Half measure...

There are very few people I know who apply themselves to make the most of every opportunity presented. It has become a norm to encounter people who have high expectations of life, yet feel demotivated to do everything with an enormous appetite to succeed. These are the ones who usually complain and eventually regress into the doldrums of life where they are neither challenged nor remotely accessible. Yet, one of the key secrets to life is that one cannot remain in the same place as you were before for too long. One cannot remain satisfied with nothingness when you possess great potential which can not only change your own destiny forever, but also those close to you.

I have often desired to understand the psyche of those who do everything half measure. Inevitably I understand that they will find someone to blame, find solace in identifying an episode from their childhood or resurrect something from their past to serve as a reason for their lack of motivation. Whether validity exists in the cranium of our excuses is quite frankly neither here nor there. We need to understand that we will not progress very far if everything we do is done half measure or with a heart diluted with fear and ambivalence. If it requires one to address the past and lay the remains of a distorted past to rest, then we need to do so in order to live a life which measures up to our expectations.

The road which leads to success is often riddled with challenges, but too many people have become trapped in having breakdowns along the way or they abandon their dreams with the excuse that they might take it up later. Life is to embraced with vigour, with a determination to not only succeed, but to ensure that one lives a life without regrets yet one budding with opportunity to become more than you are.
