I have been thinking about a whole lot for the past few weeks. We are in the seventh month of the year and prior to this year, I had a lot of goals, ambitions, resolves, to-do’s, and all that, but recently, I have thought hard about my current stage in life, physically, psychologically, emotionally, educationally, professionally, relationally, etc. and I can say that I have made ample progress since this year. But like all humans, I tend to overreach and forget my current progress and milestones.
I am a lazy person “by nature” and I have learnt that nothing is set in stone and our use of “by nature” is just an excuse. I have been in multiple situations where I have to work so hard, so fast and so much that the word lazy doesn’t come to mind when you see me. I have a higher thought process going on and I don’t really shy away from work as much. One of the thoughts that have been weighing on my mind has been the matter of money. See, there are just a few things more important than this subject and throughout my growing phase (which is still happening) I have learnt a lot of things on this matter.
They say big organizations and real successful people don’t talk much about money in the sense of it as a drive. But they talk about a vision, a purpose, a goal that pushes them into action that makes money as a by-product. Then the big question becomes, what should be this purpose or vision for me to pursue? I have been in the tech space for over two years; I have learnt my skill well, even though the learning journey is a lifetime. I still get this little jab at the edges of my consciousness which is, what comes next? How do I proceed from here? What do I learn next? How do I create value that will produce money and wealth in the long run? Who do I need to meet and connect with? And so on.
Lately I have also been facing the “A” student danger on a whole other level. They say the “A” students are the most broke and almost all of them work for “C” students, because they overthink, overanalyze and can’t take the first step, hence getting stuck and going nowhere, drowning in their uncertainties. I am an “A” student and I wouldn’t want to have this kind of fate for myself, therefore this at its root is the reason I’ve been thinking real hard on the value I can create. Also I have surrounded myself with people who spur me on and who want to see me succeed. People who motivate me and who I want to emulate. Therefore it all boils down to my actions going forward. Will I succumb to indecision or will I break through and take the step even if they are wrong?
With all that is at stake, and my disgust for poverty, I am taking that step, come what may!
