Minutes
turned to hours, hours turned to days, days turned to weeks and now we’re here.
There is no excuse for this sort of procrastination, I might say I have been
swamped with work and I don’t even have time to breathe. Yet every time I say
No, Rerelolu you won’t stop writing, you need to continue people are waiting. It
feels like I am trying to convince myself more than I’m trying to convince you
guys.
A
wise uncle of mine once said to me; you can alter the pace but don’t shift the
goal post at every chance. And you also know what they say, a rolling stone
gathers no moss. It is better to have long term goals and break them into short
and medium term goals than to have short term goals that you only cook halfway.
One
thing I’ve realized is that it’s so easy to want one thing but get distracted
so much you forget that one thing you want. So many of us are confused about
what we want, forgetting that there is a difference between a want and a need. The
same mouth you use to call it labor market is the same mouth someone else calls
it favor market. The difference is that they have a clear cut dream they are
chasing without stopping to attend to distractions.
I
have realized there is no such thing as a hopeless situation, there are only
people who have hopeless attitudes. When I started this write up, I did not
know where I was headed. Now I think I have a direction and that is addressing
the confusion among many people (both old and young) in the world today.
I met
someone recently who has big dreams, she’s relatively young with commendable
achievements for her age. The issue is that she wants to do everything,
entrepreneurship she’s interested, working for others she’s also interested. If
you say real estate, she will be interested, talk about farming, marketing,
just name it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the zeal and I think it’s amazing how
her mind works and how hard she’s willing to work for her success. But then
again doesn’t it seem like maybe she might be swamping herself with every and
anything just to get rich quick? Or what if that really is the way to go?
When
people would ask what my career plans are, I would give a long list of everything
I want to do. From owning my chain of companies to producing my TV show, to empowering
young people, to public speaking, modelling and acting and definitely fashion
designing. Yes you might say ahnahn, sister calm down but as my mother will
say, nothing is impossible. Also many of us have allowed our families and the
society cage us into believing that some things are the norm and some other
things are “impossicant.”
I
read somewhere that if you want to achieve greatness, you need to stop asking
for permission. So my question goes to everyone who is just as confused as I sometimes
get about their goals and how to achieve them.
Would you rather do all the
many things you want to do at the same time or would you just take one route
and see where it leads.
