Help yourself!
Date: March 28,2022
Author: Sequoia“The hardest thing in the world is trying to extend a hand to someone who don’t have any plans to pick up himself from where he is, in the first place.”
You can have all the best mentors, coaches, leaders and encouragers in the whole world.
You can attend several seminars, orientations, workshops and other empowering activities.
You can be the most skilled and talented person in the history.
But if you have no plans to help yourself get up, you will never go anywhere.
Some people tend to misunderstand us for pushing them to their limits. They will often think that we are pressuring them and taking their ‘freedom to enjoy life’ away from them. Little did they know, we are just doing it for their own growth. Unfortunately, not everyone would accept and appreciate our helps.
They wanted to have the life that the successful people is living but isn’t willing to do the things that those unbeatable and powered people do. Helping this kind of people is like teaching cats how to shake hands. It isn’t impossible, but tough. You can provide all the treats that they need, but won’t still obey the tricks that you teach.
However, the problem is not with you, it’s with them. A person who really wants to do something will do everything just to have it. But a person who isn’t willing will always find a way to not do it. They will make a lot of excuses.
In short, most people want instant success without undergoing anything. But it doesn’t work that way.

Success doesn’t come overnight and so is self-development and improvement. If you really wanted to grow and achieve things that you desire, you must be willing to sacrifice your unhealthy and unproductive habits. Compromising is one of the most crucial ingredients in success. Visible results won’t be noticeable in just a blink of an eye. We gotta undergo multiple process of pruning, fining, polishing and other necessary things to be the person that we ought to be.
Growth doesn’t come in our comfort bubble. You have to take that step and come out from your familiar surroundings and activities and allow yourself to be lost in unfamiliar set-ups and situations.
People who are willing to change should be ready with everything that they may face. You will lose some people along the way, you will get lost most of the time, you might even reach the point in your life where the only thing that you can do is to quit and go back to where you came from. But we shouldn’t fret and keep the faith within our hearts.

We may wander around, but we are never lost. Just because we are going the opposite way on where everybody is heading, means we are already in the wrong path. We have to remember that we have individual race to run and road to take. Aim for what your heart really wants. People might belittle and laugh at you. But soon, they will see you shine and stand out from the rest. Not because it happened overnight, but because you choose to endure while everyone is enjoying.
The time will come that all your sacrifices will be paid off accordingly.

Even your own sibling. Its hard for me to say no esp to my siblings but now, I can see that one of them is not worth my help and money. But just recently, I still extend my help coz after all were family. It is just so sad to think that they still manage to continue their vicious not knowing that that money is out of my Hardwork.
