WHAT SEEMS TO WORK

What seems to work,
at this point,nothing was.
Tina was glancing at the books on her table,
she has read everyone of them,
but she wasn’t maximizing them enough,why?
“You don’t expect little efforts to pay off”
she lay on her bed deep in thoughts.

Efforts + Consistency + Hardwork = Results.

Another city…

Catherine sat on her bed reminiscing,
She was totally confused,why?
Nothing was working.
She was even at the edge of giving up,
She has tried to gain financial stability.
But it wasn’t as easy as she thought.
Wasn’t she putting in efforts?
Wasn’t she consistent?
Wasn’t she hardworking?
She was doing all perfectly,
what was she missing?

Efforts + Consistency + Hardwork = Results.

Another city…

Wendy stood tall staring at the basket ball court,
“I wish I could join them,
I wish I could be famous”
She thought as she stared at the basket ballers in the court

What wasn’t right?
What differentiated the three persons was;
One was putting in little to no efforts
One was hardworking,consistent and was putting in efforts but was missing something.
One was living a life based on fantasies

What truly works?
Efforts + Consistency + Hardwork + Right mindset = Results.

the mindset part hit me hard. I've been that Catherine for like 3 years straight—working my ass off, consistent, doing everything "right" but still felt stuck. turns out I was lowkey terrified of actually succeeding lol. this is really good, thanks for sharing
