Is there still time?

Most people are plagued with the constant thought of how time is going already. They feel they still haven't achieved what their peers have achieved at a certain age, and it makes them feel like a loser sometimes. This feeling of being depressed and underachieving, the feeling of not making any progress at all gets on them and makes them beat themselves hard. They will continue to live a life of guilt and depression until they learn to accept that It's never too late to start achieving anything they want. Maybe you’ve been waiting for a long time to start doing things but your heart still feels like it's in the first step of becoming a better person. It feels like it's a game of catch-up with no time to be caught up with. The sad thing is I see this every day in so many people, from their countenance and words you will know they think they're too old or they're starting too late.

Time is just a number. It does not define who you are, your goals or how you set your life to be. We all have the same amount of hours in the day. The difference between successful people and those who are not is not in the number of hours they have in a week or their age but what they have in their mind. The ones with a bigger number in their mind will always find a way to fill the 24 hours available to them.

The course I’m studying is meant to be a Five (5) year course but we’ve spent 5 years already and we are still in 400 Level. The corona outbreak caused a pause in our education and the constant Strike by the lecturers (there’s another ongoing) has caused fear in so many students' minds. They wonder when they will graduate, at what age and the chances of getting employed. It’s like looking at an unavoidable bleak future. Truly you may feel that you're not where you are supposed to be right now but there are ways to get there.

It's never too late to get it right the first time. Most people gave up, sold out and lost hope because of certain obstacles that come along the way. Truth is, when the mindset is right, you'll always find a way to get over it and push further. You may think you are not good enough but your dream needs an anchor and that anchor is "YOU"

To achieve anything you will have to take action, take small steps as at the beginning it's meant to be a journey. Start with a small step towards your dream. Take action every day towards your dream, follow your passion and enjoy the process. Never allow your fear to control you because we all know that fear doesn't kill people but it does hold them back from achieving their goals. Tell yourself that there's no failure in trying or doing something you love, and keep working hard until you achieve your goal.

Maybe you have a child, have lost a loved one or have a health issue in your family. No matter what the circumstance is, you have to control your time and make yourself a happier person. You need to know that it's never too late to start or achieve that thing you have in mind. Do you ever wonder if you'll ever meet your goal? Do you feel like giving up?. Life might have given others a head start but that doesn’t mean you can’t run your own race, moreover, you’re in no competition with anyone so it doesn’t matter what they are or where they are. What matters most is your happiness. Once you are happy doing what you are doing, with consistency and hard work, you’ll surely achieve everything you have planned with time.
