So yesterday I took the bold step of starting my ECA process after years of planning and not executing. The major task for me was raising the money required to initiate the process.
Fundamentally I have some little money now, thanks to the bull run and some investment to finance my immigration process but the herculean task was starting.
For those who have ever ventured traveling, especially from this part of the world, you guys can attest to the huge financial commitment required. Oftentimes this is a deterrent for most people.
I took the bold step of getting my passport two years ago and nothing concrete has been done ever since until yesterday.
I started by creating a WES account and filling in my credentials. Then I found a situation payment service that would allow me to pay for my ECA and I have been stashing a couple of dollars. Hopefully, by next week, I should have the complete amount I need.
Now the whole point of this story is to show how easy things are when you take actionable steps towards your dreams and goals. For many of us, we love to live in our heads, never getting past the planning stage.
It often takes a lot of courage to take the first step out of the comfort of your mind into the uncertain planes of the world. It is the biggest threat to our dreams and goals because in those moments of uncertainty we can lose it all.
So many would rather nurse their dreams. They would rather build a perfect world in their mind than try. There is no reason to fear failure when you don't try, and when people ask why you never did, you can come up with the perfect excuse.
I am all about taking actionable steps towards your goal. I believe if you want something then you have to try getting it. Also, I have discovered that things aren't so difficult when you try--not think but doing things.
When you breakdown a problem into smaller compartments and tackle each part meticulously you tend to achieve greater results than someone who tries to do the same thing but on a broader scale.
So try this out today. Think about the biggest task you want to complete and start from the most basic thing and move upward from there. It isn't that difficult but I would rather you don't take my word and prove this theory for yourself. Try.
I hope you found this useful. Cheers!
I took this advice about a month ago and it's starting to pay off.
I'm not where I want to be but getting there doesn't seem so hard anymore
oshey baby! super proud of you. look at how things are turning out for you. this is just the beginning my baby. many more good things to come
Thank you🤩🤩🤩
Getting pass a planning stage can sometimes be difficult. But if you spring into actions no matter how small, you move more closer to achieving your goals.
yes, dear. this is one of the important lessons I have had to learn in life. it is surprising how things work out for those who are consistent. it is one of the reasons I can earn something on hive
We're here for the good news bro.
Sometimes, when we lag to move forward, it is not always not being able to not take the steps.
Uncertainty is a huge force that comes to play when we decide to do anything.... And overcoming that, is a huge blessing
If we all knew the path of life, of what essence is the journey? We cannot control things that are out of our realm but determination and consistency should count for something. It has in my case. Hopefully, you have something positive to tell soon.
