Too Late To Learn

bhillay

A lot of times when someone is headed down the wrong path, there is nothing you can tell that person to change them. They have to learn the hard way. That person has to gain the knowledge of wisdom they need to change by going through difficult or challenging circumstances, often involving mistakes, failures, or obstacles.

Learning the hard way can be a difficult and painful process, but it can also be incredibly valuable and can lead to personal growth and development.

We all make mistakes and have regrets, but sometimes we don’t learn from them until it’s too late. Ignoring warning signs or help from others can lead to costly consequences down the road. That could be the loss of your freedom, death, bad health, financial problems, relationship problems,anything.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to learn the lessons you need to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Listen to those who genuinely care about you, listen to God, and trust your gut.

Jobs are temporary, work is permanent

bhillay

“Your job is what they pay you to do; your work is what you were born to do.” – Dr. Myles Munroe

As a former NFL player, I know that jobs are temporary. It’s a fun profession, but you soon learn that nothing is promised. Whenever you have a job, you are at the mercy of someone else and can get fired whenever. Your job might pay the bills, but your work is what fulfills you. You can never be fired from your work.

Jobs are needed at times to make money or even bring happiness, but I believe we have more to give than just that. We have God given gifts and other passions that we should follow. Pursue your work with passion and purpose, and you’ll find true fulfillment. Remember that your work is permanent.

Proper adjustments

bhillay

Life is about making the small adjustments that might go unnoticed. It’s the daily challenge of getting a little bit better at something. Everyone has different dreams and aspirations in life, so everyone will have to make different adjustments throughout life.

Someone’s life could look the same as usual on the outside looking in, but maybe that person you are observing has made adjustments mentally, or spiritually. A lot of adjustments that we make in life take time to show.

In sports, you watch film after every practice and game, then you make the proper adjustments and go do it again with the intentions of performing better than the last time. That’s the same approach I take with everything that I do.

If my day doesn’t go as planned, I try to think of what I can change for the next day to have a more productive day. Same for anything else in my life.

It’s key to continue to make adjustments in your life. It shows you that you can always improve, and whatever situation you are in at the moment can change for the better. You never have to accept something you are not happy with. You just have to make the proper adjustments to change.

Run your race

bhillay

Life is like running track. You might have the same goals and objectives as your competitors, but you have to run your own race.

A lot of times we like to compare ourselves to the competition, or to our peers. In track, you’re taught to never look at your opponents while racing. Something as small as a head turn can slow you down and even cost you the race. In life, it can be counterproductive to worry too much about what other are doing or where they are in life. It’s best to focus on yourself because no one can run your race but you, and everyone is focused on their own race.

There are also times in races when one individual looks as if they are ahead of others, but as the race progresses, you realize that they are actually behind the competition. Everyone runs the same distance in track, but they are all staggered on the track depending on what lane they are in. Same goes for life. The only difference is in life, you’re your only competition. There’s no need to worry how far head or behind someone is because they might have a different finish line than you.

Just like track, you decide in life how well you do. It’s the practice and work that you put in, and the life choices that you make that matters most. We can all win though, so run your race, and finish.

What if…?

bhillay

No room for “what if”s in life. Make sure you you follow through with all ideas. Make sure you pursue what makes you happy. Give all you got in whatever you do and leave the rest to God. When it’s all said and done, you won’t have to ask “what if?”.

All the choices that we make have consequences. Make sure you make the decisions in life in order to not ask “what if” in regret.

I ask myself “what if” at times though. I ask “what if I would have quit too early, would if I would have gave up too soon?”. That’s a “what if” that I am fine with never knowing.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear

bhillay

When you’re really serious about pursuing and learning something in life, the answers will reveal themselves. You will meet the people you need to meet to get to your destination. You will learn things you need to learn in order to reach your destination.

But how do you know when you’re really “ready” for something? I think your actions will reflect that you’re ready. A lot of people say what they desire or what they are going to do, but their actions don’t reflect that. That’s why the teacher hasn’t appeared to them yet.

You have to be careful though, because we often want the wrong things in life, and the teacher that appears is really the devil. God will instruct you and teach you the right way. – Isaiah 28:26

Life is like solving a Rubik’s Cube

bhillay

I used to think that I would never be able to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I’ve tried at random times throughout my life and could never figure it out. Then I watched a simple 10 minute video on YouTube and can now solve a Rubik’s Cube in three minutes or less. That might be slow for others, but that’s fast for me!

There might be times in life when you feel like you can’t solve whatever problem or challenge that you are faced with. The answer is out there, you just have to find it. There’s even a good chance that the answer is on YouTube LOL.

What I liked about the guy on YouTube who taught me how to solve a Rubik’s Cube is that there are steps you can follow that guarantees you’ll solve the cube. There are also solutions for every problem you’ll be faced with when solving the cube. I think life is the same way.

There are actions we can take that can put us on the path to success. There are also other actions we can take when we are faced with a problem. You have to believe that you can succeed, and you have to be willing to do what it takes to discover the keys to success. You have to have a plan to follow in order to succeed. If not, you’ll be like me before I learned how to solve the Rubik’s Cube; you’ll just be making random moves with no strategy, hoping to solve the puzzle.

It’s possible to solve a Rubik’s Cube and it’s possible to overcome whatever obstacle you encounter in life. Seek the answers to be able to solve all the twist and turns in your life. It’s possible.

Good things are supposed to happen

bhillay

At times you might catch yourself anticipating bad things to happen to you in your life. You might brace yourself for bad news like not getting the job you interviewed for, deaths, breakups, bad doctor results, things not working out in your favor, anything.

Good things are supposed to happen to all of us. Expect the best outcome out of all situations, even in a time of crisis. I have noticed that when I expect good things to happen to me, my mood is better. I become an overall happier person. I always think of the best outcome in every situation. I will get that job. I will have a good game. I will achieve my goals, etc.

Control whatever you can control, and count on good things to come your way. Don’t have a pessimistic mindset. Have a realistic mindset. If bad things come your way, look and see if any of your actions played a part. If so, correct those actions for next time. If bad things out of your control come your way, accept them and just make the next right move. The bad doesn’t last forever. Good things will happen to you.

Prove them right

bhillay

A lot of times we want to prove people wrong. We worry about those who doubt us or don’t believe in us. Don’t focus your energy on them. Don’t worry about trying to change their minds about you.

Prove those who believe in you right. Listen to their words of encouragement and focus your energy on that. Prove God right. He said you can do all things through Christ.

Prove yourself right most importantly. Make sure you believe in yourself and know all that you are capable of. Give yourself positive affirmations. Be careful not to think negatively about yourself, cause you still might prove yourself right.

There’s people that believe in you. Prove them right.
