Use Goat Mentality To Get What You Want In Life

I know that you will be filled with curiosity by merely looking at the topic i came up with. If you know goat very well you will realize that there is a particular thing it does most of the time. For instance, if you are in your compound peeling the back of cassava which the goat likes eating, if the goat comes there to eat it, no matter the number of times you try to drive it away, it will still come back. You can hurl all types of objects on the goat to make it run away, it will only run and come back. The only thing that will make the goat leave that place for you is if you remove the cassava you are peeling from its sight.

What a persistent stubbornness from the goat! And that is what i want you to think about. I have seen a lot of people whose major reason they are still located at the lowest rung of the ladder in life is because they lack persistence. And quite tragically most of them are not even aware that they are under the bondage of it. As a Human Development Practitioner, i take special interest in studying people and can easily tell where their problem is coming from. Lack of persistence ranks high in many of the cases i see.

To be a hero in life you have to be stubborn to obstacles. There are no accidental stars anywhere in the world. The English writer John Creasy's life is a study in persistence, as an aspiring young writer he suffered devastating rejections, he was rejected more than five hundred times but was able to publish more than six hundred books later. I believe strongly that no one will be significantly successful without passing the persistence test.
I can tell you without fear of contradiction that you have suffered many losses in life through one way or the other just because of your poor persistence level.

If God should come down today from heaven and collect all the money in the whole world, including properties and go back to heaven and tells everyone to start afresh, do you know that the successful ones will be successful again, while the poor ones will remain poor? The reason it will be like that is because the successful ones have mastered laid down principles which they follow to achieve an aim. God will not change the way you think. It's your duty to do that. Great and successful men do not get stuck to where they stumbled, they maintain their gaze on where they are going.

Whatever you are passing through today is not a news. Neither is it it peculiar to you. If you persist your problem will crumble. But if you run away, you will never grow and you will still encounter such a problem again, so how long will you continue to quit? What will make you great in life is the number of obstacles you defeated on your way to achieving your dream. That is why you need to cultivate the culture of persistence today because you will encounter many obstacles on the way but once you have the mindset of defeating obstacles you will be having fun as you go along. Then, People will be seeing obstacles in your dreams and ideas but you will be seeing stepping stones and disguised opportunities. Go! and defeat that obstacle

 

Right ok I'll be honest and say I was lost after the first paragraph.

So you're saying do what Goats do to get along in life?

So stand on a mountain side, chewing grass and peeing all day is what I should be doing?

Do I get one of them cool little bells to wear around my neck?

I don't like to be a "follower", so I'm not sure if the Goat thing is for me.

Plus I'd have some mad farmer trying to feel my teets to get some Milk. Not sure I'm down with that idea either.

Hmmmm. This post kind of leaves me reply-less, which doesn't happen often. Congratulations.

 

Yeah persistence is the key and a little bit of luck

 

I like to chew on stuff too

 

Thanks for your post Motonyvated, I believe you are right. Here is a qoute in relation to what you are saying,

 

Thanks for having the insight to really understand the post. Most times one need to use controversial titles to get attention. I did not suggest that one should eat grasses like goats but just to imbibe the stubborn persistence to achieve success in life.

 

Hey, wanna cyber? jk

I like what you’re saying, OP. I think "persistence' would be a better word than "stubbornness" but I do get your memo. Well said.
