. Something, many didn’t know and have become victims and failed towards their goals. Avoid people’s views and what they think and say at all costs.
Be Your Fan And Support:
In going after your dreams, you wouldn’t find people to support you most of the time. Everybody is busy being conventional. So, when you decide not to be one of them but different going after a life bigger and better than the narrative, most people will become disappointed and won’t support you. Everything about you and your journey will be a lonely one. Not even your family or parents will help and spur you. Therefore, you must have it in mind and be courageous and self-supportive when things turn out this way.
Conclusion:
Achieving a dream and living, your life is hard. It takes real strength and mental toughness to actualize to do it. But with that said, it is possible.
So, in going after your dream, you want to be mindful of these things and apply them. By doing it, every goal is achievable. I have done it, and although I haven’t gotten to where I want yet, I have achieved a lot, and you will too if you can make them a part of you.
