The first duty of man is to conquer fear; he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then. -Thomas CarlyleHave you ever wondered where your life is heading to? What turn it is taking. Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things life has been showing you? Where are you actually going to? Do you know? If your life is not going the way you planned it, why not take a U-turn right where you are. It is not too late. How do I take the turn you might ask?
1. Making a decision
This is the first step to starting a new thing. Without a decision nothing can be accomplished. Making a decision is the most important and essential part in starting all over again. You might have been on a road and gone past a lot of roadblocks and difficulties but you keep persevering and making yourself unhappy just to satisfy others and hoping one day you will leave all behind. If you have not yet made the decision to leave you will keep persevering and hurting yourself until you finally summon the courage to take the turn then you will but without the decision you won't. So decide now to take the turn and start over.2. Build up your courage
Courage is the next
step after the decision has been made. Once decision is made courage should be
the next line of action. When you are still on the road of perseverance, you
don't need to keep persevering. You need to make the decision and build up your
courage to take the turn to a much better life. The kind you desire and
deserve. Once a decision is made, there would be a lot of setbacks,
discouragement from your past and yourself. There would be a kind of fighting
between the two of you and you would be scared of the unknown. Those are set
backs that you need not to be scared of because the more you keep going on the
same track the more harm you bring on yourself because you will never be
fulfilled at all or at least to your capability and expectations. So why not
pick up the courage and take the turn not to go round but to take the U-turn.
3. Set out on the right path
Think of the reason(s) you took the turn. What is the main
reason why you had to change your direction? What is it you want to get and achieve?
If you had gotten the answer then you can on your pedal towards the goal. Don't
think of the past anymore you are now on the right path. Start thinking of
things you can do to make it better. Don't dwell on the past, create new
things, think of new methods, don't continue on the normal ways you've been
doing things. Set a new goal for the new path, a new destination and drive
towards it.
4. Stay on the track
There will always be
distractions, other paths to follow, and attractive but destructive ways to
turn to. You need to stay on the track, don't lose focus. Even when you think you
have stumble on the path, stand up and keep bouncing back. Don't let anything
keep you down. Always have the thinking of a winner. Keep believing in yourself
and don't look back. Have the attitude of an achiever, a winner. Always take a
risk, no matter the circumstances. Refuse to quit because winners never quit
and quitters never win. Don't limit your potentials. You are a potential
winner. Keep moving and stay on the track, never lose focus. Move as fast as
your ability can carry you. Don't limit yourself, be relentless. When your car
breaks down, repair and refuel then continue on your journey to greatness.
Falling down does not make you a failure, quitting does. Never give up, keep
moving. Don't listen to strange voices; listen to the silent voice in you that
is telling you not to give up and move towards your goal. Then at the end you
will never regret taking the turn.
