We are presently in a world that is obsessed with convenience and also comfort but most times we want it to come speedily. I myself has been in this web because I want things to be better, I want to live comfortably and better.
But the truth is nothing really meaningful will come out of life without sacrifice. And some times the one thing we have to sacrifice is Time.
At this point in my life, one thing I really need is time...Let me go deeper into it.
This year, I have found out that I have given my time to every thing except the thing that really matters; Growth.
I have seen myself scrolling endlessly on social media space for hours, I do go on pointless conversations that actually doesn't aid my growth, and most times work that keeps me stagnant and not really adding anything to my growth. Always busy but then way behind where I want to be. It dawned on me that I have to start owning my time, if I want to own my future; if I want to grow.
Sacrificing time doesn't mean I have to do a whole lot of things throughout the day but it is just about saying no to things that doesn't add up to my growth.
Whenever I look around, I realize that I am behind and not just behind others but behind the person I know I could be. I don't lack the talent or vision. It is just that I haven't used my time efficiently as I should.
I have decided to sacrifice something; Borrow my time from the endless scrolling, from the unending conversations to buy my growth. My goals are really clear; to grow my career, to develop my skills etc. I do want financial freedom, I don't just want to survive but to love with purpose. I don't want to spend hours sleeping away the days that are meant for building.
It is very clear that I have to wake up with intention not just because it's a new day but because I have work to do on myself, my skills and my future.
I know change doesn't come overnight, it is a long journey. Growth actually takes time and that's exactly what I will give it. I have to sacrifice my comfort to sharpen my mind, letting go of procrastination and embracing discipline. When others are distracted, I should be focused. When they are moving with the crowd of pleasure, I should be building. I am going to let the results speak.
I want more and I deserve more. In the future, I will look back with pride that I made this trade; I borrowed TIME to buy GROWTH!!
