Onward And Forward - Keep Pressing on
The past is already history, and like history, it cannot be changed. What you have to focus your attention more on is the present moment and of course, the future. A bad past doesn't mean a bad future. What you need to do is to channel your energy to build your present moment, and your future will be built. The actions of today will greatly affect how the future will look like. So do not allow your situation to dictate your steps, keep pressing on.
The point where it looks like you have lost the willingness to keep moving is the point you need to put in the most required action. The reason is that at the point of a major breakdown, the opposition is usually toughened. In a football match for example, when it is approaching the stoppish time, the opposition will experience an increase because by the time the whistle goes, the winner will be declared. If any team gives up at the sight of the opposition, they will be walked over and the other team will be declared the winner.
In life, whatever happens, always resolve within your mind that you cannot give up. Most of the people you see as winners are not those that never faced challenges but are those that were able to press on even at the presence of fierce challenges. As a matter of fact, your challenges are what define your victory. You cannot become an Olympic gold medalist without putting up against oppositions. In the same way, in life, your breakthrough is hinged on the challenges you face.
The rank of a general is not gifted to any random soldier at the comfort of their home. It is after he has proven himself worthy through battle, then he will be qualified to attain that rank. In sailing for example, a good captain is not made on the calm waters of the river but on the boisterous waters and the billows of the sea. To overcome a challenge, you do not just need to get ready on the day of the challenge, but you need to keep yourself ready to welcome the challenge anytime.
A student that waits until the day of the exam to prepare for the paper has already signed up for a result that is below par. What makes a good student is their preparation and their readiness before exam. This will give them the oomph to take the exam because they have already seen the end result - the certificate. The stress of preparation may be seen as "too much" to the uninitiated, but it is nothing compared to the stress of failing due to lack of preparation.
When you want to undertake a task, you need to have a resolution within yourself that you will stop at nothing until success beckons. This resolution will keep you going even when the terrain seems a bit tough or when things do not work as you had initially intended it to. Expecting a life that is totally void of challenges is like living a life full of mirages. The occurrence of challenges is inevitable, you only need to brace up to welcome them.
Thanks for reading
Hi @samminator when you succeed in understanding that we are individuals who go through highs and lows throughout our existence, at that point we will realize that no matter what happens we will always achieve our goals, a little push would suffice.
Based on the above,
"The point at which you seem to have lost the will to keep moving is the point at which you must perform the most necessary action." It is aqualudos
Wow! Such an excellent and insightful comment. I agree with you that whatever happens, we should believe that we will achieve our goals. Thanks buddy
Hello @samminator!
We can not live anchored to the past, that does not allow us to move forward and see clearly what we want in our future to work on it, we must learn to let go, not carry weights and move forward in any area of our life despite the difficulties. Greetings!
Exactly the truth. If we must move forward, then we have to leave the past and focus on the future. Thanks so much @yusvelasquez
Challenges, problems, are some of the things that we face when we undertake something, in any field, and it is part of us to know it and be prepared to face it.
thanks for sharing
We should be prepared at all times so that challenges will not take us unawares.
Thanks a lot buddy
Who said life was easy? If we think like that, we will get discouraged at the first difficulty, but if we stay motivated, we have clear what we want, we will achieve our goals, we will move forward. We will keep pushing.
Motivating post, thank you.
Life will always present with challenges but we should not see the challenges that they are to stop us but to make us even better. Thanks for the comment buddy
Your first sentence is based on good philosophy.
You are right the past cannot be changed, but you can change your future, both the immediate future and the long term future, and you should never ever ever ever fall into the bad vibes that can leave something that went wrong in your immediate past.
Thanks for the nice and insightful comment buddy. Yes, we should not allow bad vibes to rob us of a glorious future.
Cheers buddy
Hi @samminator
The phrase keeps pushing, from my perspective I interpret it as a continuous act of CONSTANCE, I liked this you mention "the appearance of challenges is inevitable, you just need to prepare to welcome them", certainly we must be mentally and physically prepared to face any circumstance.
Best regards, be well.
Well said, while preparing to face challenges, we should also get our mental and physical self ready.
Thanks a lot buddy
There are life issues that will try to break down even the strongest of all men, these life issues will serve as a pull back towards the attainment of progress but like you have correctly mentioned, the goal is to keep striving and pushing until eventually success is attained.
That's right, the only option is to keep pushing on and not giving up.
Thanks a lot bro for dropping by
Hard work is the only only whole and sole factor that will affect once future. If you don't work hard you will never get success.
I agree with this point a bad past does not say that he will be having bad future.
Example jack ma , founder of alibaba failed more then 100's of time but finally he get success as he was very hard working and dedicated to the work.
Yes the pressure will be built but we need to cover that pressure.
I love the example you gave about Jack Ma, this summaries the whole post. If we will not give up, then success will be the final result.
Thanks a lot buddy
That's right friend, when we have a purpose and undertake a task we must have the right attitude, and for that we need to maintain the motivation that makes us undertake that task, since it is not the past circumstances that will determine our future success, it is what we decide to do in the present.
I love the last part of your comment. Yes, the past does not determine the future as much as the present does. Thanks a lot @emiliomoron
Greetings @samminator.
It is very important what you bring in this topic, many people when they begin to see the difficult things get discouraged and do not continue to achieve their goal, it is very important to always have optimism and want to do things well, when they begin to become difficult means that we are closer to achieve it and it is time to strive even more, for all the challenges that life has for us, we must prepare ourselves to face each and every one of them.
That's right. With optimism, no goal is unachievable. We only need to focus on the goal and refuse to quit.
Thanks a lot buddy for the nice comment
