Know what you want and where you are going!

Date: 20th December 2021

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? I hope you are having a fantastic week and staying hydrated. Five days remain until we reach Christmas and Eleven till we enter 2022; The countdown is here again.

Oikawa here again with another article, and I am so excited because only five days remain till we celebrate Christmas; I wonder what I should do that day.

Some of us have already prepared for Christmas, and I wish everyone a fantastic celebration.

Before I start with the article, let me ask everyone a question,

"Do you know where you are going? 

"Do you know what you want?

I am not talking about a physical area here but your future ambitions and what you want for yourself ten-twenty years from now.

It is never too premature to set a goal because this would help you know what and what not to do, and it also helps you focus more on improving yourself instead of wasting your life away.

What do you want to be like in the future? Do you want to be relying on another person? Or do you want to become what you have always wanted to be? 

You could be a doctor, an artist, carpenter, mechanic, and you could be anything you want; it all hangs on what you want for yourself.

Are you willing to get off your couch and go out today and do what you want? 

Are you willing to beat your writer's block and type something?

Are you willing to defy the odds against you and achieve greatness? 

I am asking these questions to show you that you are the only person who can answer them, and the moment you answer them, you will understand what you need to do.

If you don't seem to focus anymore, you must remind yourself of what you are pursuing; you need to remember what you want because this would help you keep pushing forward.

Many newbies on this platform have been discouraged because they failed to look at the long run; they only focus on the money they would receive in the present, and when they look at the process of making the money, they instantly run away. 

It is not easy writing, especially when you have not written before, and that is why most people tend to exit this platform when they don't seem to be getting paid the amount they want.

It is easy to have dreams, but it would always be hard to achieve them because dreams take effort and patience, which we all need to know/understand.

One thing we humans tend to lack is "Patience," which is why most people tend to lose track when things are not going as fast as they want, and this is also why we all need to have goals that we want to pursue.

We should know that even if things are not going as we want, we should still push forward because sooner or later, you would be able to achieve what you want; you only need to put in more effort.

"Our dreams breathe life into us and sometimes can cage us in suffering. We live and die by our dreams."

But this is what makes dreams so exciting, the sleepless nights, the back pains, the eye bags; this all comes when pursuing something, especially for the future.

It would be best if you didn't let all those little sufferings affect what you have in mind for the future. Instead, it would help if you were pumped up because without the process, then you wouldn't have the victory.

Sometimes the process is more fun than the victory because it shows you that you can do anything to achieve what you want, and no matter how long it takes, you would still keep chasing that dream.

It all comes down to the vision you have for yourself, and as I have said: "you decide what you want to do".

No one will decide for you, and even if they do, is that what you want? 

As I have written in the title: 

Know what you want and where you are going!

Let those words ring in your mind when you feel like giving up; remind yourself what you want for yourself and where you are heading in life.

Imagine what would happen when you finish the process; you would finally achieve what you want.

For example:

If you are pursuing a writing career, then the process is constantly increasing your vocabulary and writing skills;

It may not be easy doing all that, but instead of thinking of only the process, you should also be thinking of the success that awaits you at the end. 

I am sure that would remind you why you are doing it and boost you.
