“Leave
your excuses and live your dreams” ~ Paul Davis.
Over
the past 9 days we have been on the series that focuses on the success habits
every success-minded individual need to develop and I have been getting interesting
feedbacks and comments. Thanks for following my daily posts. If at anytime you miss
any of my post or you want to read any previous one, you can always find them
on www.nicholasae.blogspot.com

I will love to get your comments and contributions because I know you have a
lot to share.
One
of my ardent followers buzzed with a concern on success. His questions was how
does the general adage “No hurry in life and slow and steady wins the race”
connect to the issue of time in yesterday’s post? I am going to try and address
this today.
While
I was growing up, there was one popular proverb we played with in school, it
says “Because the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing, birds have learnt
to fly without perching”.
We
must understand that life is evolving, things are changing, they are not as it
used to be.
When
people say no hurry in life, it does not mean you should be slow in your growth
or pursuit of your dreams, neither does it mean you cannot fly if you have the
ability to. You do not tell a child who just started walking to continue
crawling because you feel he is too small to walk, if his bones can sustain
him, he is good to go. What both advice (no hurry, slow & steady) mean is
that get yourself prepared first for what you want to start cos’ if you don’t prepare
enough and hurry it into, you will crash. That is the truth. But if you
misunderstand them and you sit on your butt telling yourself that there is
still time, am sorry to inform you, time waits for no man.
A
good illustration is the picture on my DP (if you are reading from BBM or
Whatsapp). Ordinarily, the Zebra cannot outrun the Lion but with the
motorcycle, he can. But if the Zebra decides to stick with the old method of
running with his legs, hmmm my guess is as good as yours.
For
every man and woman, your responsibilities and expectations increases and grow
as you do. The amount of money needed to sustain you some years back is not the
same today, it has doubled, tripled and even more. If your income still remains
the same, then you will be in great trouble.
It
is your level of success that determines how much income you take home at the
end of the month. And you will agree with me that new inventions and
possibilities are opening up every day. People want to be part of the new happenings,
employers want to use the latest tools in the market hence they seek individuals
with such skills, customers want to associate with businesses that integrate
latest developments. If you want to increase your level of success you must
decide to start walking in areas where you have been crawling, running where
you have been walking and flying where you have been running.
Someone
said “good things come to those who wait but better things come to those who go
out and get them”.
The
world awaits you!
Please
do leave your comments.
Have
a lovely Wednesday!
I
honour you.
