What would you do?

Before going further, I had promised @bradleyarrow that I will be running an on-chain advert for him concerning his newly launched book. I may even put it up again in my next article. Check it out on Amazon; ‘ Bullying and perseverance ’ by Bradley Sean Anderson.
There is a knowledge that comes into you and your life will never remain the same. We are talking of peace of mind, better decision making, patience, strategic investment, better leverage, good health and more bundled into it.
I can still remember my experience as a secondary school teenager. time was ticking away right in my very first while conducting my Physics practical WAEC exams. It seemed I was done for when I had less than 45 minutes with no concluded apparatus to plot the needed graph. And this was where my Physics teacher rescued me with a few words; ‘you still have time’.
Those few words sinked into me that I was able to do in 30 minutes what I wasn't able to do in the last hour and A half. In short, I just came to realize that what I needed was not actually time at that moment but a mindset shift.
Sometimes the question is, if only I could take myself five years backwards with the knowledge I currently have, then I would have been a millionaire. So the point of consideration here is; ‘you don't have time?’ or ‘you think you don't have time?’.
It will be best to digest the last words of that paragraph as we move on. Success or failure is first a mentality. Maybe you’ve fixed yourself in such a hole. dani-EL is here to share knowledge. Just sit back as we delve into what will be a positive decision making article.
You should know about Kentucky Fried chicken ? Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC, was broke till age 65, and that was when the turn around began. And at least, one can say, he lived his remaining 35 years as a millionaire before passing away.
Ok, I am not actually saying you should wait till age 65 before making a move, neither can I also conclude that you are late at age 65, you have seen one who turned the dice around and we are talking of during that mechanical age. We are living in a world with so many things to leverage on, thanks to technology.

But before getting there, let me answer that depressing question you’ve been soaking your spirit with. Of course I am talking about you thinking it's too late. Are you 65? Or more precisely, are you even half the age of 65? Or maybe let's assume you are in your late 30’s early 40’s. My advice here is; don't rush it, plan well, YOU HAVE TIME.
The solution here is not what you would do if you were taken five years backwards but rather what you are doing ahead of five years to come. As I said, success is a mentality. I have been there before and I feel the need to expose the entire truth of the matter; ‘reset the start button and hit it again’. ‘Depression ain't gonna solve any problem brother’.
I could remember getting worried as at last year. ‘Ahh Dani! I only wish you had this entire exposure and idea some five years backwards, you would have built your empire to some extent by now’. I started rushing everything and setting a target success limit that was looking unrealistic already.
The fact is, it is possible to happen even within that range no doubt but going through it with pressure will even make it more unrealistic. How old am I? This is just my early 30’s.
When I captured this mental shift, I had to look back at my life, where I am today, my age and current achievement and I must say, this is not just a statement of consolidation, I have enough time to meet up with my entire purpose here on Earth.
To conclude, let me add, many of us atimes fail to realize the challenges or problems we would have put ourselves if perhaps we were able to have access to some things at our early age. Maybe it would have ended up in a lavish lifestyle; something that would have been very opposite to my purpose. The advantage that I have now is that I have realized my purpose, so it is not a matter of running around. This is what we call, hitting the nail on the head.
Do yourself of dusting yourselves off every depression. You have enough time to build out your empire. You are not competing with anybody. Or have you yet found out anyone that has your same fingerprint?. That's the thing, face your lane. Replan and go again; knowledge is a big achievement and I can say it is something much worth leveraged that lost years.
