Our aim as a human being is to find ourselves in a position that suites us which is why we are always thriving on a daily basis to be better. We always hope for a better future which means that our presence situation we find ourselves into always need a progress to be better than the present and previous one. However in every cases it needs planning because for you to achieve something good in life needs planning and action to accomplish it.
If i had the opportunity to advice my younger self for 10 minutes will probably go a long way with the present situation i am experiencing. Growing up as a kid always feel like the future is surrounded goodies without much stress in getting it which is not what we are witnessing at the moment because for you to get to that destination you seek to achieve requires you working towards it.
The first advice i I would give to my younger self is to never give up in whatever thing i am doing because that will really help in giving confidence that your aim can be achieved without the challenge that might look like a distraction. When you find yourself in a situation that looks as if nothing good is coming out but your putting in more effort to achieve something that still shows that you believe something good will come out someday so it is to keep pushing for better days.
Another advice that will really help to be in a better position in life is to avoid procrastination because that however is a set back in life when you have a plan in doing something but avoid taking step in putting it to action instead it is been backed up by excuses. Procastination is never a good mindset or aim to follow because when you postpone something you intend doing it shows lack of seriousness which is never in a pursuit to achieve goals.
Comparison also is what i will intend to avoid because when you start comparing yourself with people at some point it will want to turn you down most especially if it have to do with people of your age mate that are doing well than you. All fingers are not equal which is what we need to understand so as the time for everyone to succeed differs. comparision to other people who are doing well than us will want to bring out a mindset that our effort is not really worth it or may be considered as a waste of time.
But when you believe that you can also get to that destination will bring out the best in you to do more in achieving more goals. No one is perfect but our everday hardwork, effort and consistency will really go a long way changing things for good. Putting this advices altogether then working towards it will really help my younger self to grow mentally and financially.
