Whether
we believe or not; a moment lost can not be regained. If life had a rewind
button, many people would gladly return to their past and undo some things.
However, the reality is that the law of time does not allow for that sort of
thing and our only hope is to strive for making better choices. Though the
responsibility to make better choices gives us immense power; are we using it?
I wish to take you through a mental time lapse of what potential your 2017
could have if you use your power well.
I won't
stray too far from my niche of writing about relationships. I'd first like to
tackle the responsibility we hold to grant ourselves the happiness we wish for.
Being a young business woman myself, I've had the opportunity to meet and
socialize with dozens of people my age and a little older, from various
backgrounds. No matter how diverse we may be, we all have one thing in common-
goals. What's even more intriguing is how we would all go about achieving these
goals in our own way. Though our aim is to achieve these goals; what is our
plan en route on pursuing them? A person can have a goal and be very focused on
achieving it but what is life like while pursuing the goal? You see, many of us
forget that the key to achieving a goal is happiness. An old friend of mine
would always say, "If something no longer serves you, let it go."
Perception,
analysis and execution can easily change your life and the direction you wish
for it to go. One can perceive that a thing is causing havoc in ones life but
fail in realizing that you hold the power to change or get rid of it because
one is so focused on attaining a goal. Permit me to tell you a story about a
young man. His goal in life was to own his own engineering company. In his late
twenties, he got an executive position with an engineering company after finishing his masters degree. He
enjoyed the perks and knew that he wanted a company of his own. He was in the
process of purchasing his home, had a girl friend, a mother who assumed her
role was to be his dictator and college mates who he would play ball with a few
times a week and attend random parties with. To him, live was busy and as he
thought, this was typical for adult life but he was no closer to starting his
company as when he had finished drafting his well thought out business plan. In
no time he was thirty- five, still doing the same things and still had no
business. His girl friend was still "there" either wishing for a ring
or accumulating as much as she could from his generosity, his mother remained a
dictator and his college friends were still his buddies. Sadly, this man was
willingly wishing on stars and not actively pursuing what he really wanted in
life. Yes he owned a home but the environment with in his home, did not nurture
or breathe life into his dreams. Shackin' had its perks but after a while,
that's all it was, shackin'. I'd leave it to your imagination, the things he
could have done to make his journey toward reaching his goal more attainable
and enjoyable.
Your
situation might be quite different but are you able to admit that you are
hoarding things and people that are no longer serving you? I wish to address a
sick illusion that is fed to young girls who then evolve into women, thinking
that their ultimate goal in life is to become a wife, mother and contribute to
her duty to mother nature. Excuse me but back the hell up! This explains the
female self- imposed frustration where women in there twenties seem to be
literally hunting for a soul mate. Have we remained so shallow that the
opinions of previous generations of women still bark us into a forced life?
Reality check Ladies… Only you can make yourself happy and anything or anyone
that remains an obstacle in your quest to reach your goals, should be removed.
The same goes to men but I believe that fifty percent of the male species
execute that action already. They are the men who micromanage their work, women
and vacation time.
It may
sound strange but women of today should follow suit. Men aren't great receivers
of their own actions and with time (those years where a woman enjoys her
journey in achieving her goals and doing it happily), a cluster of men will
start realizing that they can no longer keep up with a string of women because
they can't go more than four rounds in a night and will be soon looking for a
woman to settle with. I am not implying that women will have to settle for men with reduced stamina hence failing to
satisfy our appetite. I'm only sharpening our vision to see that by the time we
arrive at that bridge of marriage, the male species will understand and realize
that his penis is not a gift but a treasure. A treasure that he should use
wisely. Women never run out of steam and he should hate to disappoint a woman
who exudes power- boredom is not an option.
The old
saying says "Time is of the essence" but time is also money. Every
moment we decide to procrastinate, we delay what destiny has for us. We can
choose to settle for the pace we're going or surround ourselves with the people
and things that will make our path much clearer. If you're still at the same
place that you were in 2015 then you're doing something wrong. However, the
hope is that you have the power to fix that i.e. if you choose to.
