Starting from today make it a habit to re-invent yourself. By re-invent, I mean taking steps every day no matter how small, to become what you want to be soon. The future you want is what you start creating from this day. Are there professional courses or hands-on lessons you need to learn, don’t wait till the dying minute to learn them. Don’t think this future is still far, today was once the “future” for all of us. So, make hays while the sun shines and begin to do what you should do, now.
There may be constraints in attaining your improvement goals; ranging from lack of time, to unavailable resources and personnel, to financial incapacities, whatever that constraint may be, do not allow it to keep you from attaining your goals. There will always be a way out! It may not look so at the beginning, but keep at it, you will eventually surmount that difficulty. Remember to reach out to people and don’t be weighed down by disappointments if the people you thought would help you out fail to do so. Continue to knock on doors, one day one of such doors will open up to you.
When you eventually attain the height you worked for, don’t forget to reach out to those who are looking up to you, whether for mentorship or any other assistance you can render. Always remember that the top is a lonely place, and though it may be daunting to get there, don’t forget to make good and genuine human connections along the way. If you neglect the people who matter most to you in the process of becoming what you want to be, you may wake up one day very lonely at the top.
I hope this inspires you to keep working on yourself and not give up in the face of challenges.
Have a fruitful week!
