There once was a man who possessed the most beautiful goose imaginable, each day it laid one beautiful golden egg.
It's Monday- the streets are radiating happy faces, No? Shopkeepers ready to open businesses for their customers, employees prepared to handle projects left on their desks last Friday—it's a good day today.
On the flip side are the weekend mongers— looking forward to Fridays. Quick and ready to blame their misery on their company, their job, or their government, except their consistent life decisions and job applications.
How do you decide what is worthwhile to do? What are you chasing?
With the passing of days, this man grew weary of a single egg a day - he wanted more from the goose.
The goose won't make it easy for you—it will run, backed up with wings and strong feet. Yet, if you manage to own one, you get an egg once a day guarranteed for life.
Think of it this way: what is your goal? What is your aim?
If you are lost and have no idea where to even find direction, you can embark on a journey to clarity and purpose by clicking on that big blue button below.
Now that you have a set vision, aim, and path, write down some of the skills you have or that you need to attain, a job you can start applying for, or a business you can start that can get you closer to that aim. For each of those options, ask yourself, is this activity going to drive me closer to my aim in life? if so, the second question would be- am i setting realistic expectations from this particular thing to take me to where i imagine i will be?
Think about the nurse who wishes to achieve location freedom—is it wise for her to venture into a career in healthcare at a hospital facility? Is it sensible for someone who aims for a $3000 weekly return to venture into a business selling Mandasi or chicken to neighbors? Both of those answers are a resounding No!
No one takes a helicopter when they want to go down the street, similarly, no one takes a bicycle when trying to reach another region in the country.
Wrong expectations always create frustrated men, uncover the veil- do the thing that will realistically and efficiently get you to where you want to go.
One day he thought to himself, "If I cut the goose open, I will find many golden eggs inside." And when he did, he found nothing inside he no longer had his golden egg a day, and his goose was dead.
Brilliant as always 👏
This is mind blowing 👏🏽
