In the previous posts I have been focusing on the rewards of hard work I plan on reaping one day, soon I hope. I have been sharing some of the reasons I wake up each morning and work hard even when my body is aching and my mind is convincing me how drowning in my blankets for one more hour would be the best decision on that cold winter morning. I realised though how I can not keep talking about the rewards without mentioning the nature of the process or journey that leads to fulfilling those #mustSOMETHINGlists. In most cases it is not the smoothest, easiest, bump free, challenge and hurdle free journey (EVERY ONE HAS A STORY TO TELL RIGHT?). So one has to not only overcome what ever their journey throws at them but has to continuously triumph through the daily struggles the process proves to freely give away. Daily struggles including always choosing the right (HARD) way as opposed to the multiple short cuts, instant gratifications and easy way outs that are presented to you in every corner. Being content with the lane you are in, the lane you choose (while watching others speed right past you )and most importantly keeping the dream alive and acknowledging that every step towards your dream (even small ones) count for something .The journey has a tendency of continuously shredding off what you will not need in dreamville (YES PEOPLE ARE INCLUDED IN THE SHREDDING MACHINE) and I’ve learnt not to question such as in most cases I usually kinda understand and kinda appreciate the shredding machines gesture. Reasons for the KINDA I guess is our nature as human beings to try and get back “things lost in the fire”. The process definitely requires one to have zeal, be fixated on the BIGGER picture, continuously look at the glass half full rather than half empty and yes that includes acknowledging that there will be stormy days on that road but appreciating that they are there to bring out the best in you. I’ve created a #mustAPPRECIATElist for the current phase of my journey that will make the steps I am taking a little easier.
#Appreciate the late nights doing assignments
#Appreciate the early mornings waking up and going to work
#Appreciate the walks you take from Oxford road to Jan Smuts ave
#Appreciate the weekends (Saturday &Sunday) you spend with group members
FOR THOSE ARE THE SMALL DROPS OF WATER THAT WILL ONEDAY BE THE OVERFLOWING RIVER.
