How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole?



I will write this piece from an angle of “courage, faith and hope”. Nothing in life is certain and there are things in life we want to achieve but when we see the greatness of the thing, we get scared and give up, sometimes even without trying.Fear grips us in and so our faith and hope goes down the drain.

In life we have choices to make to get to the top. For instance, to get a degree, which is an achievement, it requires a lot of hard work, determination, dedication and perseverance to get there. Looking at these qualities, it frightens many of us, because we are scared that that will not be enough to get the success we want. So, we can get scared and give up, even before starting the race.




What we need to know is that to get to achieve a degree in whatever field, you have to take it step by step. Have a vision of what you want and don't look at the load of work awaiting you tomorrow. That means, instead of looking at the load of work to do in the next 4 months, you should concentrate on the load of work right in front of you; because if not, you might lose sight of what is important. There should be a need to take it step by step and prioritising things in order to achieve the degree.

Don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has not yet come. In order for you not to lose it, deal with the situation at hand. It is scary to think of what will happen tomorrow, but that is when faith and hope comes in. Your actions are for today and your faith and hope are for tomorrow. Take it a step at a time and remember to balance, so that you don’t fall.
