Success lies not in what we started but in what we Finished
Are you working for the success that you've been dreaming for or you're in the middle of weighing things which path you're going to take? Have you blame yourself because you left behind while others achieved their goals in life?
As we get aged we will feel pressure by the things we never achieve while witnessing the success of others. We will start questioning ourselves for the decisions that we take and then felt self pity. You will come to the point that you're going to blame yourself and the situation where you're in. Sometimes you're going to ask God why you suffer a lot since you've done enough as you think you can. You start comparing yourself to others since you're smarter and determined than him/her then why they get a job first over you. The people you've think will support you will start asking what's your plan in life, why you did not apply to get a job, why you did not settle while you're friends and batch mates got their own goals in life. It is very emotional and mental torturing hearing those questions specially when you have nothing to say but to fake smile at them.
Success is not merely dreaming overnight but it needs to take an action to achieve it. Pressure will always be part in the long process of success and it will depend on you if how you're going to deal with it. There are two possibilities in pressure whether it will encourage or discourage you. In handling pressure is like venturing on a stormy sea,you need to overcome the strong wind in order to get in the island, just like in life there always up's and downs before we will fulfill for the things that we're working. Some people do not measure their success to the things that they have, for the stable job that they're in, for the luxurious life that they experience but it's all about the contentment within yourself and the inner peace that you're enjoying. At this juncture of our life maintaining a good relationship within your family with a happy home, having a good health and providing all the needs can be considered as a biggest success because experiencing this pandemic makes a lot of people pending in achieving their success.
Some people take risks in building their success, they went to abroad and try their luck some made it and some did not. However, life is full of surprises in pursuing success we must take it step by step because it has a due process. We must keep in mind how smooth we plan for our success but the plan of the Lord will prevail. We must not rush it,stop complaining, do not pressure yourself and curtail your agony what's meant for you will always be yours. Do not be discourage with your situation instead make it a motivation who knows tomorrow will be your biggest break and it will be more than enough for what you've long and pray for.It maybe hard today but one day all the sweat,tears and sleepless night will be paid off. Those people who questioned your capabilities, doubted your determination and laugh at your lowest days make them as your motivation. Manifest and surround yourself those people who truly believed in you because whether you lost it they will never stop cheering you to try over again they will always be your biggest support and defender. Let's stop pressuring instead let's start claiming.
Really nice and thoughtful words :)
