Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 34
Title: Reach
For Your Best, Why Settle For Less?
In the
pyramid of wealth drawn over centuries past, the majority of the people (about
80%) are at the base, another 18% is at the Centre while only a paltry 2% is at the top. It is clear from that diagram that lots of people settle for the average or even less than the average which
is also referred to as mediocrity. The story is told of a lady who "hopped
from city to city, tiny apartment to tiny apartment, and dated a lot of people
during it all; working in bars and in coffee shops; sold greetings cards and
clothing that she couldn’t afford to buy for herself; dated men who gave little
thought of making her their bride, thus selling herself short over and over
again and settling for what she didn’t want, all because somewhere along the
way, she was told, sold and made to believe that she just couldn’t have what
she really wanted. She was told that what she
wanted was for someone else, someone better and more deserving than herself.
And she swallowed that poison hook line and sinker and it ruined a better part
of her life. When anyone accepts their present circumstance or situation as
final and make no efforts to improve on it, that is called "settling"
and it is a very dangerous poison because
once the initial disappointment sets in, we realize that not only do we not
have what we want, we also have to maintain something we don’t genuinely care
about. It’s a progressive poison that only gets worse the more we settle. Once
you’ve settled for one thing, settling becomes easier and easier, and
eventually becomes normal. If you have settled down to a humdrum life, here's a
wake up call. Of the over 25 million sperm cells that were released by your
father when he met with your mother, only ONE (the fastest, the most
intelligent, the most powerful) made it to the egg to fertilize it and thus
give vent to you; this means that you are not a weakling in any way, you were
formed by strong components and that strength is in you. Your genetic code,
your DNA bears testimony to this fact, if therefore you are making yourself a
weakling, it's all your fault. Today, take responsibility for your life, kick
yourself in the butt, and tell yourself that the era of settling for mediocrity
is over for good. Take a cue from the Bill Gates of this World, the Dangotes
and go out there and make the best out of yourself. The top is practically empty,
stop running around with poverty at the bottom, it is dangerously infectious.
If fear has kept you bound - the fear of failure, or the fear of success, the
fear of what they will say, the fear of not wanting to be heard or seen, you
need to break that chain and look at fear in the face and call off its bluff.
Nobody and nothing can hold you hostage without your permission and
cooperation, refuse to allow fear rule your life, be very afraid but learn to
exhibit bravery in your fear, that is what conquers the world. Don't give up on
yourself, the best of you is yet to be seen. You are the captain of your own
ship. You make your own rules about your life. You deserve good things. Go for
the top, you don’t need to settle for less.
