Your Convenience,Your Curse

Sitting here in this “cozy” office without an air conditioner to calm my troubled brain, my mind takes me on a roller coaster to past events and I remember the happenings that has framed me the man I have become.

Growing up in an environment that forced my potentials to come out was one of the best things that ever happened to me as a man who has grown to a level where people appreciate and see him as a role model and mentor of a sort.

But you see, it didn't all start like “this” for me or for anyone who is been celebrated today. The glamour, respect, honors and appreciation often covers up the many years of suffering and pain but it doesn't eliminates the memories of the fact that it existed.

As what people often call a “motivational speaker and writer”, I have always been a strong fan of biographies and books that allows me access into people’s minds and stories not to inspire me as an ardent reader but to confirm the fact that the principles that I live my life by works for other people and not just for me (makes me feel less special).

These principles has over time helped me and others to set their lives in perspective and set the pace for long lasting progress  and growth as we go through this journey called LIFE.

One of such principles is what many will tag “Leave your comfort zone” and in this context it will mean despising ones comfort for the greater good of creating a desirable future.

Success determines where it goes and who it follows and trust me when I say you cant have it when you don’t badly want it enough to leave where your comfort zone.

In the school of success, your convenience becomes your curse when your comfort zone becomes your abiding tent rather than the battle field for the glory you desire.

The difference between where you are and your desired destination is  your convenience. The truth is, if you badly want it, you’ll leave your convenience  which is the plague stopping you from having it to the battle ground where you get to confront your fears head-to-head to have your desires gained and your dreams fulfilled.

Every dream remains at the borders of your mind when your convenience becomes more comfortable than the battle field; it will never surface reality or taste materiality if you don’t work it.

So my advice is this, ‘Leave your convenience, “be cursed” and bear the cost and celebrate later’.
