“The dream is free but the hustle is sold separately.” This is one of the sentences that is engraved in many, architects of their futures. Carrying a dream is the most beautiful thing in the world until you realize that it is only a dream and you are left out with regrets. Regrets always come uninvited or should I say without official invitation if we consider that our lack of action towards our goals is its free pass. The materialization of one’s dream on another note requires dedication, passion, and desire to get up after each fall and start back again.
Despite not achieving your goal at your first try, still carry that dream, want it and never spend a day without thinking about the possibility of another shot at it. The barriers are there, and it will be foolish to think that the road to success has to be one with petals along the way. Procrastination, we all know can be one’s downside and overcome it is where we might fall short. That voice that tells you that you will have time to do everything, you have the ability to do it or master it in a day; that was/is the worst counsel, because it is always followed by that adrenaline rush when the time comes and brings disappointment when you finally cannot meet your deadline at the best of your ability. Take full advantage of any new chance at achieving each step of the goal presented to you. Even when you feel like beating yourself up, I strongly congratulate that instinct to expect better of yourself. Crown it with initiative, actions toward the materialization of your heart desire. Take it as a chance to look into yourselves and confine in others if needed of what is/are more often shared barriers, pet peeves, downfall, weaknesses(s) that keep us away from our fulfillment, our ride towards self actualization (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs).
Lifestyle planning is a must. The same way a syllabus guide a class progression, our journey has to have a guide, requirements, goals, discipline, put together to facilitate our progression. Take at heart every new opportunity offered to you, in the form of regrets, failures or half successes, since they very often help us to look at ourselves in the nakedness of our weaknesses, allowing us to decide, recognize and take control over what our instincts tells us versus what is needed to achieve the planned goal. Take ownership of your strategies for success, the biggest test being everyday life itself. New beginning is probably for some a sticker in the back that says you did not make it, you failed at first; but it is also a sign of accountability that says I take ownership of my shortcomings and decide to change tires and get back in the race to win.
