"Don't Be Pressured, Be Motivated"

March 18, 2022

Big things start from small things, big problems start from small problems and big responsibilities start from a small responsibilities. Everything in life shows development in a step-by-step process together with you. It means when you grew up things like becoming more intense and mature than you expected.

Can you still remember your childhood dream? The answer to the question "What do you want to be in the future?

Can you still remember how motivated you are looking forward to achieve that dream by doing your best even you are in your early stage?

Now that you are at the right age, do you feel the same? Are you motivated or are you pressured to do the thing you want to achieve?

We start our childhood dreaming to become someone or to achieve what profession we want in the future. Even in the early stage, we've been taught to dream big and that dream motivates us every day.

We start with the stage of the nursery, in this stage learning is fun. We always look forward more to the activities that make us interesting and in the part of having fun we also learn from it. No pressure groping is present in this stage.

As we move up to the next stage, things that we need to learn and internalize are also accelerated. From nursery, we move up to kindergarten where learning becomes broad but fun. This is the first foundation where our teacher taught us to write and read and to know our capabilities if we are ready to move up to the next level which is the grade school level.

Grade School is where we learned a lot of things that also help mold us into what kind of person we are today. We are motivated to do things, experience different kinds of learning strategies and techniques that our teacher shows, and at this level development in feelings and sensitivity are present. We also look forward to having fun with friends and classmates at this level.

High school days are the most memorable, we experience things out of our boundaries, experience things that taught us a lesson and this is the most fun level where you can appreciate and understand things that you do. Feeling of maturity, sensitivity, etc are present at this level. At this level is the time when we decided what to choose if we will stick to achieve our childhood dream or to follow what our heart desire.

College is where the real battle begins, the battle for our future. At this level, we can feel the pressure because all things are not just about fun but it also talks about academic maturity which means a higher level requires higher thinking skills and other factors. Sometimes we can ask ourselves if we can do it and move forward or stop and find another path to take. But motivation is higher than the pressure at this time. We can say generally that we felt pressure but the truth is we are motivated to achieve and to graduate on time.

After graduating college, two factors triggers us to be pressured in life;

• We are left behind by our classmate's achievements.

• We are the breadwinner of the family.

But things will not go according to our plan if we let the pressure feeling overpower our motivation. We should be motivated to do everything that we want to achieve in life so that we can do it in a step-by-step process and everything will go well.

If we let pressure overpower there are tendencies that we can't do our plan in the right way, we can not see the right path to walk forward because of the negativities within us and we might do bad things just to reach our goal in life. We cannot think clearly and we don't know how to step forward towards a better future if we let the pressure eat us.

We should trust God in everything we want to achieve in life because God's perfect timing is the best than our timing. If we let God center our encouragement and motivation everything will be according to our plan.

Closing Thoughts:

Don't be pressured by the achievements of others because we are made differently and we have our own time to shine.

If you are a breadwinner, don't be pressured, be motivated so that you will achieve what you want in time. Things will be under your plan if you will feel more motivated than being pressured.
