SUCCESS PRESSURE PUMP: ESCAPING THE RAT RACE 3
Hello beautiful people. I want to hit the hammer and end now.
We may ask: HOW DO PEOPLE GET PRESSURED INTO THIS RAT RACE... REALLY?
Social media is just one pressure pump.
HOW DO PEOPLE GET HERE?
Three ways quickly...
- THEY NEVER SIT
So the number one reason as well as way out of this rat race for success is to SIT DOWN!!! To think, to ask: what am I here for? What's my purpose? The birth of purpose is the death of competition. We no longer feel an urgent need to do something because someone is doing it. We know our lane, and we stick to it. The problem is that people never sit down to plan or ask: How do I pursue my plans in line with my purpose?
THEY NEVER STAND
Stand up to who they are. To do this, you must understand life. Principles are the ways we understand life. Principles are our "Under-Standing." We stand on them! Stand up to your principles. As a human being, you must have a set of principles that guide your actions or inactions. Principles like integrity, patience, honesty, genuineness, effort. If you are patient you won't chase after things you see as success.
You will face your business and grow! You will see a fine car and admire it. But you move on. You tell yourself, "I may not have it now but I will have it one day. I just need to keep working". The third reason why people end up in the rat race...THEY NEVER WALK.
Never walk the talk. Never act on their plans. We attend classes and take notes but we never take action.
The more you don't take action on the plans developed in line with your purpose, the more you keep seeing people as doing better than you. So, to escape the success pressure pump and avoid the rat race, you have to:
Sit - think, know your purpose
Stand - have principles you stand on.
Walk - take action, walk the talk in line with your purpose.
As I close because of time, remember this summary:
You are not a twin. Even twins have their own paths.
You are not in a competition to succeed first. Everyone has their life o'clock.
Not all that glitters on social media is gold. Even if it's gold, not every gold is yours.
Know your purpose and stick to it. Trust God for direction on what things to do on your unique path to destiny.
Work hard, but don't do so to show off or to the detriment of your mental health and personal fulfillment. Nothing is as fulfilling as doing what you were born to do. Stay in your lane.
Life na turn by turn!
Thank you!
NEVER FORGET THIS MANTRA TO ESCAPE THE RAT RACE.
- SIT- think and plan
- STAND- on principles
- WALK- walk the talk
I like that part about principles. Unless you are convinced of yours, it’ll be hard to find any path.
