Under a lot of pressure right now.. pressures from within and external ones too.
As a result of this I went ahead to listen to a series of talks with the preconcieved
notion that the people speaking would have answers to how to be successful at what u do.
I went there and boy did these folks talk up a storm or what?
there were different types of advice on how to be 'successful'. Initially i was caught up in all the buzz words that were being used. After a while it all began to sound like a broken record and then i went into my own world to try to analyse the core of what was being said.. While doing this my line of though shifted and for some strange reason it shifted to how different people dance to the same piece of music in different ways and how people interprete situations differently.
It was at this point the significance of this dawned on me...
Success is not about buckling under the weight of external pressures but harnessing the various pressures from within and allowing them to steer you along your own path... Then you would have danced to the music called life in the way which you heard it without imitating another.
While in this reverie of mine, i was jolted out of it by a friend who wanted to have her pictures taken.. I then got up albeit reluctantly and looked at the list of speakers again. As i did this i was filled with a new level of respect for them because i realised it was not about the buzz words but how they have been able to ignore most of the external pressures and harness the internal ones... And this in my humble opinion is what makes them so successful at what they do....
