Lately...
......
Lately, I have been thinking of how to change the world. Y’know…that superhero vibe. Lol.
Ok. I’m being serious. I have been thinking about how I can add more value to the world at large. Doing meaningful and valueable projects, building meaningful and immense stuff, creating beautiful experiences for people, crafting my name, signature, legacy on the stones of the world.
Achieving this will take a lot of work. A lot of grit. A lot of focus, determination, persistence, patience, understanding, sacrifice, because to achieve the glamorous “Greatness” requires impeccable attributes.
Some people I happen to know have impacted the world in some type of huge way. Leaving their marks on the stones of worldwide experiences and their acts/the values they offer to the world at large are changing lives. I look at them and I observe. It really took a lot for them to get to the level where they are at. Hardwork and grit and focus and immense self belief and trainings and constant learnings and sacrifice got them where they are at and got them to achieve whatever they have achieved today.
For one, I am extremely grateful to be surrounded by winners. In all entirety, I am thankful to be surrounded by winners and people who have added value to the world on a large scale. It has inspired me to put my best foot forward always even from now. All these years, I have been saying I want to change the world, I want to do things that will impact lives, I want to add immense value to the world. And I have come to understand that it is by putting my head down to do the work. It is by rolling up my sleeves and getting to work. It is by doing the hard things and not letting my laziness overtake me. It is by studying hard. It is by putting myself in places that I can contribute to great work. It is by learning all I need to learn. It is by building myself to the extent that I am a solution to problems. It is by preparing myself for opportunities too. It is by improving my mindset and the way I speak. It is by taking action.
I want to change the world. I have to be ruthless with my decisions most times. I have to say No to some things and say Yes to some others things. It means I have to learn to make hard and easy decisions, and learn to weigh my options.
My thoughts lately have been centred on these things. It is helping me guide my actions. It is helping me do things I would not do because I hated to put in the work. Now, I feel the fire so strong that I can’t afford to just exist on earth. I can’t afford to be mediocre. I can’t afford to be ordinary. Some people want to be and that’s fine but that’s not me. That’s not me.
And that will never be me.
I want to live fully and die empty. I want to immerse myself into experiences and also be an immense-full experience for others. That is, I, myself will be an experience to my little world and the world at large.
This should be your dream especially if you want to do great work and if you want never live an ordinary life. Sometimes, as you build this life, people will see you as doing too much but you aren’t. You want to be able to exhaust all the potentials you can exhaust before leaving this earth so that the divine deity will smile so hard at you when you reach heavens gate. Hey…the guys before us who made a lot of things possible was because they put their heads down to make things work, they gave their life to work just so that things could be easy for us and you do not just want all their efforts to waste. You are obligated to not just exist in this world. It is your responsibility to be more than you can be, to impact your world, to build yourself, to improve yourself, to contribute to society in small or big ways, however way you can.
Watching: I watched Emily In Paris, Rising impact ( anime). Nothing much to say about these movies. I just used it to pass time but I just started the anime and it’s interesting. I am still in episode one. I love zero to hero story and this anime has that kinda story I think.
Reading: Ohhhhh, I read a whole lot this week. Took my classes serious and also read a book on personal development. Can’t Hurt me by David Goggins. So yeah…I have learnt that studying is a big privilege and I am so grateful for the opportunities and resources I have access to. About David book, it is teaching me to become a lady of my word and to take some things into my hand and work towards my goals. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start life all over again or you are down in some rot and you need to get out of that mess, read this book.
Discussions: I had discussions centred around life, the past, traumas and healing, money, jobs, business, goals and friendships. I had discussions with my older friends. We also talked about aging, growing old and even their experiences and perspective about life. I also had more conversations with myself this week. About my life, about some people who tried annoying me and also how life has been beautiful because of the amazing friends life has given me.
Artists I listened to last week: Listened to the christian and secular music in no particular order:
