Don’t lose people for things
Often in our strides to get to the top, when we are passionately driven. When we are aspiring dream achievers and working hard to reach our goals we lose a lot. Sometimes we lose ourselves; we lose time but most of the time, for different reasons we lose the people around us. It can be friends who hold us back, people who don’t believe in our dreams and some we shut out because we are too focused on going up. We kill the bonds and relationships we have all in the name of chasing a dream. It’s one thing cutting toxic friends out yo life coz they are of no use to you, but when you cannot make time to be with your friends or family, yo man or yo gal, because you are too busy on the hustle, ko pele o lo khawatega cause then you won’t have no one to share your achievements with except fake friends who are genuine foes.
You will be so focused on starting that business or moving around the country chasing fans and fame. You may have a burning desire to live the life you’ve always dreamed of. To have that car, that house, a sneaker collection or maybe a business and that it is all that means something to you or maybe you want a dream family. You invest all your time in taking a shot at all those things but invest none in personal relations. You want a family one day that you will share your life with but you are not investing in that.
Yes we are young and ambitious and we have the ability to dream big, but the future is tomorrow away. We must not have that mentality of “when I’m older” because as you invest in your future as a designer, you need to invest in your future as somebody’s something. Life moves as fast as we are living.
You will end up made and achieved but you will also be alone. Or maybe you will be surrounded by people who do not mean much to you because those who do you’ve long lost. You will have a fulfilled but empty life, because at the end what doesn’t kill you and your dream will kill someone else. A person will tire of being there for you; someone will give up because their efforts are not acknowledged. We tend to be selfish sometimes when we are in pursuit of greater things. You might be too determined to not see the person next to you and what you mean to them or how much they are there for you. You might not see the love in their heart or even the pain in their eyes because you are not there; you are not in that space.
It is okay to dream but do not live in a dream or get lost trying to find it. Because you might find it but loose all those you would never dream loosing.
