Road Trip to success
Success comes with a lot of struggles and obstacles that can pierce through one's heart. This is why some people give up on achieving success while others never get started, they have no burning desire to achieve it and this alone has buried many talents and gifts that could have changed lives.
Imagine this: you reach the top of a mountain or the top of a penthouse. The view is always breathtaking, stretching out for miles, you will want to stay there for a while to enjoy the view, But the climb wasn't easy. if it was a mountain, you would have come across rocky patches, steep inclines, and maybe even a wrong turn and if it was a penthouse, u might have climbed hundreds of steps before getting there. That's kind of what success is like. It's amazing when you get there, but it takes effort and the desire to keep going even when you seem tired.
Many people dream of being successful it is everyone that dreams to be successful but reaching that peak is always tougher than we imagined when we started making plans to achieve those dreams. Sometimes, life throws us curveballs, and sometimes rocks at us. Maybe you come from a difficult background like most of us, or maybe you just haven't found your spark yet even when you have all the resources you need to elevate yourself. That's okay! Here's the thing, success isn't about where you start, it's about how determined you are to keep climbing.
Let's talk about people who have defied the odds of making things happen. This was a story I grew up with and it was told to me every night by my mum and this was about a man who wasn't born into a wealthy home and was unlucky that he was dumped in the market when he was 2 years old. He grew up in an orphanage home without a father, and his mom, and he also struggled with different addictions due to being introduced to different hard drugs after which he left the orphanage home, he is a human being and it is normal to face difficulties and he understood this. People might have expected him to just blend in with the crowd while growing up because he had no one to look after him or because he did not have his parents as his role models while growing up, but he had a fire in his belly. He refused to let his circumstances define him.
This man worked incredibly hard because he understood where he was coming from and he had no other option than to work. He faced his challenges alone and no one to help either financially, or emotionally or give advice, and never gave up on his dreams. Today, he's a famous basketballer, inspiring others to reach their full potential regardless of what he went through and he always makes use of himself as an example. His story is a reminder that success is possible for anyone, no matter the barricade or the boundary set ahead of him.
through this man's story, I understood that the path to success isn't a smooth highway. It's more like a narrow, winding trail, a rainy and muddy road ahead at every step taken. There will be obstacles along the way always, setbacks, doubts, emotions, sickness, disloyal friends, heartbreak, and moments where you want to quit. But here's the secret: Everyone who's ever achieved anything worthwhile has faced these challenges.
The difference between those who succeed and those who don't is simple: perseverance. It's about believing in yourself and yourself alone, even when things get tough. It's about picking yourself up after a fall and dusting yourself off and keep going because no one is going to help you if you do not help yourself first.
Remember, you don't have to climb this mountain alone. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in you people that would love to help you when you ask for help or without you asking for it. Move with people who share the same dreams as you. These could be friends, family, mentors anyone who cheers you on and helps you stay focused in the midst of the challenges and tragedies happening.
So, what are you waiting for? Start climbing today! Believe in yourself, take it one step at a time, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve with a step at a time. you can do it, if you believe.
Success doesn't comes easy, that I know for sure.
