I wish I was still back in school!
Welcome back!
Do you ever find yourself saying.. “Man! I wish I was still back in school! Or “ Man! I wish I was a kid again!” If you’re like me, I have said those same words many times in my adult life. At first, I used to say this because I missed the fun times during those years, then as I thought about it further, and the reason why I said those words is because I missed the optimistic person I was at the time. The feeling that after school I will be this, I will achieve this, I will have this! At a young age we already develop goals, dreams and ambitions, whether it may be being a fireman, an astronaut, the first female president, whatever it may be when we were young most of us are optimistic that we can achieve this.
But what happens when we get older, why do we suddenly feel that we cant achieve our goals? Why do we suddenly feel we can’t achieve success? As I was researching for my post today, a writer says we are pre conditioned as we get older to believe we cannot achieve our dreams. I don’t believe that. How I see it, there are situations that happen in our lives that sway us, from that optimism that we once had as a youth, and once this has happened we go to suddenly are on a different path and we give up on our dreams, ambitions, goals in life.
Brian Tracy says “ It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.”
It really doesn’t matter where you’re coming from. You may not be where you thought you would be in life, what does matter is that you are doing something to get yourself to where you want to be again. Personal development and self improvement is key to removing those negative mental, and negative emotional aspects that have built up within you. If you can just take away one negative aspect you’re on the right track, but if you can continually block or take away negative aspects in your life you are directing yourself back on the track you once were on. This is not an easy task and may be a long journey. “ Trust me! I am still on my journey.” As long as you have that WANT deep inside yourself to change your current situation, and you have a good reason WHY you want to change your situation, then you’re on the right track.
I am not a Personal development guru, far from it. I am like you, still on that journey, and if you’re not on that journey back to your goals, dreams, and ambitions, Join me! Lets do this together, and not say “Man I wish I was back in school!” But lets say “Man, I love where I’m at right now and it can only get better!”
