BEST AMAZING TALENT
[Source](my school studio)
Hard work never stop until success is achieved. Usually I use to be amazed how rock cutters or breakers (those who break stones) do not relent no matter how big/ hard the stone nn may be, they use all their strength, power, expeirence to make sure they do all they can to break the stones.
When I was much younger, for the first time in my life I met some stone cutters who came to break a large rock in my neighborhood. The day they started it, I soliloquise asking myself "are these guys out of their mind or senses? Do they know what they are about to do?"
Attempting to break a rock that occupies a land space that two bed room flat could be built on was unimaginable, and it wasn’t funny nor was a child’s play; these were my thoughts.
I actually thought, breaking a huge rock like that was impossible but you know what? After several days, the rock disappeared. They had successfully broken it and leveled the ground.
The attitude they portrayed towards their job is so impressive. Normally, I could never imagine that such a stone could be broken, not just broken but so much broken into pieces.
I actually observed carefully therocesses involved in breaking that stone in my neighborhood by the stone cutters. I observed that ...
× They exerted much pressure on the stone though it was hard.
- × They persisted and showed consistency.
× These guys never took a day off, they kept coming every day.
- × They never gave up no matter how tasking it was.
× They believed and hoped on themselves that someday, the stone will be history and truly, with their effort and consistency, the stone is a history today.
If they had gave up, they wouldn’t have succeeded.
******=>Here is also a true live story of three young brothers who went hunting. Where I come from (Dutse Sagbagyi of FCT-Abuja, Gbagyi land in the middle belt of Nigeria), hunting is another occupation aside farming which is the major occupation. As these young brothers went for hunting, they saw a hole where rabbit inhabits. They dug and dug but at the end, they gave up, and left the hole and moved upward. Not too long, another hunter who passed by in that same pathway saw the hole the three brothers left, he said: “If these people had known, they wouldn’t have left this hole.” This hunter made just a hit and he caught the rabbit.
It happened to me in my first time in my high institution when i was. given assignment on model making this time around it was not a the usual block model that we the Town Planners do after a design. Now it was acr model as shown above. It almost give up because i think i can make, but so any attempt i excel.
Several times I have also given up on myself and my dreams. I have given up on projects and before now, little things could get me frustrated hence; I give up. I would start a thing today but for lack of persistence, lack of consistency, focus and lack of determination, I will give up and let it go. Infact, I have lost finances, good relationships, favours, open doors and lots of good things because I refused to HIT hard at my visions, dreams, hustles, my goals, desires, projects and deals "ONE MORE TIME". I have fainted a lot and unfortunately, it’s usually at my door of breakthrough and achievement I often give up. But after a long time, I got to understand just like the guys who cut/break stones that CONSISTENCY, FOCUS, DETERMINATION and PERSISTENCE are tools in achieving set goals. I needed to keep pushing daily despite rough times. I realized if I could KEEP DOING the RIGHT THING ALL THE TIME, I will surely
come out victoriously. I also realized that truly, the journey is not easy but if I am focused and if I BELIEVE IN MYSELF, NOTHING can stop me. I also had to increase my Faith and I came to terms with my spirit that consistency, determination, focus are necessities and are pertinent in achieving life's goals. Of a truth though it could be hard sometimes, but ever since I realized all these, giving up has never been a pathway to take and I have achieved so much because I have consciously believed in myself.
I dare you too today to intentionally "believe in the you inside of you" and to often "HIT ONE MORE TIME" in all you do because that could be the HIT you will ever need to achieve your dream through steemit. Continue to hit one more time and positive in your thoughts and decisions because low upvoting in your steemit post may of great discourage to you but never give up.
A lot of people are just like the three brothers who went hunting and gave up when they needed to HIT just one more time. You may be in this category of hunters just as I was. Little things scare you that when you get to the centre of your journey, you give up and turn backwards. Often it’s when you are close to your breakthrough that the journey gets tough. This attitude of inconsistency and lack of perseverance have eaten up destinies and made many failures. If only you can persist and persevere then, you can move mountains.
Conclusively, may I say that in all you do, giving up shouldn’t be a pathway for you to follow. At the middle of the deep blue sea it may be hard and tough couple with the fact that the deep blue sea is a home for sharks. It’s pertinent that you know this: it is at that very moment that you are close to your breakthrough. Are you on an academic pursuit , marital journey, are you embarking on a project, online network business, seeking financial freedom, seeking wisdom, or even seeking God? What so jever you are doing, you want to do or desire to achieve you must:
-Trust God
- Believe in yourself. What anyone says about you doesn’t matter, it is what you say and think about yourself that matters.
- Be consistent and persistent.ni
- Believe what you do and have "an undoubted Faith"
- Exert pressure in all you do (Doing everything with all your strength and with the whole of your heart.
- Use all you have to do all you can
- Be diligent and never think of turning back
Again I say most importantly, Trust and believe God for he has. said “Trust in the Lord with the whole of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
Him and He shall direct your part.
As you continue to strive and post the work of your knowledge never you shake and worry of who to upvote and comment on them.
Best of luck. [Source](personal capture)
