Think Differently.

We all desire to have a better world where all our dreams and goals can be actualized. We don't want to struggle all our lives with little or nothing to show for it. We want to leave a better world even for our children so they would have a better experience than what we have been used to. We sometimes seem to forget that life is not all about wishes but about taking a conscious step to birth the things we desire.

Yes, it's good to have a mental image of the things we desire so we can drag ourselves to achieve them. I am a firm believer that we cannot feature in a future that we cannot picture and also of the belief that if we don't walk towards our dreams nothing can be achieved.

I have heard a lot of people speak of leaving a better world for their children but I don't think I want to do that. Why you ask? I would rather want to leave better children to the world so they can recreate the world they desire too because nothing can stop a determined mind. I always tell people to stop asking their children what they want to become in life but rather ask them what problem are they willing to solve. The thing is, problems cannot be exhausted in the world that we live in. New problems seem to surface every time and at every corner but when they have the mentality that they are problem solvers and not just people that should go through an already set template, it helps them to think differently, see things differently and then work on creating a better solution to solve it.

We all want things to be better, at least for ourselves. Someone even joked that he is looking for a bank that would give him a loan and then leave him alone. As funny as it sounds, that guy definitely wants a better life too. He wants things to be easy for him in his journey to a better life than he has been used to.

We want to have the world at our fingertips and it's not a bad thing to desire more out of life. Someone once joked and prayed that he hoped that people would get more out of life than a cup of tea or coffee. The thing is, we need to think differently and allow our imaginations to grow. We can create the world we desire but most of us would rather lazy around and leave the thought process for others because we think we are too small to affect any real or meaningful changes. We already have a defeated mindset even before we venture into it. We are causing more problems not for us alone but for the world as we are depriving the world of our creativity and the solution that we might produce.

Nature has given us all that we need. We have been blessed with an abundance of goodness with nature but we have been sleeping on it and overlooking the beauty it possesses rather we tear her down and didn't think much of it. Nature is like the raw materials that we need but we are not igniting the fire in us to achieve the things we need. We should take serious steps for the things we desire. There is more to life than just eating and sleeping. Most people are not living but they are merely existing and I think if most of us, myself included, think about it, we can see that we have just been living to get by and not really tackling the problems we have been equipped to solve.

Life is more than just those Instagram poses and Tik Tok challenges. We must not die with our music unwritten inside us. We should fan our desires into flame but first, we need to start thinking differently so we can break away from the norms. We are capable of so much more and we must not allow our voices to be tamed.

We need to be inspired by the success of others rather than to feel demoralized that we are failing. You are not failing, you are not just taking the steps that are necessary. Life won't give you things just because you desire them but there are some times you have to place a demand to get the things that you desire.

Who told you that you can't get more out of life?

Who told you that love is distant and you should live in strife?

You can, with your abilities, create a world where bread is not a stone

And meatloaf would be what it is - not a bone

Life has given us all that we need and desire

Ain't nothing gonna happen if you don't light the fire

But most people love pity, they want to be in a situation so dire

They have placed their feelings on a hire

They allowed the pressure of life to weigh heavily and they tire

The steps you don't take won't take itself

The dream you don't fuel won't achieve itself

The love you didn't pursue won't just happen

We need to stop living in a cocoon world of self-delusion

Thinking things would fall on our laps because we desire it

Ask yourself, what steps are you taking?

Ask yourself, are you doing things the way others are doing it?

It's a waste of time to expect something different while doing the norms

Think outside the box and do things differently...

Thank you for your time.

Our perception of things and how we respond to them goes a long way in determining our level of success.

Another thing is we need to see other peoples achievements as motivations and encouragement for us to move on and keep trying. With time we'd get the desired success.

I love thatπŸ‘† because the world is unpredictable when you are gone but better children can create the world of their own which they want

Indeed, it's actually all from our perspective in life, the way we see things is the way it will affect us. Are we going to be affected and be affected by contagious fame apps like tiktok? I don't think many of us here want that one. Let's take courage to think of a problem as a challenge to solve and not a problem to avoid with. Because life is a full of challenge and sowe will really gonna face it in the future. Be prepared

Very well... Good point. We can't avoid the problems rather we should seek for ways to solve them and we should be encouraged by those who did.

our success depends on how we think. People think differently which give them a different outcomes.

Our mind sets will lead us to what it is capable to achieve.
Very well written πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

I have been inspired by your work, this one in particular. Leaving behind better children who will in turn better the world is a great step that could help the world become a good place to live in.

Masterpiece, I don't get impressed again because you always make me have this wow impression after reading your article. I don't expect anything lesser than top quality.

Dreaming without working towards achieving it is a waste of time, billions of dreams have died it ended up like a dream. I love the point about asking kids what they want to become and the right question is what they want to solve because the world is full of things we can take advantage of by solving problems to become successful.

We need to be motivated by the success of others rather than demoralized.

That's true.. Sometimes we feel envious of other people's achievements...but the best thing to do is to actually make them as inspiration to achieve success as well..

Nice piece

Absolutely, Janey. It should be a motivation for us rather than a discouragement because it would prevent us from tapping into our true potential since we are wasting time being bitter.
