Once you have alternatives, your preservation in what your
goal is becomes diminished. It does not matter how far gone you are, it does
not matter the shade of obstacles you are facing. A winning mind is that one
that is focused on the goal.
Revolutions occur every day, not just in societies and
groups, but at the individual and work sphere. It is the oil that drives
lasting changes. And it is weathered by the oils of commitment. How often have
you found yourself at those inflections when every side was closing in, your
back against the wall and no help in sight. Do you remember that the situation
was so because you took a turn for the road that seemed endless? So how did
that story end?
See, no matter our goal, there must be dead commitment,
because every revolutionary dies in order for that idea to come to life. It is
a battle of the mind and also a platform for losing. If you don't want it
enough to die for it, then you never wanted it at all. Now note that the
context of death here is not in taking wrong and wicked turns to bring about of
desires. It's actually a battlefield of shedding off excess load and baggage to
reach the goal, it's a world of throwing off board all options that means a
simpler road, it's a gateway that allows only fervent, enduring and blind
faith.
Our problem most times, is that we have reduced life to what
we can get or receive and as such our commitment level is too low that what we
encourage cannot be pursued. We easily run out of steam because we are torn
between us and the mountains in sight. Yet, we must always remember that the
moment we focus on the mountain, we lose sight of the goal. Yes, there are
competing factors in every chosen endeavour, but we must find the balance in
winning.
To win is to initiate that plan with fervour, plan with
vigour, execute with passion, monitor and control with tact and to close strong
in a commanding fashion, but remember you are responsible for all your actions. Yes, it is a complex but simplex process of breaking
the seeming complex things into smaller bits, and meticulously looking over every
item ahead and in enough time.
Do not fret, it may look as if the world is crumbling,
sometimes, your little efforts may not seem to be producing any result, yet
must you keep at it for as long as it is certain and purpose driven, you will
strike goal. Do not cry away your strength, there is always light at the other
end of every tunnel, you challenge is to reach close enough to see it. The
whole place might seem so bleak, but world changers don’t become one by
quitting, they stayed even when the minutest of details showed it was failing.
They used the little past victories to strengthen their resolve. Even their
failings energized them to do more.
Remember, if you want it enough, you will end up getting it.
You don't need to fill your hands with filthy lucre. An idea is only as good as
the extent that you are ready to die to yourself for it to come to pass. You
may be the laughing stock of your team and country, Still for your idea to
begin to bring forth, death has to occur and this is commitment.
