Go for what you want
YOUR DESTINY IS IN YOUR HANDS
Imagine yourself on a journey, and you come across a flowing river without a means to cross that river. At that moment, your progress and time of arrival at your desired destination is entirely your hands, you either dive into that river and swim across it to the other side, or you wait for a boat that may never come to convey you to the other side. You could dive into it and get carried away by the tides, but if you really want to get to the other side, you will take strokes after strokes till you arrive at your destination.
Sometimes, the people who are not expected to reach certain places or achieve certain levels of success will surpass people's expectations, not because they were better than some other people, but because they were not ready to let go of what they felt belonged to them, they grabbed the bull by the horn, they faced their fears, and they were ready to fail for as long as it would take for them to succeed.
You do not rise because you have to rise, you do not become great because you have to become great; you rise or become great because you pushed yourself to it, because you work hard for it, because you pushed yourself beyond limits. Underdogs become winners, because they fought tirelessly to win; dreamers become builders because they planned and worked towards what they dreamt of. Their secrets are in their work.
You can either fold your hands and watch how someone else grabs what is meant to be yours, or you can go all out and grab what you want for yourself. The eagle does not soar until it spreads its wings to fly. Gather your clay, prepare your tables, and sculpt your life into your desired size, shape, and style. The hands that tremble now will become steady. The steps that falter now will stride. Go build your own legend.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
