You vs You!

I was catching up with a friend who said he just got back from his family home in the county.
He met his family, uncles, parents, siblings…
He was pained that one of his uncles seemed to be in the same place.
His uncle came to live with them when he was only 9 years old
now he is 26 and that same uncle now 42
still operates the same way
speaks the same,
wears the same type of clothes,
Hasn’t left their county home,
Hasn’t left the small town,
he was almost the same person he was 17 years ago…
He was stagnant!

As living beings, not just humans,
we were created to evolve, we are not meant to be stagnant.
The butterfly evolves to reach its full potential.

Bacteria’s, Atoms, even leaves evolve.
Look around you,
everything is in constant Flux.

“Many times, the thought of trying and failing in itself is greater than the need to try.” “You must live your story.”

When you become stagnant and aren’t improving by the day, you are only moving toward your failure. Period!

The key to success is effort.

Behind every success is the effort!
When intention/ideation is followed by effort, success is just around the corner.
Applying effort is the key to unlocking your potential and escaping the trap of stagnancy

Effort to learn,
Effort to try the unknown,
Effort to take the first step even if you cannot see the entire staircase.
Effort to dare to do mighty things,
Effort is grossly underrated.

You see, as humans,
one of the ways we find satisfaction is in doing and achieving;
And what’s interesting is that we can only do as much as know.
as a man thinketh so he is...

“Man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall and will continue to produce their kind.” — James Allen

In today’s world, ignorance is no longer bliss..
We live in a paradigm
where we can only act based on what we know.
So we need to put in the effort to be in KAIZEN “continuous growth”
and have the courage to go;
go as far as you can with where and what you have
and know that when you get there you would see more.

When you do put in the effort
and you don’t get the desired result, do not lose faith.
Life was designed to have failures and successes side by side.
Failure in itself is a form of success,
You have to learn to accept disappointment, especially from the ones we love
More pain goes on in our imagination than in reality,
You’ve got to keep finding better ways to run your life.

In order to reach your ultimate potential, your personal best, and to make the ‘impossible’ possible, you need to push yourself,
go to the absolute limits, and definitely not fear failure.

Stay Inspired
Dare to do mighty things
Do the most!
