Determination

Reading time: 1 minute.

Hello, my friend. I hope you are doing great. It’s been a while since we talked. I was too busy growing my skills and improving myself to reach out to you.

The last few months have been so fast, they went like a boom, and I was ensuring that I stay afloat. Sometimes, life challenges you to an extent, that just surviving is also a challenge. Don’t worry I was not in that bad shape, but I had to travel a lot, work a lot, fail a lot, and learn a lot.

Looking back now, it feels so fantastic, but of course, it was not at all easy for me. I am just a human, with dreams and determination. I fail sometimes, sometimes it is not in our hands, but I do bounce back because that is the only thing in our control.

Even when I was reaching out to you, it was either a technical blog or a short prompt. So, I decided to talk to you, just me and you. 

How have you been recently? Are you facing challenges in life, if you are spending your time reading this right now? It already shows that you want to push ahead, that you want to outgrow yourself, that you want to leave a mark on the face of this planet.

I don’t know, how many of us, would be successful in doing the same thing in our lifetime, I hope we all will make it. One thing I am certain of is, that we will face a lot of challenges. These challenges will not be external all the time.

They can be internal as well. To be honest, most of the time they will be internal, when we will push us back, out of fear, low confidence, or sacrifice. One thing I have realized in the short span of time, that I have spent as a human, is that we are so small, that our efforts take a while to show their impact.

Also, it depends on our goal as well. If our goal is too big, we better learn to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Sometimes, when we are continuously putting out the effort, we get worn out, and we feel we are not moving anymore.

The initial energy or enthusiasm subsides, and the thing that keeps us going is our willpower. When we get closer to the goal, again our energy and enthusiasm come back. But till that time, it is our determination, and discipline that keeps us going.

Discipline is just consistency, no matter what. Discipline is doing the same thing again and again, with faith that it will work out for us. Discipline is also continuing to do something when it has already given us good results.

It was an awakening for me when I realized that neither talent nor luck determines our success, rather it is the day-in-day-out efforts, that we put in every day relentlessly. 

Wealth is the network of people, we are surrounded with. Whether we are a solo warrior at that moment, or in a team. People around us help us reach wealth, as we help them do the same. It is a two-way street, we get, what we give around.

I will not make this too long, as in the time of reels, reading is a very hard habit to keep. If you are reading here, good work! My Salute to you, captain.

Keep pushing my friend, keep creating your way, your world is yours to conquer. Have it, most gloriously.

My best wishes to you.
