Many years ago, specifically in the '80s, a lot of people will do anything to live to see the light of the next day - there was no self-esteem being thought about, no peer influence being considered and no want of direction being anticipated. Nothing worth more at the time than self-preservation and survival. However, the story is different in the 21st century; now, we have more people factoring in self-esteem, carriage or peer influence when making major decisions in their lives.
In both generations, there were people who, despite the limitations they faced or are currently facing have stood tall like an edifice in their sectors. These people added to their desires, the mindset of purpose, power and prosperity.
Living a life of purpose will help a person do so much with so little at every turn in their lives and this in turn, creates a feedback system such that life responds to one with the same level of enthusiasm. Increase, prosperity and wealth in life does not come by being sentimental but rather, from a practiced, continuous and unyielding sense of faithfulness to what one has been assigned to.
In our society today, many people - old and young alike battle with three major challenges which are - distractions, a sense of impotence and a lack of resources. Any of these three challenges are capable of crippling the visions of success that we might have pictured in last years.
But, having a sense of purpose that is, knowing the reason for which you are at a particular place in specific point in times solves the problem of distraction. Distractions can come in the form of failure, discouragement or scorn (either from things, strangers or close acquaintances). All of these tend to halt anyone who was once in a race of success.
However, like the soldiers in the special forces who have received marching orders from their superior and never stop unless ordered, we must see our vision for success as our own marching orders and stop at nothing until we see it play out in rich fulfilment.
Always waiting for things to be set, glittery and beautiful before taking a leap will not yield results of excellence and success this year but to your dismay, will tire you out until you do not have the yeast in you to rise again.
Let purpose carry you all through this year - not what you see or don't see; not what you have or don't have any definitely not what you experience or don't experience. This way, distractions - no matter from where, whom or in what magnitude will be sniffed out early.
You are an institution in your own right so you must learn to be glad in what you have found yourself doing and silence the voice of jesters.
One other way to deal with distractions is by seeing that you are responsible for how your job, your business or your career turns out. Responsibility is the instrument of success which showcases that you are, in fact, the director of your own life thus, you must ensure to take your life in your hands by being practical with all that has been handed over to you. Stop living in fantasies, take facts and work with them while ensuring to keep pushing until your doors are open for improvement and lifelong success.
In our next series, we will share with you how you can overcome the feeling of impotence and get out of a continuous lack of resources this year. Till then, keep practicing this techniques in avoiding distractions and watch it yield maximally!
