Yesterday going home was pretty interesting not so eventful but it was remarkable got me thinking. Well I left the office with a friend and we rushed to catch a bus. From a distance of like 200m I spotted a bus that many desire to board and that was the beginning of a 1km jog in the bid to get on to that particular bus. Every time we got close to the bus it would keep moving. One thing that amazed me was we kept going for that particular bus and yet we had the option of waiting at the stage for another bus. Now putting this in real life perspective, I really wish we could do so much for our dreams and our goals.
We often decide not to go for our dreams or achieve our goals because we do not make any effort to believe in them and follow them through. We get easily distracted by what goes on around us that we forget to strive and go for it. We forget what we want to achieve or the fruits (usually sweet) that await you and we choose to shift goalposts and go for something less straining or easier. There were many buses but with mediocre services but we choose to go for that particular one that has courteous crew on board. It meant a lot at the end of it all. The journey was smooth, a courteous conductor, enough seat and leg room space in the bus the little things that made that jog worthwhile. These are some of the things, the comfort that we will enjoy if we keep being persistent at what we want to go for. If you want that car, further that education, want that house keep going for it like my friend likes to put it and I can say albeit painstakingly that persistence does beat resistance.
Come to think of it maybe just maybe its true. Am sure you all know of a hawker who made you buy something just so you get rid of him thats after trying to get him off you back since forever. Same applies to that guy you don't like but he managed to make you go out on a date with. Don't give up PERSIST.
