Hi, it’s been a while. I’ve been away not because I was busy: I’ve been away because I had been drifting. And that brings me back with this subject, “opportunity, consistency and focus.”
The order of words don’t matter—it popped into my mind earlier as, “consistency, opportunity and focus”—words are just words: what matters is what we make of them.
Now let’s get to the subject matter without wasting time. What does this trio mean in my context? Well, personally, I’ve come across many opportunities—which I took, however didn’t take full potential of them hitherto. Am I happy about that? Absolutely not.
If this could be my mistake which I’m rectifying, I felt the urge to pass it to many probably in the same sinking ship or another contemplating purchase of a ticket to another epic Titanic.
Dear Reader, whether you agree or not, you are presented with opportunities. As a matter of fact, your existence everyday is an opportunity to make wrongs right, smash your horizon and take a bold step. “I wish I were…” scratch that! What on earth are you doing with the little opportunities presented to you? Moreover, spotting opportunities aren’t enough, are you consistent in line with what you are presented with? This whole thing might look like another motivational hogwash on the internet but I implore you to ask yourself this question, “what is that one thing I have been consistent with since the beginning of this year?”
Spotting an opportunity, being consistent with the craft and sole focus on mastering the heck off it is about all we need to achieve all we want. Lemme tell you a short story,
Back in ‘98, there were no iPhones. No Google, no Wi-Fi, no Snapchat, Netflix, YouTube or PayPal. The next decade boom! Fast forward to today, these inventions are almost indispensable in our daily lives. 2021 starts a new decade and the question is what will you bring to the table? Can you work on your idea for 3 months? 1 year? Is it mere passion or a deeply rooted habit?
Urrgh my pen hand is aching already. Well, please pick the points. Spotting an opportunity isn’t enough: you gotta work ok it every single day and focus on it alone! Make your dreams come alive keep the fire burning. That’s it fellas. Love ❤️
PS: “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise….” (Proverbs 17:28)
I’m pretty sure we’re all wise. What’s keeping us from shutting the noise and staying focused?
