DON'T BE PRESSURED

...

For a period of time, I used to hate myself whenever I see people's achievements similar to my Dreams. I so much wanted to be successful that I want to cut as much time as possible to get it. The funny thing is that  90% of those I compare myself and results with are people older than I by far..

But nevertheless I wanted to get those results. It got to a point I couldn't even see any reason to go to school anymore. I felt like leaving school and focus on work to get these results quick. I visit my vision board frequently and analyse the routes to my dreams. I had too many things on my mind and so many goals to get. I was literally obsessed with results that I don't even check my age. Funny😊

I'm still in my twenties, but I measure up my life and goals to the standards of Great people, because I desire it. 

Now this is not a bad thing. Infact, this phenomenon, if controlled and nurtured well, is one of the best approach to success;  but it brings unnecessary pressure and when it strikes back, leads to frustration.

I began to get myself back when I submitted to some mentorship. I learned a lot about growth and process. Now I can tell you about Mentoring, but that's not my agenda in this article.

 

I understood that every enviable results are achievable but the right formula has to be always applied to make it perfect.

I learned how to go through process; how to begin a work and consistently work it out; how to develop passion for your Dream; how to increase Zeal and vigor for your pursuits; how to earn smartly and not with hard labour unlike our popular slogans for diligence. And so many other lessons. I dedicated more to learning than pursuing out of covetousness. 

A wise Man, Abraham Lincoln used to say.. “ if you give me six hours to chop down a tree, i will spend the first four hours sharpening the ax. ”

This means dedicating yourself to growing and preparing yourself and save yourself from unnecessary pressures and fruitless ambitions.

If you notice from my writings so far, I've not mentioned how anybody pressure you, my article here is focused on the pressure we put on ourselves by ourselves.

You can achieve anything you can ever imagine. Just dedicate more to growth and process, and every other thing  will be in place for your lifting.
