It Takes Time
WHO says anything and everything for our picking is right there for our picking? NO sirrrrrs, It Takes Time to achieve many things and goals we have set for ourself. It Takes Time for us to land our 'dream job'. It Takes Time for us to receive the sweet nodding YES of our 'dream girl'. It Takes Time for us to be driving our very first brand new car [of course, except if you were born with a silver spoon on your mouth, then your limo OR Ferrari will be for your picking. It Takes Time for us to be flying overseas for our very first holiday we richly deserve after working our ass damn hard๐ด๐ท๐ตIt Takes Time for you to get into your very first business or commercial foray. It Takes Time for you to break some BAD HABITS that got embedded within you for so many donkey years. All these we will hear from most people we know and yes, we can hear this in tons of online gurus focusing on self-improvement upskilling๐๐๐Problem is, most of us tend to set standards for ourselves at the level of Alpha males, Sigma males. We tend to blame ourselves if we fail to achieve our pre-set goals. And many of us tend to reach such a HIGH standard without realizing that we were pursuing unrealistically HIGH goals without a FOUNDATION. Dude, lest you forget: WE ALL NEED TO GRIND, WE ARE HERE TO WORK, WE ARE HERE TO HELP PEOPLE. WE ARE LIVING TO BECOME BETTER๐๐๐If we are 'DOWNGRADING', that means there is something wrong with us BUT that DOESN'T mean that you just randomly start working hard on an overnight SUCCESS. You might achieve those GOALS and get close to your GOALS even if you fail, which is GREAT! So you might ask me. 'DO WE HAVE TO GRIND THAT MUCH'? Answer is, it's neither YES nor NO. We are here to work. We are and we were NOT BUILT to stay in our beds 24 hours a day [NOT all people though]. Instead, we need to help other PEOPLE out there. Sadly, tons of problems are going on and many of them need our HELP. It depends on HOW you are right now. If you're starting out, it may NOT be a good idea for you to just BURST all your energy on Day-1❗❗❗
To borrow that old cliche, ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY. So, WHAT'S our takeaway today? We got to SET OUR EXPECTATIONS because many things may go awry simply because of misalignment of one's EXPECTATIONS versus the REALITIES in life. BTW, even nature, even plants do bide their time, so we should NOT be an exception either. If there is a huge gap between one's expectations and the realities in life, those disconnects can just widen the gap as time progresses and before we know it, EXPECTATIONS versus REALITY could be OCEANS APART. Quo vadis, dude❓❓❓
