In today’s world a lot of people feel like they have to follow the route that others go. Everyone has social media, why wouldn’t I? Everyone drinks a lot of alcohol, why wouldn’t I? Ofcourse you can always follow others, but you can also choose to take a different route.
The way to reach success is by taking small smart decisions where other people are taking the easy way out. Everyone has similar goals, but not everyone manages to complete them. Dream big and achieve your dreams by not giving up. The time available to you is scarce, so don’t waste your time constantly. Consider your time usage and see what you think is worth your time.
Life’s all about choices. Everyone’s destination is the same; only the paths are different. – Sushmita Sen
Easy choices make a hard life, hard choices make an easy life. Anything worthy of your time is hard to achieve. If it was supposed to be easy then everyone would be doing it right away. When you go for the difficult option you are creating an opportunity to move ahead of the pack. This all sounds great, but it isn’t the big decision that opens your way towards succes. It are the small daily choices that will make the difference.
The point where your current decisions can help you heaps is when you allow delayed gratification. There is no need to be receiving enjoyment right now. Participate in difficult activities at present which will benefit in your future. for example switching over to use a different language to help someone makes it difficult for now. However it will help your future if you manage to improve your second language.
Long ago my weekends were filled with unproductive activities. They were enjoyable and useless. Nowadays taking the harder route might seem less fun at the start. But the further you get into this process the better the rewards in the end will become.
