Step-By-Step

Inspired by Reena’s Xploration Challenge #325 &
Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Focused

**Quote from Cruel Compassion, Collaboration with the Silent One by Ink Empress

focusedwhilst searching for my sanity,
i’ve become my own worst enemy

the what ifs
the how comes
the why, why, why me
get in the way of true lucidness

put everything aside
hit the ground humbly
start with small steps
making gains slowly

understand that progress comes in tiny snippets
confidence builds block by block
assurances from all around guide us
as we leave our dark pit behind

concentrate on the right things
and you’ll go farther than you ever imagined

Targets

go for it
follow your instincts
put your pedal to the metal
full steam ahead

no one tells you as you do
that struggling is a part of the journey
it’s hard work
chasing your dreams

i hope you remember
to be playful and filled with joy
as you hit all those milestones
the markers of your success

Immortality

We are all just one long line of succession to the next life.

Every bit of who you are was in the generations before and will be in every subsequent one. That is if you choose to grant your DNA a future.

But will subsequent generations be aware of your presence? Do you want to defiantly mark your name in history?

There is the question for the ages!

Should you desire an impact on not only your downline but also be known in the public sphere, it will require a willingness to plant yourself in front of your world-wide audience. Look at the gazillions of people who didn’t and are forgotten to history. We are walking on the essences of those who didn’t want to be known but maybe, just possibly, didn’t know how to carve out a name for themselves worthy of being remembered.

Believing in yourself is the first step. When you can share your unique self, hopefully, you will begin to leave a memorable impact in the minds of those you wish to capture. It’s not a guarantee. But doing so and having Lady Luck throw some opportune moments your way, should gain valuable attention and momentum for you.

So what makes your life grand and memorable? Surely you’ll be remembered by your close friends and family as being something worthy of keeping in their memories. Though what do you think you would need to do now, in this your one life, to hold the attention of the entire current population and future generations? Those who garner significance in history always have something rather spectacular and unique to contribute. I’d like to call it their concentrated humanity which exploded beyond the inner circles of their lives. Either they provided something of value, or they were notoriously bad.

Their presence on this earth changed the course of history, made someone famous or stood out as something so incredible as to warrant never being forgotten – good or bad. Their genuine, authentic selves believed in themselves and more importantly, what they brought to the table of life. They went about the task of pursuing their goals/dreams, without hesitation, going down whatever avenue they needed to make their presence known.

It takes dedication, perseverance, desire, support in all the right places, persistent and consistent effort, education, luck, chutzpah, and so much more! But most of all it takes your head in the game and knowing what you want.

Start there, and let’s see if you can become immortal.
