The sacrifices that comes with elevating oneself

    One thing I have come to learn about life and people is that, if we are so comfortable in the position we are in, with no plan to move forward or do anything challenging, then we are doing everything wrong.

    The moment we are satisfied with our current position is when stagnation finds a spot in our life, this is why we must never be too comfortable in one spot as long as time is ticking and others are advancing.

    No amount of money is enough to make you arrive at a decision that you do not want to earn anymore and you want to live life to the fullest, if that is how life is designed, the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and other billionaires and wealthy people won't keep earning even though they top the world richest.

    I am someone who does not like to lose so I was always scared of competition I ended up not competing but as time went on, I learned another lesson.

    Losing one time does not make you a loser; the more you lose, the better you become.

    I do not engage in competition that I see no chance or hope of winning because I see it as effort and time wastage but If I just see a glimpse of Hope or a chance of winning, I give it my all and I will never quit till I get to the finish line, I overcome to my fears and the only thing on my mind is that goal am trying to achieve.

    I am a lover of food and I don't joke with my stomach, I eat as many times as possible in a day, but sometimes when I have a big goal in front of me, I often starve myself to achieve the goal.

    The story I am about to share is known by my readers because I have written on it times without numbers but it never gets old because I know someone has yet to read it, someone who needs hope might come across it.

    It is the story of my first loan, I got to know about an opportunity that would change my status but I do not have the resources to do it and after a deep thought, only a loan could save me but I have never taken a loan.

    The fear of the unknown almost changed my mind, what If things go south and I am not able to pay back, what if this, what if that, all these are demons of stagnation that everyone deals with, while some people overcome their fears, some let it win over them and end up doing nothing to elevate themselves.

    I let go of my fears and took the loan but there was a price to pay, The price I paid was starving myself for months and not eating as much as I used to until I paid back the loan and interest.

    It affected me, imagine someone who used to eat good food now drinking garri most time just to cut expenses but it paid off in the end, and I was able to continue eating well after I elevated myself.

    I often do this whenever I have a big goal ahead of me and it has been paying well... Leave your comfort zone!
