Random Thoughts, Not Rants.

This is not a rant but just some random thoughts going through my head lately based on a series of events I've been seeing around me.

You've only got one life to live and you have to do it right. The popular saying goes "You only live once and if you live right, once is enough." Most people are miserable doing the things they don't even enjoy. They keep running around trying to make ends meet but with so much pain and anger in their hearts that would make them lash at you unprovoked. You can't help but feel pity for most people because they have been thrown at the deep ends of things and for some, they don't have a choice, at least for that period due to the number of responsibilities gapping at them to devour them if they take a moment to stop and ponder.

I don't know who needs to pick on this but try and find something that gives you joy daily. This world isn't easy and things keep getting harder day by day. It looked as though the system was designed to frustrate you and you can't help but feel hard done by. Make your happiness a priority and I know we are smart enough to know that it doesn't have to involve hurting others.

We have to do everything to be successful in this life and if you have to give up sleep for a while, please do. If you have to change your circle of friends, by all means, don't hold back. If you have to go on that date which you put off because you feared what your family members would say, as long as it makes you happy, please go for it. If you have to walk a mile extra without being at the mercy of those who are waiting to mock you, please walk it. We need to do things for ourselves because no one would do it for us.

Most people change their minds easily as some find it easy to change their clubs. I still don't understand how easy it is for some people to change their favourite club. How do you even change it? I can never understand it. Back in line... Some people change their minds so easily that they lacked the ability to follow a line of conviction through, which makes it hard for them to attain the desired change or success they desire. When you stay long enough at something, you learn about the things you are to do and not to do as you gain mastery at it.

It is important to know what you want to do with your life and go through with it. It makes it easier to follow that line of conviction and stay at it. What are you willing to die for? What are you willing to pursue to the ends of the world even when others think you are crazy? The grass is only green on the other side because that other person keeps watering it. What are you watering at your own end? If your side is grey, it's time for you to get to work and make it greener.

Weed it, rake it, gather it, plant it, water it...whatever you need to do in the fulfilment of your dreams, by all means, don't stop. Let others admire the greener pastures at your end too and it doesn't have to be only you admiring others. There is no goal you set that you won't suffer for it. Those who want to hit a certain financial target, they have to up their stakes and deny themselves certain luxuries just to attain that set goal. Most people want others to invest in them, yet, they won't even invest in themselves.

We need to influence the way we think, the way we feel and the way we act towards our objectives and it has to be intentional. You have to be able to harness your time, talent, resources and everything within your power to make your dream work. You can't put up a savings plan to start something you want to do and yet you want someone to commit to you his or her resource just to invest in you? If you are that viable as you are selling to others, how come you haven't invested in yourself since you are so sure?

We need to understand that when we are successful, it is for us and for others who we are able to recognize the same fight inside them so we can make their journey a little bit easier. Give humanity the best of who you are and it starts with you giving the best of yourself to your dreams, goals or aspiration. No one can believe in you as much as you would believe in yourself and I would know how much belief you have in yourself by the level of investment you are able to make in yourself.

Life is not easy, yes, but we have those who are still succeeding in it. They have found what works and if you won't ask the right questions, you would be one of the few that would always complain and yet won't make any significant process. If others can do it, so can you...but ask yourself, how badly do you want it?
