UNPLUG: reinventing yourself for maximum productivity.

Motivitals Quotes

As we go through life every day, we are being exposed to different circumstances both good and bad. There are times a bulk of our experiences do contradict and contravene our life expectations. We are often faced with mountains that could look insurmountable, situations that are too bitter to our taste. 
Meanwhile, inbuilt in us is the survival instincts which are being activated in response to those circumstances.
This is when we begin to stagger in order to regain our stand instead of falling when the stormy wind of tribulations blow against us. We tend to struggle to bring our stock of experiences, knowledge and all energies inherent in us to bear in order to overcome the challenge at hand.

True, the determined soul is never ready to give up come what may. To this end, we often find ourselves wrestling with one challenge or the other at a time. In the process, we expend energies either spiritual, physical, mental and otherwise.
 At this state, we become vulnerable in so many ways. If enough effort is not being made to replenish our depleted energy levels as soon as necessary, we may become totally spent and exhausted making us even more vulnerable.

Some people have lost their mind in the process of trying to get things fixed. Some have lost the little they have gathered in the process of trying to gather more. Some have come down with self-hatred in the process of trying to address the hatred from others. 
In the process of trying to put things in place, many have lost their places. Many are still losing more while seeking that which has been lost.

Now, could it be more advisable not to make further determined effort to handle things that are getting out of hand? Not really. The only advice is, be well guided by your heart and your head in balance.

You need wisdom, and the wisdom is to unplug, go back to your drawing board and look at the setting, again and again, to see what fits and what doesn't.

Motivitals Quotes

It is not enough to make relentless efforts to succeed, you must ensure all your efforts are in the right direction. 
After taking some steps towards achieving a goal and things are not working as planned, try and find out if you are really doing the right thing and no essential part is missing out. Try to find out if there is anything you are doing that you are not supposed to do, or if there is anything you are not doing that you are supposed to do. Then, make amends when and where necessary. Of course, from the things that are not working, you can learn the things that could work.

Even if the battle is worth fighting, don't keep fighting when you know your energy is spent because you may be overpowered more easily by what you are fighting. 
There are times wisdom demands that you withdraw from the battlefield to get more and better arms and to replenish lost energies - get refreshed. 
At times, calculated retreat is not cowardice and surrendering, it is a self-defense mechanism. 
Imagine still continuing the journey all in the name of determination when your fuel gauge is already showing 'red'- empty tank. You would head for a breakdown on the way.

There are times you may just need to put the issue at hand aside so that you can get back to yourself and begin to look at things more differently.
 You can't continue to approach an issue the same way and expect a different result. If despite putting more force to chop down a tree and the tree seem not to be near falling, then you have to stop and examine your axe. It could probably be too blunt. 
At times when the pressure is getting too much, just take your eyes of that thing that seems to be the bone of contention, take a cool and deep breath and relax so that you can think well. It possible you are in the right direction but not in the right season or vise versa. 
If it doesn't fit at that moment, don't try to force it because that would be an effort in futility. 
Be sensitive enough to unplug from all wrong sockets and plug into the right ones. This is what it means to work hard and work smart in the pursuit of success. 

Remain blessed!
