Wishing Or Doing – A Catalyst For Destruction Or Development.

Wishing Or Doing – A Catalyst For Destruction Or Development.

The easiest thing to do for any human is to wish or desire something but the process after that desire is another story. It’s the steps after that desire that usually determines in what direction that wish leads, which could lead towards actualising that desire or stall it.

Majority of us are guilty of having a wish but remain wishing rather than putting together machinery on how to bring that wish into reality. We now begin to wander around it, think about it, analyse it and yet not doing anything about it – either consciously or unconsciously, the wish remains in the same position and its title is not changing to nothing else but just another wish.

The very moment you begin to have a desire for a particular thing or person, then that moment a new project is born and for the status of that project to change, it’s not only important to be prepared but identify your resources and needs, then break that into milestones to measure your progress. A lot of factors need to be considered to achieve your desire and they include:

·Will this desire add any form of quality to my life?

· Do I really need it?

· Will this desire impact any other part of my life negatively?

· With who and who am I to work with to actualise this desire?

· In order for this desire to be – do I need to remove some people from my life or adjust my lifestyle?

·What would be the implication of my pursuit on other desires of mine? Or any after-effect on     acquisition?

· Is the timing of this desire accurate and conducive?

· What’s my plan to mitigate any risk encountered in the process?

· If I fail to acquire this desire, then what do I need to fall back on?

· Most importantly – If I don’t get it eventually, then I have no reason to hold on to it or trade blames. At least I tried.

With majority of these factors considered and their conditions met, then there is zero reason to think and think them over – the only valid option here is to forge ahead and chase that desire with consideration for every possibilities, parameters and permutations along the line. It’s worth noting that whatever you desire, there are millions of people on this planet too that share your wish but only the most determined, most consistent and most prepared will be crowned at the end of the day.

However, if you chased it and eventually you couldn’t get it. That does not in any way makes you a loser, you made mistakes along the line and that’s fine, now you are not only smarter but more knowledgeable to try again if you so wish. There is absolutely nothing wrong in failing but everything is wrong when you give up midway.

Only the one trying is learning and developing. Those busy thinking over and over are only asking for confusion – no, they are not planning. They are seeking for a reason not to attempt it and trust me they will always find one if not series of it.

The moment you continue to think – all sorts of factors are now creeping into your head and they are only on one mission, which is to discourage you from doing it. Those factors include but not limited to:

·         Oh Lord – What if it doesn’t work out?

·         Damn, I will be so ashamed if this turned out wrong.

·         What will people say?

·         This is so scary.

·         I am so afraid

·         Where do I start from?

·         Well, I don’t think I can do this.

·         I will try next year.

·         No, I don’t think I am ready for this.

·         Nah, I give up.

All these factors were not there at the inception of the idea but you made them out of your over-thinking and they successfully created the greatest enemy of development in you – Fear! This fear in turn is so comfortable in you that it sends invitations out to its cousins such as stagnancy, failure, low self-esteem and ultimately poverty.

Our desire can either make us or break us. No doubt, not all that we desire is meant for us but the truth here is you can’t just assume without trying. We humans only desire from the surface but the actual attraction or purpose is found on the journey while chasing that desire.

Sometimes to find your purpose, you will have to have your fingers in all pies. Some people became teachers only when they started teaching their nephews and nieces, just as some people developed an interest in engineering by watching and helping their uncle or father disassemble and reassemble some mechanical equipment.

Feel free to chase your desires, there is usually nothing to lose. Worst case scenario, you will learn something new and gain more experience. The time is always right to do whatever you think is right.

Any form of postponing is nothing but unnecessary stalling that should not be encouraged.

Well – I have a desire to chase. Catch up soon.
