There’s no rescue team coming for you!

Life!

It has so many ups and downs, goodies and baddies, victories and failures, challenges and opportunities and on and on and on. The list doesn’t end. These contrasts or opposing events have their equal importance and contribution to our success. The question you may ask is, how can bad events build and help us grow?

I’m young and not old. I’m yet to see the places of my dreams and live the life of my dream. In my quest for a better life for myself, I’ve come to realise that everything works for our good.

Truth is

We all have those big dreams . We all know that at least, they’ll come true before we die. And that’s highly possible else we wouldn’t dream in the first place. Right? Correct.

Two sides of life

1. The good side.

Life has so many goodies. Which is obviously what you want. You want a good, better and the best life you could ever have. You want to wake up feeling like the best you can. You want to live your dreams and have the achievements and things of your dreams. I believe this is what every human wants for themselves and their loved ones.

2. The horrible side

However, For your dreams to come true there will have to be some happenings in the form of sacrifices, failures, challenges, disappointments and so many other things you may term as hhorrible.You will curse life for doing this to you. You will wake up each day and wish you hadn’t had such a life that sucks. This is one side of the story.

Balance and moderation

I believe that this life is ruled by balance and moderation. And as much as failure happens, it is balanced by the little successes that we have. As we face challenges so do we equally have opportunities. As we have disappointments so do we experienced surprises. It is simply the way of life.

The problem?

If balance and moderation is the way of life. “How else do we fail and hardly rise up?”, you may ask. I’d say that’s a legit question too. As much as life is balanced and moderate in what happens in the world so is there a constant. And that constant is what makes a difference. That constant is what is responsible for the rest of the things that occur in your own life. That constant will definitely surprise you.

You are your own limitation, you are your own success.

The truth of the matter is that you are that constant responsible for your life, not your mom, dad or anyone else. It is you and you alone.

Shocking, huh?

I believe your a lover of rags to riches stories. People who have defied life. Even when it got to times that seemed like life had gone beyond balance and moderation to try to keep them down, they rose life they owned life. They dominated and became victorious. These people are an embodiment of “Deep is the hunger”. Life may do whatever it can but the rest depends on you to turn the tables. There’s no rescue team coming. Sometimes it’s so easy to think that things will get better and you’ll have a good life afterwards. The problem is, you wake up the following day and do nothing about it. You wake up the following day and expect an overnight success. You wake up the following day and have great expectations of people. Now that’s the problem.

What you can do…

You have to decide. There’s no two ways about that. You have to decide that no matter what your life is what you want it and not what happens to you. Its easy to blame life for what happens to us. It’s so easy to wake and do nothing and yet have great expectations. But once you make that decision to take responsibility for each and everything that happens to your life, you would see the difference in the way you see things. Why does how you see things matter? Because that your paradigms of your life. Your paradigms determine what you do, how you do it and why you do it. So first things first, Decide! It’s not just about making the decision though. Its about following it up with action for what is faith without works? Nothing! Decide that you as a constant determines your life and you’re going to be the best. Decide that you are going to what the life of your dreams and achieve and impact millions of lives, if that’s your dream. But do this, dont blame and make excuses at life for anything that happens to you. Remember, life has its goodies and baddies. Your are your own limitation, you are your own success.

To do

1. Create an affirmation around your dream life and aspirations which reflects your decision. For example, if you want to become financially free you may write, “I am financially free and I live the live lf my dreams”
2. As is to yourself as many times as you can in a day. You can even write it down in several sticky notes and put them in your pockets. Anytime you see them, read to yourself.
