It's a beautiful day and I am already enjoying the start of it, I hope it continues like that till the end of the day. When I woke up, I decided to visit some articles on my notification from the latest ones down to the ones posted 11hours ago. I am just trying to catch up but it's not possible to see all.
Still finding a topic to write on, @King_Gozie gave me something to write on after reading his article "Instant gratification vs studying the process"
I was inspired by what he wrote and I will be dropping some instances to back this up.
Many people want Instant Gratification and do not want to pass through the process of making it. We have people who likes to compare themselves with others who have gone ahead of them and they wish to start and make it in just a day forgetting what the other people sacrificed to be where they are.
Success takes steps and if you are trying to jump over a step to the next, you will never succeed because it's just like cutting corners to make it. Why aren't you patient to study the process too? Others studied the process and got what they deserved whereas you want instant gratification.
I didn't know I am already a nine months old user here. I started from somewhere, I know what I have sacrificed to get to this stage. Those nights I would deprive myself just to work hard and be consistent.
When I was sick and down with malaria in the hospital, I kept on writing to get to where I am today. Then, someone who is just starting would want to earn bigger than me. Like who does that? You don't want to work but want to eat? They aren't ready to follow the process.
I went to visit my friend some months ago. I have introduced this lady to different platforms then but she didn't want to do such work to earn. When I finally went to visit her, she saw me on Noisecash and how I was earning, she begged me to show her. I told her I already did and if she had started when I told her, she would be enjoying now. She said she wants to earn like me, like big money. I laughed and asked her if she knew what I have been through and for how long I have been dedicated on the site. I even brought her to Readcash, she made a post and the next day, she came to my DM and was like "Bot hasn't come around oo"
I was so pissed off and had to tell her she should continue posting and be consistent. I told her not to look at the earning for now but keep posting and interacting. She did another second post and till today, she hasn't come around.
This is an example of a person who wants instant gratification but do not want to study the process.
If I had been like her, I wouldn't be enjoying on both platforms now but because I understand that there is no "get rich quick scheme" anywhere except you want to go into money ritual. In fact going for rituals now requires some process.
When you are asked to get the blood of a pregnant woman, do you think it will take you a second to get it? Wouldn't you be planning on how to go about it? Which area to target and when you finally find a pregnant woman, you will still have to crack your brain to carry her away without anyone noticing. Isn't that a process on its own? 😅😅
So nothing is easy in life. You have to pay the price which are dedication, consistency, patience, endurance, faith etc.
Another scenario happened last week in my hostel where a lady saw me on my phone and asked if I was playing games which I told her no. Others around asked what I used to do on my phone and I explained to them all. One lady requested of my number to add so she could chat me up. She said she is ready to join readcash.
I paused my activity on my phone and explained how it works. She shouldn't expect money instantly but when she keeps working and posting, she will be noticed. She asked how much would she be earning? I told her it depends and she should only focus on engagement for now.
She then said something "At least when I write two times, I will earn something"
I was sad within me and for the fact that she was stylishly asking if she can copy and paste words, I know this is what she would be doing and I had to warn her if she tries it, her account is gone forever.
Till today, she hasn't chatted me up. I don't even want a situation where I will invite someone and he or she would be plagiarizing and at the end, they will point at me. No! I want to always maintain my integrity and personality. Whatever I will never do, I don't want to be held responsible for it for another person.
If you can't study the process, forget about succeeding because you will keep failing.
Do not expect instant gratification but work hard and make efforts.
Thanks for reading
If success is to be actualized overnight, then we all would have become successful and then possible millionaires but it takes a gradual steps to achieving that
