We all have dreams, the difference between all of us is whether we do something about those dreams. Do we chase them, do we take steps towards accomplishing them or do we just dream and fantasize and hope that they will materialize by themselves? I have declared this year, the year of action, the year that I put in the work to accomplish the dreams that I have. I have decided that, enough time has been spent on hoping and wishing for life to be a certain way. The only noticeable difference between me and the women I look up to and admired, is that they put in the work and make it happen.
A friend of mine said to me the other day that she is not looking forward to turning 30 and it was at that moment that I realised, wait!!! 30?? I am really getting old and the older I get, the older my daughter gets. If this was not motivation enough, then nothing would ever be. All parents want the best for their children, so I asked myself this morning, what will set me apart from the other parents? I want to be that parent who not only hopes for the best for the child but the kind who works tirelessly to ensure that, they bring the best forth.
Successful people are no different from ordinary people. What sets them apart from the rest of us is the work they put in. The conversations that they have, the people that they surround themselves with and the fact that, they are willing to be uncomfortable now in order to live the life they want in the future. Nothing of value is ever attained without some kind of sacrifice on your part and in order to make the changes that one hopes to make, you need to be prepared as well to sacrifice, compromise and commit. That is the only way up.
Circumstances will never be favourable, its the courage to start when the timing seems wrong that eventually paves the way and makes conditions go in our favour. So destiny is not something that is written in the stars for you from the beginning of time, destiny is what you create for yourself. Through your choices and what you choose to invest in. It is knowing that wishing and hoping doesn't change your position but work and discipline do.
This year I hope for myself, the passion and commitment to make my dreams come true. The faith to believe that God has destined for me bigger and better but that in the here and now, I need to put in the work to finally have all He has in store for me.

A lot of times we give the voices in our heads to rule over our lives, we allow fear to get in the way and we forget that we are the ones in control, this year I pray to God that I will be braver than I was last year, that will follow through with every single thing that I start, big or small.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord has heard and will grant you that which you pray for. I also struggle alot with doubt and not following through on things that I start, I am hoping to work on that this year.
