What I’ve learnt from supporting Chelsea Football Club over the years. Chelsea not qualifying for the champions league every year has its own advantage; they are the first and only club to have won all known UEFA European Club Competition trophies till date.
But while this article is not about Chelsea as a football club, it is about how to take advantage of whatever position you find yourself per time and craft your own greatness.
Life is like the price of bitcoin, it will do as if it is going down and may even be down for a while but when it shoots up, it grows beyond expectation and everyone that owns some bit of it are happy but the secret to that growth is the consistency in its inconsistency. It goes up down up down then up up up.
Whatever position or wherever you are today is as a result of decisions you made years ago and the accumulation of your daily habits over the years, blaming someone else for your failure or not willing to take responsibilities to see the change you desire will only keep you down.
If you find yourself in a position that you don’t want, how do you maximize whatever opportunity is available to you and turn things around for good?
These points below will help you to navigate through the ups and downs and keep you on a steady growth if you choose to take action;
1. Accept the fact that where you are is not good enough for you
It has often been said that no matter the level you are today, there is always a better place to be and what if where you are is not where you should be?
The first step to seeing and experiencing growth is to be humble enough to accept that where you are is not good enough, you need to improve on your lifestyle and change levels.
Pride sometimes blinds the minds of people and makes you feel comfortable at a certain level and you will always find excuse to defend yourself against the people that are doing better than you are.
While it’s important to thank God for where you are, please note that there is a place better than where you are and you can get there.
2. Take responsibility to become a better person
Accepting where you are is not enough but taking responsibilities to change levels is important.
No matter the challenges or excuses that got you to where you are today, the only way out is to take responsibility for your life and move forward.
Apply for that job now, do that online certification now, go back to school now, start that business now, stop those bad habits now.
Procrastination is a destroyer of destiny, it will only complicate your woes, taking steps in the right direction is what you need right, so start taking steps right away.
3. Never lose your joy
In all, maintain your steeze. Dress well, look good, say positive things to yourself, don’t see the challenges, see opportunities. Never ever lose your joy no matter where you are. Depression and the fear of depression will only do you more harm than good.
In conclusion: Chelsea football club have found themselves in unwanted positions over the years but they have always turned it around for good, bringing trophies home for their fans.
You can also turn your situations around for good and become a better you if only you are willing and obedient.
Take steps, improve your daily habits, make better decisions for your life going forward, put an end to unwanted habits that will only keep you in the same position or end up destroying your life, appreciate and celebrate every small win, it will end up becoming bigger. It will end in praise for you.
With Love,
