I often speak about being ahead of your life, to be moves ahead. I truly believe in that, and today is the day I share my logic to this. I often overthink every action I am about to take. I feel as if each action is in relation to one another. It’s always as if one impacts the other, and in order to get to number 10, you have 9 to do before, otherwise, you don’t make it to 10: you step out of sequence and you have to re-go back to the task. So I do what I must do: I think of every possibility that could happen next and I analyse each possibility, down the line, 10 steps forward. No matter the path of my thoughts I take, it’s constantly the same process. At first, I have gotten quiet exhausted thinking in this way, however as neat as it sounds, none of this was by choice. It just the way my mind was set to be, to question everything and to explore every better probability. Is it important to always be ahead of yourself? I think so. Just imagine that in order to get to an objective, there is a finite number of steps to complete. Therefore, all the steps in between matter as well in the equation. With this logic, I take each decision and I consider the impact it will have in the next 10 that will happen (ex. I take a new jobNew jobs brings new professional experienceNew experience give exposure for job requiring such experienceGet next job position in line New better job brings diversityDiver experience brings managerial position as offerNew manager position=New experienceetc.).

All of this to say, you can be proactive in your approach to making decisions. You must understand that every decision leads you a step closer to where you seek to be. Perhaps my explanation for this might seem confusing, however the intent remains the same: use every moment to seek the best outcome for the next ones to come. I over-complicate some matters when I present, but to me, it is all very simple and smooth in my mind. I don’t feel anxiety when I do so because I am constantly focusing on priorities other than stress and hopelessness. Regardless of what I say or believe, everyone has their own way in the end. It is easier to believe that our ways are better, however it is all the same, just different packaging. We do what we must do in order to survive, and surviving is subjective to the situation that surrounds you. Thus, my story keeps moving forward and building itself. As I picture the millions of possibilities that surround my life, I create a sequence that best describe who I am and who I would like to be. I remember a time where all of this seemed much less complicated, however back then, I have only focused on a few things. Now I find myself having to focus on thousands other priorities as well, all while maintaining a past slowly erasing itself over time. There is so much to do, and if the situation is so, you must make decisions that matter positively to you over time, because it will matter one way or another.

Focus is the word of the day.
