Life is bitter-sweet.
Sometimes you give your best but it's not enough. You fall countless times but like you soldiers, you still stand up strong and with lessons. What's your motivation for wanting to be big in life? Why are you hustling? Why do you keep going?
For my mom ,my husband and children to come.
I want to give them the best of the best of life.
That's really good.. I like your drive. It's not easy to hustle and hustle tirelessly.. sometimes, you just feel tired and lazy. Working feels like to much stress
Huhm, that's a deep one.
But then, this is not me being selfish... But I come first, I'm doing it for myself first, then for my family.
I don't actually think you are being selfish by choosing yourself first. Though some people may not agree with me. In everything you do, choose yourself first, except it has to do with protecting your family, or sacrificing for your family (wife and kids)
It also gets hard sometimes. Some days you feel energised and ready to lift planet earth (metaphor), while some times you feel weak, lazy and you feel like you lost your motivation. Have you ever thought on giving up on your goals?
True though .
There are day's I just question everything and ask myself if it's even worth it. But then, I've been my on motivation for quite a while now. Each time I look back at the various things life has thrown my way, I see reasons to pick myself back up and chase my goals
I like how motivated you are towards achieving your goals. It's not easy. One thing I know is that no matter the rate of work and individual puts, their goals don't come immediately, but it would definitely come. It takes time.
I watched a video by Late Jim Rhon and he said: "Set a goal to become a millionaire, not for the million, but for who it would make of you to become a millionaire." This quote lives rent free in my mind. A lot of meaning to it. It's not about setting goals and being motivated
And being motivated to achieve those goals, but it is about the person you become in the course of achieving your goals. The person we become while trying make it in life is more important than whether or not we actually make it in life.
So true.
Some go any length to be who they want... Some forget where they are coming from
Some become another person entirely, while some become a more better human.
The major reason I can't give up is:
My daughter; "look at that house... People have a lot of money but we don't."
I can't bare to bring children into this world and watch them suffer. I'm doing it for me (first) and my children to come.
My present situation is always my motivation. Do I really want to end up this way? Or make a move and change even if it's small.
My future makes me move even when I feel tired or weak.
Most times, looking at how things are, you can not even have time to lazy around. The only thing that would be going through your mind is - "I have two options. It's either I make it or I make it." There's no other way.
I'm glad that irrespective how the things life throws at you, you always find a way to come back to doing what you know how to do best. Is there ever a time you felt like you've done enough and you deserve some rest? Or maybe a time when you felt demotivated?
Yes, there was a time when I felt like: "I just need to take a break for a while", and that was when I began to lose. So I noticed it and reset myself.
It's good to take breaks in life, but then, too many sleep makes poverty comes quicker (according to the bible).
It's calm to take short breaks but it's not calm to lazy around for too long.
I can say I'm doing it all for myself. Then, my family and every other person comes next.
You can't give what you don't have so I can't claim to extend a helping hand to others when I'm nowhere being stable myself.
I'm struggling because I want to change the unchangeable generational story in my family.
Whenever I feel like I can't keep pushing I will suddenly remember I have a baby sis who is rooting for me. And I have my mum and dad who will walk miles to see me excell.
