How to get to your desired destination

“If my goals and continuous steps are not in agreement with where I want to be soon or tomorrow, then I am deceiving myself.”

If time is on my side, then the difference between where I am, and where I want to be are good and wise steps.

A police man caught a thief and decided to handcuff him, because he knew that the man may struggle with him and run away leaving him hurt. That is wisdom. This wisdom can be applied into many areas of our lives for good.

Look, when character becomes a culture, that character is like a thief. If you do not tie it down or handcuff it, it can cause you problems and make you to hurt yourself. For many people, they are not where they are because they are not able to tie down the wrong types of character and desires.

People as a matter of fact want easy life, instant gratification and more. These sorts of characters becoming culture can hinder our progress. This means, the only way to freedom is to handcuff them if you really believe that you have a purpose and great goal to achieve.

Many military men do end up becoming successful in their field of endeavors after coming out of service. The secret is, they apply the disciplinary life learnt in the military to their personal lives. The discipline makes them to say no to the enemies of progress like laziness, lack of goals, lack of following purpose…etc.

In life, most people can make it if they tie themselves down. My personal research does reveal that many do not make it to where they desired to be because they took wrong courses and steps. Think about some African nations for example: they claim wanting progress and do say they are making progress, but, they are sleeping.

The truth is that, though they brag of wanting to do this and that, they do not take the right steps towards the achievements—in fact, the monies to be used for those achievements end up becoming properties of most of these braggers. These and more make Africa to end up becoming beggar and non-great achiever although it is supposed to.

Taking the wrong steps will always lead to a wrong place. Israel is in the Middle East—if I want to go to Israel, I must take my steps towards the east, and not towards the north.

Our lives can be better, and we can get there if we take wise and simple steps. However, if I take the wrong steps and wrong directions, there is a guarantee that, I will not end up where I desired to be.

Dear, let's have clear and good goals and pursue them like a lion after its prey without hurting anyone along the way. I am saying this because, the Merciful God is also a God of judgment who will judge all in eternity. Blessings!!!!!!!
