Go do Something…

Life is more than a game of chess.

Though the king dies, life goes on.

You see,

I just realized that the world goes on without me…

I know,

I know,

busy body…

you already knew this

but

do you reallyyyyyyyyy know this??

Do you know that when you die,

The world WOULD continue without you…

This realization hit me differently,

and I started asking questions like,

Why are we here?

What is the purpose of been here?

What happens when we leave here?

is there an afterlife?

Heaven or Earth where would I end?

are they even real???

A thousand thoughts hit me at the same time…

I decided to slow down with my thoughts…

and think it through

and it came to me,

YES!

I do not know what happens after we die

but what I do know is that

the persons that love us, will miss us…

and that was it right there,

At the end it of it all, it comes down to how we spend our time here…

The way we spend our time defines who we are — Jonathan Estrin

I read somewhere;

time flies over us but leaves it shadow behind…

Steve Jobs said;

“Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else’s life,

do not be trapped by Dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking

Do not let the noise of others opinion drown out your own inner voice

and most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition”

You got time

Doesn’t matter if you’re 40 years old

the current world richest man started Amazon at 30…

you got time to be better

you could be incomparably better

and

in pursuing that better

that’s where you could find the meaning in your life

and that would give you the antidote to the confusion, stress, and suffering

A lot of people come to me

saying, “I don’t know what to do, where to start from? or how do I take this to the next level?!?!”

that’s okay…

you’re not alone…

nobody usually knows at first…

Go do something!

do the best thing you can think of

put the best plan you have into practice

you know what they say

“put your best foot forward”

it’s not going to be perfect,

but!!!

It would change along the way,

it would change partly

because

you will become disciplined pursuing the path

and as you become disciplined

you become wiser

as you become wiser

you become able to come up with better and better plans…

so a small step today,

puts you in a position to take a slightly bigger step the next day

and that puts you in a position to take a slightly bigger step the next day

SO! Go do something,

Stop waiting around for someone to throw you a bone

You see,

Without courage, you’ll never start

And without consistency, you’ll never finish

If you are yet to start something,

or you are an office assistant,

or a Shoe Maker,

whether by choice or life happened

Fix shoes so well that you end up mending the shoes of Kings,

It doesn’t really matter what you do

But know this,

There is always a new level waiting to be unlocked

The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step…

Go as far as you can see; when you get there youll be able to see farther.

The true secret to success is consistency

Consistency because you cannot grow a forest overnight

Don’t worry about how far gone others are

or how much work you have in front of you

ultimately, it has never been about who the best is

but it has been about getting better

Your friends or competitors are not going to be engraved on your tombstone,

it’s you,

what you did with your time here..

your legacy,

So run your race,

and make it good one…

its you vs the Beast in you

and remember, in all your doings, Make sure to “DO THE MOST”
