Are you doing your best??

The month started with a good vibe for me and I feel very inspired to do better than I have always done on the platform and in reality. I want to say a big thank you to Bitcoin.com for the giveaway because getting a $5 gift on the first day of the month means a lot to me, it is a good sign and I had to give out as well because it was something I wasn't expecting.

I am writing this post as a random one and I will be touching things outside the topic there are lots of things we must understand going into the new month.

I feel very grateful to God for the grace he has given me to be able to engage on the platform again, what every man will become will be built on his existence because you can only fulfill your dream only when you are alive. The gift of life is something to be always grateful for.

Can we truly do more than what we are doing?

I came up with the topic while I was engaging with @kli4d on noise cash where he talked about writing two posts in one night. He didn't believe it and while I was making my comments, I ask myself that "are we using our potentials fully?", "Is this the best we can do?".

I have encountered scenarios where people set lower limits for themselves even before knowing the task coming for them or what they are capable of doing.

To cut the story short, I believe that we create limitations to what we can do in our minds and it ends up reflecting in what we are capable of doing in reality. The human mind carries a lot of power and it can affect our lives in either a positive or negative way regardless of what we feed it.

It sounds funny to Imagine that the mind eats without having a mouth. The mind does have an invisible mouth and it feeds on our thoughts. With my little experience in life, I can confidently say that the state of your mind has lots of effects on you because it controls your emotions, it can make you weak or strong, it can also play roles in how you make decisions in life, etc.

I said earlier that our mindset sometimes determines how much we can offer but the fact is that we all can do better than we are doing right now but we think we can't.

The reason why we are okay with what we are doing.

The is not a situation of staying contented, we must be hungry for more success to avoid been kicked off to the bottom again.

Someone once told me why would she rush herself when nothing is pursuing and unfortunately for her when something started pursuing her, she didn't have the resources to run anymore.

One of the biggest reasons why a lot of people choose not to do more than what they are doing is:

STAYING IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE:

Who doesn't want comfort in life? The answer is nobody. I have observed that many of us don't like stepping out of our comfort zone because we feel it is stressful forgetting that to achieve great success you must step out of your comfort zone which means stressing yourself.

Stepping out doesn't require you to hurt yourself, it has to do with pushing yourself to the limit. It might be stressful from the start but you adapting to it would become a gradual thing until you get better at it.

Your comfort zone is like sitting in a box, you won't just be restricted to inside the box but you will have to live your life according to what you have in the box. A step outside the box will expose you to many other things that would help you to explore and achieve more, there might be lots of risks attached to it but there won't be success without involving in any form of risk.

Let have a small discussion away from the topic.

We all have lots of goals to achieve in the new month but how prepared are you?

I noticed there are times I get over-prepared and end up doing below my expectations. After much observation, I discovered that I wasn't keeping track of my progress on every target I have set for myself.

Keeping tracks might look simple but we can easily get off track because we always think we are doing well. Every target we set should have a breakdown of how we want to achieve it and the breakdown will help us know how far you have come and how long you still have to achieve your target.
