Your life’s course

Ever notice yourself waking up one morning up full of gusto and force to chase your life’s ideas and then appreciate six months later on that you aren’t even one pace nearer to any of your goals? If you find yourself in this rut, then possibly it’s because you’ve been caught in a trap, the kind that is awkward to get out of. Where are you headed? You don’t know. Where have your ideas gone? On the back burner.

A good number of us don’t know our route in life. We live with so many ideas inside us but one way or another we keep finding ourselves finding excuses to delay the pursuit of our goals. We offer up so many excuses: bills to pay, family to take care of, work to finish, etc. Too many excuses and too many delaying tactics. In the end, when we see that we haven’t accomplished much, we have no one to blame but us. We don’t want to live life this way. But then, who does?

We get off route time and again, as most people do. We get too caught up in life’s little hindrances that we forget to live in the moment, to get pleasure from the now! The rationale for all the doubt may lie on the fact that our ideas are not as well-defined as we would want them to be. The question here, therefore, is focus. We must have clearness of thinking to know how we can complete what we want. We need a step-by-step idea that spells out what we have to do to get to the end. When we experience setbacks, we have to know how to deal with each of them. After all, nothing in life is exact. There are just things that are way away from our control, and if we live life going a step forward and then two steps back, we go further away from our ideas. The farther we go, the more unattainable it will seem to get what we want.

It’s also central to allow the state of affairs we’re in. We all live in unique environments and have various methods of coping with realism. The foremost thing is that we are in touch with the things that transpire around us. Knowing how our environs influence us will give us clues on what to do with the usual boundaries set on us. After that, we make a pledge to modify the circumstances we are in and to track our expansion on a regular basis.

We can sometimes fall flat on our faces and carry out social faux pas along the way. If this happens, just consider it’s not the end of the world. We get up, keep moving, and come up with an even better plan. We don’t need to be super heroes to avoid traps. What we need is an everlasting spirit to carry on despite mistakes. We have to be our own principal enthusiast, the person who cheers the loudest during game time. If not, who will trust in a person who doubts? Let us start chasing our dreams and stop running away from harsh certainty.
