DELAYED GRATIFICATION

   We spend our lives working hard to be where we are at now just to feel like there is a lot more that we are yet to accomplish. It needs to click in your mind that being conscious and grateful about the moment in time you are in, sets off a wave in the universe that will draw your goals closer to you. It always feels like the progress is happening slower than you anticipated but the true value of achieving your life goals lies in the process that you take to get there. Your long term goal should influence what you do now. Getting caught up in "the moment", by the moment I mean indulging in things that have nothing to do with your goals, will only set you back. It can get exciting experiencing the external world but you risk the chance of missing out on opportunities that take you closer to the end game. Distractions will always be there, you have to try and be aware every moment of your existence for you to control your thought process.

   The small steps that you take matter. If you set a high bar for yourself, it means the journey will not be easy. Only your mindset can keep you from quitting or slowing down. Control your thoughts, control your life. This is one of my life mantras. Human beings are beyond blessed. We have the power of consciousness, the power to control all the thoughts that we plant in our minds. It is quite a profundity once you start to understand that everything that has happened in your life is as a result of all the conditioned thoughts that has been embedded in your mind since birth, whether you are conscious about it or not. This is why it is of essence that you learn how to keep your mind in a state of awareness for you to realize that you can control how you react to different situations without causing yourself unnecessary stress. Free your mind by accepting all that you have gone through, it is the only way you can heal and release that build up of energy within blocking you from growth.

   Everything that is meant to be yours is meant to be drawn to you inevitably but all the worry, doubts, built up emotions and distractions keep you from receiving what's yours. Visualize what you want, believe it is yours, plan your moves and execute meticulously everyday, eventually abundance will flow into your life effortlessly. You deserve to live the life that you want, love yourself enough to know and accept what will be required of you and gear up. Don't allow yourself to settle for mediocrity or short hand gains, the end game is what matters. You are improving yourself now in preparation for your future self who will have the skills to execute milestones with precision. If it is important enough to you, you will do whatever it takes to get there. It will happen, trust the process.
