LIFE MOTIVATIONAL NUGGETS
LIFE MOTIVATIONAL NUGGETS SERIES 2
In life, certain principles that will guide you to focus and achieve your goals. One of them is ‘’ We are not in competition’’
Remember, as we are different, so are our goals. Therefore, we are not in competition. Our destinies and destinations are different. You are not in competition with anybody. Your trajectory, route to your destination(destiny), is distinct from anybody’s. Work towards yours. Don’t look at anyone else.
As cars drive on the road to different destinations, so are we. Therefore, there is no need to increase your speed to meet up with or overtake the other. We're not in competition. We only compete with ourselves to make ourselves better and to enable us to attain our destiny and destination.
To attain your goals in life, there are certain skills you need. You need to identify those skills, acquire and sharpen them. We are imbued with individual talents which is given to help us attain our goals. You must identify and hone them.
Because we are not in competition, once your goals are set, work towards them. As you drive along the way, when you get to your destination, you will not see the other cars. So it is with your goals, when you attain them, you won't see the others you started the race with or those you met on the way. Everyone would arrive at their destination at their own pace and time.
We are not in competition because, at the end of it all, whatever you attain is not shared with anyone, either. It is used for your benefit and dispensed for the benefit of others, if you so wish.
Remember, life is a personal thing. You can only live yours, not that of others. IF anyone can do it, you too can. Set your mind on the challenge and apply yourself fervently and diligently, while not forgetting to add God to the mix – success will surely be yours.
I so much love this second paragraph

Deletecompetition kills drive for long term goals

DeleteFantastic read
ReplyDeleteThanks👍
DeleteVery true. Competition brings out the worst in people.
ReplyDeleteGbamsolutely! It does. And it distracts. Focus!! Just focus on your destination!!!
DeleteInsightful and well-articulated. Understanding that we are not in competition allows us to embrace self-growth and purpose-driven living.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I can’t agree less👍
DeleteEven though we all start from different backgrounds, the surest path to success is focusing on your own growth and pace rather than comparing yourself to anyone else.... But I must ask, is this the true reality of life?? Given that we were all born into different classes of life,family, social status and family influence...a life where those at the top keep making the race difficult for the common man where *merit* carries no water
ReplyDeleteYes, but the fact remains that once you focus on your objective, the possibility of success is there. Have you considered people like Tony elumelu, Cosmas Maduka, etc, who came from grass to grace.
DeleteOr Elon musk, mark zukerberg, etc, who also came from grass to grace?
Most of the people, who focus, without getting distracted by others, because we are not in competition, succeed. The sky is wide enough for all. Go and get your trophy!
Defining your goals, cultivating a resilient mindset, taking consistent action,and learning from both failures and successes. No competition just be focused in ur objectives
ReplyDeleteThat’s just the way to go! Focus! No distractions!
