KNOW YOUR TIME ZONE!

in #motivation7 years ago (edited)

Sometimes in life we hold on to the belief that we are not successful simply because we feel our supposed mates have gone far ahead of us. We find ourselves caught up with such feeling that we almost suspend our lives and end up acting as watch over other people's lives. We continue in this manner only to realize years later that we have actually been living another man's life, the result of which is often compounded frustration. The decision to go back and start living our own lives most of the times, results colossal waste of time and vigour.

Now, what if we maintained our lane and focused completely on our life's goals? Could you just imagine yourself evaluating your life based on how much you have done and how far you have gone, rather than using other people's lives as a yardstick to measure yours? What a great experience it would be, you say! But unfortunately, just very few of us can do this really successfully, in spite of how simple it appears.

The benefits of knowing and understanding your TIME ZONE can not be overemphasized. It brings this deep sense of purpose and fulfillment which words can hardly explain. Up till the moment you have this understanding you will always find yourself competing unnecessarily with others. unlike in the capitalist economy where competition is believed to be a recipe for innovations, this kind competition inhibits personal progress or growth.

Competing with people can be really frustrating, frustrating because the people you think you are in a competition with rarely even know you are competing with them. One of the chief dangers of using others as the yardstick for measuring your life is that you forfeit your life while leading theirs for them. You end up becoming more like them while becoming less of yourself. Instead of becoming better at what you do, you tend to always want to prove to them that you are better than they are. Ironically life is never a competition, which is interestingly why you will always find yourself in web of frustration while trying to compete with others.

It is imperative we understand that no one can be the best of who we are, hence we can not be the best of someone else. That you are not where you want to be does not mean you won't be where you ought to be. That is, that you are not there is not an indication that you will not get there. There is really no difference between THERE and HERE save for their spellings. How do i mean? The only difference between the two is that while the former has a T, the latter does not have; and the T only stands for TIME. This implies that as long you remain focused you will definitely get there.

I want to believe you now can see that it's of no use competing with others. As a matter of fact and of interest, if you must compete at all, it has to be with yourself. That is, on a daily basis, you must make it a point of commitment to become better than you were the previous day. Are you still wondering why you must not compete with others? Well, the reason lies solely in the fact that we have different TIME ZONES.

REMEMBER: You are simply unique, and you are unique to yourself alone; this uniqueness is what in fact makes YOU SPECIAL.

There is no need for competition, I don't want to walk in the shadows of others

No. Being in the shadow of others pays no one bro. Thanks for stopping by bro.

Hmm... you are very right. I keep telling myself this (though not in the same words), but sometimes.... sometimes... I would just look at my neighbour and feel a little jealous.

But then as usual, reading your article has inspired me to become better.

Like you said, I am unique... to myself alone and my uniqueness makes me special. I would keep telling myself that when my mind wants to start deviating.

Thank you so much for this. I would be expecting more of this from you. Good job!

Thanks bro. Of course, sometimes you can not just but get jealous, but you must resolve to always affirm those words to yourself.
I really appreciate your comment bro, and yes, you will get more of this subsequently. Thanks for stopping by.
