A robotic life, I live. Everything structured and well thought of, can't afford to have any loose ends. How can a human be terrified and amazed by uncertainty? This is the reality of my life. I wake up every morning with a mind filled with lot of unfilled goals and objectives, it can be overwhelming sometimes but I still try as much as possible to take it a step at a time. I have enough experience to know that being held back by past failures wouldn't do me any good, so I move forward regardless. When a driver is aware of his/her route to a journey, then confusion becomes minimal.
From the moment I open my eyes I already know what I will do throughout the day, series of objectives broken down into achievable goals. The truth is, my mind is filled with questions and I have made it an objective to provide answers to each of the questions. While we are at it, lets take a stroll through the narrow channels of my mind.
When I speak of questions, I meant questions like; What have you achieved so far? as the year passes by, set of goals and objectives has been identified, what are you doing about it? gradually a day becomes weeks, weeks becomes months and finally the new year becomes a previous year, with goals and objectives left out to achieve, hope you are conscious of your time?
One thing I'm aware of is that, time is only conscious of its own existence without paying any attention to anyone, having that in mind what are the plans you have made to make sure you are not victim of unfulfilled goals? Last year was said to have a lot of difficulties and challenges, despite the hardship, opportunities emerged and various individuals took advantage of such opportunities to fulfil their goals, were you able to do the same? if no, what was your excuse?
The author of a book called "no excuse" stated that procrastination is a disease capable of endangering and over shadowing people's dreams if you allow it. This term called procrastination is a reason why majority of people were unable to take steps in achieving their dreams with the mindset of " I will do it tomorrow" I will get it done next week" at the end of the year they have nothing to show for it, hope you were not among such individuals? if yes what are the steps you have taken to make sure you don't make the same mistake this year?
The never ending island of procrastination is a grave yard of dreams, where a lot of exceptional potentials are left to rot like tomatoes, if only you knew how much you could have achieved, if only you could take a step today towards your goals, to put an end to procrastination which has become a pandemic among dreamers. when I say dreams I'm not talking about those petty nightmares, hope you are aware of that?
Dreams are those plans and strategies that keeps you awake at night, a storm of thoughts and series of brain storming about how to achieve your goals. There is no meaning in humans existence without a purpose.
Dreams are only achievable if you work towards achieving them instead of procrastinating, if dreams were achievable without work, all beggars will be wealthy. Does it not sound funny when you think of it? a lot of dreams have been murdered just because they were not acted upon, this is one thing common among beggars who roam about In the street mourning failed dreams they didn't act on, ***they failed to act, now they act as failures" is this a life you would prefer?
How long will you keep procrastinating? Don't just sit around waiting for some steps and procedures, outlined laws and principles to save you from yourself, there is only one solution to procrastination "start acting". This is the only cure to procrastination, start doing something today it doesn't matter if it's small or little, baby steps matters a lot.
That plan that has been abandoned for years, start acting on it, take an action and be consistent about it, gradually as you put more effort into achieving those set of goals and objectives it will become more achievable, "A forest starts with a tree and a tree starts with a seed" I do not promise you greatness immediately because those kind of thoughts are harboured by scammers and Ponzi schemers who believe greatness can be achieved in a day without putting in work, I believe you are nothing like them, hope you believe it too?
This I can promise, if you keep at it and trust the process, your level of productivity will increase over time, you will get closer to your dreams and you will be proud of your existence because you are human, a godlike creature destined for greatness. if only you believe and take necessary steps.
These are the questions and answers that goes through my mind from the moment I wake up till I rest at night, my mind ensuring I don't get distracted from my goals, objectives, dreams and principles. I often tell people, I engage in intra-personal communication than interpersonal communication. It is like Soliloquy, the only difference is these thoughts are not spoken of loudly. Until I find myself achieving every outlined objectives in my mind, the conversation goes on and on.
Is 24hrs enough to achieve my objectives? Sometimes it isn't, I just roll it over to the next day and hope I get it done on time. There are times I do and I'm always super excited when this happens because at that moment I didn't only achieve all my outlined objectives in a day, I have also been able to get a break from my noisy mind.
