I threw the towels in, I give up, am tired and exhausted I told myself. Am tired of pushing and getting no results. Tired of fanning an inferno and it doesn't surge

Would I rather kick the bucket, because life kicked shit right my way? 
Changes and situations I never planned? 

I was lost in my own imaginations, obviously not concerned about whatever was going on around me. 

I had planned my life 10 years ahead. And all was in place till I met an agent of change. 
I began to see my plans as obsolete and would never get me to where I wanted to go. 

But I was too scared to change. I was so bigot about accepting my defeat thay it dragged me to mediocrity. 

But here I was, 2 years into my plans, without results, and already frustrated. 

Then, wisdom beckoned onto me and said... We plan for the future with understanding of the past.

Consistency is not doing same thing over and over again. Consistency is doing the one thing that gets you the results you desire. And by that, I don't mean the end point. 

Whatever you want from life, it's under the tag 'success'
And what is success?  Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal, thanks to Earl nightingale. 

Success is not the finality of our actions.. Success is the little successes of waking up in the morning, laying you bed, getting early to your work, mastering yoir craft, a page at a time. 

Success is the journey to stardom. But obviously in our fast-world, we want to get everything within limited time. 

We want fast-relationships: get dream relationships without work. You think once cupid strikes your eith his arrow, your love is made?  Bruh even cupid is building his love. 
We want fast-food.... Food that majority are tagged unhealthy. 

We want fast result. But the joy of success is the productivity of the routine. 
Success build is borne of knowledge and persistence.

Remember "When life gives you lemon, do yourself enough good and make enought lemonade out of it"
