Stay focussed

The best way to move ahead is to stay focussed on the task at hand and continue to be diligent.

That is what I tell myself each time I am tempted to throw in the towel on working towards completing the academic requirements for the diploma program. It seem like this is the best thing to do when the going gets rough but too many times I fell for that crap… not only is it a procrastinator impersonator that robs me of the progress that I desire to accomplish, it increases the fear of the not ever completing the courses that I need and taunt me about becoming a loser or being no brainer.

I am sick and tired of letting myself fall for this lie and blaming it for not being further along in my academic career and professional aptitude.

Well I have good news for it; no more am I letting the nervousness distract me from staying focussed and discipline.

I remain in tune with God and listen to and follow his guidance so that I do not get carried away from his plan. I need his wisdom more than the academic knowledge; without the discernment I will just spin my wheels and run around in circles. The end result of which is burn out, frustration and despair and God knows that I had enough of this result.

When I need a break I recognize that my mind and body request and comply; that is the only way to avoid burning the candle at both ends. So next time I feel overwhelmed I give myself permission to take a timeout instead of fussing myself to the point of over exhaustion. Experience has taught me all too well the consequences of extremes…

So I aim on keeping things balance.
