I will get there,
I hope to get there,
Are silent thoughts each heart, mind and soul murmers to itself through the passing of time.
Most times, others will tell you what you already tell yourself. They will tell you that you will get there. They will say that it is not your time yet.
Question.....
For how long are you gona wait for that time to come around?
Where will you be when that time comes?
How prepared are you to embrace that time?
What do you have at hand to supplement that time?
Are you even sure you will still want that same thing when that time comes to pass?
There is alot more that you ought to ask yourself. I will not answer all those questions for you, but if you follow suit with this article, I am sure you will arrive at a realistic thinking.
Many are times we seek to achieve something. We grow up with the want to be something, take up that proffession, a lawyer maybe. This does not come out of the blue. There is always an inspiration somewhere. It could be that neighbour with loads of money. It could be that Television series that eludes the sophistication of a therapist. The business men that evaded your village with magnificent buildings.
Like I said before, people will tell you what you already know, you have to work hard, study hard, it might as well stop at that.
What I am trying to say here is you need to get out of that self pity and do something about yourself, ask yourself where to start from, if you can not get the answer to that, ask that person that you think is already there.
Now this is where the confusion comes from. Many tend to think that their footsteps will be the same as those of their icons. That's a wrong mentality.
Make or take your own steps. Human kind was created to be the same but different.
The SAME aspects depicts that what the other did, you can do.
The DIFFERENT on the other hand tells you to create your brand. You are your own self, you got to be different. You can do that same thing with a different approach or rather put a twist to it.
People are looking for what's different. Employers look for that extra potential you can avail them.
Researches are being done day in day out to improve projects.
Lets get back to the delusioned beginner who doesn't see things working out any time soon.
Let me tell you about a story about me.
I was looking at applying for the law undergraduate course at a university and for one to be admitted, they needed to have done a pre enty exam. Towards the date of applying for this pre entry happened to be a series of events thus I got taken up and missed out on the exam. I needed to wait another full year to sit for this same paper.
Devastation was the description of me then. I had resorted to waiting when a friend sat me down and said....
"Whether you do nothing now, whether you do something now, time will still pass. You are grieving about having missed that exam but what have you to show at the end of this one year of waiting. Do you want your life to be the same after or do you want to have made a difference by then....."
Delusions will not help you get anywhere, you have to do something now so that you be somewhere tomorrow. When you start now, that is how you will tell that you like something (what you are doing) and it's from that that you will base your decision either to move on with that particular line, or you might find that you are best suited to do something else.
And this is how you get to tell that u want different.
The trick to getting there is to start now.
You need people, work with people, make relations. Human nature can be truly annoying, but that one person that picks on you might probably know others that can benefit your cause. This is where you get to be mean, you use people to get what you want, perhaps it's the price they are paying for the insults you get from them. Connections are everything.
You could be an expert at something, but because you keep to yourself, the other mediocre man who knows people might land the opportunity before you. People suck, but we all need them.
You need to advise yourself. What others tell you is not always right, God gave you a brain to filter. The icon you are running to for help might not want you to be his competition in the future?, he might actually want to use you to get what he wants and keep you down. Yet you have the potential to do even better than him.
If your dream doesn't scare you enough to get chills, then you ain't dreaming.
It is nice to work for someone or a company but being your own boss is the best.
Don't wait for long, start now and the rest will find you there, technical know who is the ladder to achievement.
You can get there.
MEET YOU AT THE TOP.
