Doubts and Dedications by Deamontai Allen

In this world, there will be doubts about yourself, friends, family, and even people on the media. 

But with dedication, you can make a change in yourself to improve. 

Where I am from, there are a lot of dreamers who want to reach the top, and they grind and grind, trying to perfect the craft. 

Those dreamers put their dreams on an anvil, and they hammer, hammer, hammer till they get closer to the point they want to reach. 

During the process of molding, those dreamers soon lose dedication and start to lose sight of the goals they want to achieve. I am here to tell you that dedication is what will be our uprising.  

You need to grind. You need to hammer. You need to persevere. 

You probably heard these lines so many times and are bored and bored and bored again of just hearing things that you feel like you might not achieve.  

But those many speakers, they all told you the truth of what you were blind to: the point of the sword. 

They were trying to hone you. Instead, you just dulled it, and lost all motivation to prove it, but when you listen, the blade keeps on getting sharper and sharper, and then you will be able to slice through all obstacles. 

You see, that’s the difference between dreamers and achievers. We dream of achieving when we should achieve small goals towards the big one. 

All that doubt is nothing but a brick wall on your path, but what you must understand is that not all of those big people you see on the media achieve their status easily. Some go through the blade making process, like us. 

You see, we keep making excuses. If only I had… I don’t hear anyone saying that I am going to and I will. It’s always those that I hear over and over and over again, but never have I heard someone say I will. Confidence towards a huge goal is like trying to cross an ocean. 

But you must build a boat to cross a simple river, and you keep asking yourself again and again and again… how I am going to build a boat like that? 

But think how people discovered crossing the ocean. To begin with, they took the risk and built multiple models and went through many obstacles, and yet we struggle with just walking across the bridge that was built. We just go to take the risk to cross the bridge and begin the journey. 

The risks cause doubts, which is like the paralysis poison of your mind that makes you sickly and immobilizes your flow causing to the dreamer’s rhythm of how they want to achieve their goals to stop. 

But when we get poisoned, there is only dedication to get the antidote and or just lay there and be paralyzed and sickly of your dreams causing the poison to spread more and more and more till you can’t move any more. 

The world is like a battlefield, sometimes you may feel like a pawn on your own battlefield and just there to be the sacrifice for others success. But you can become a king and not throw away others for your own success and motivation. 

Having dreams and goals is like a journey. While traveling through rough terrain and obstacles, sometimes you will meet a companion, associate, friend, or even someone you love along the way. Those people you meet along the way can make your journey more fun and exciting and can help you so much along the way.  

But there are times where you can meet a snake in disguise, lurking and waiting for a time to attack you at your weakest point and leave you vulnerable to all danger from all the damage that was suffered by the betrayal of a companion or someone you even love. 

Causing a huge uproar in the mind makes trust harder and love farther from your mind, yet people avoid the pain sometimes. People usually use multiple ways to escape like the hobbies they enjoy or negative activities to push them farther from where they were in their journey and life completely. 

Others will just keep moving and just keep the pain away. Some just can’t handle the stress of the journey. Some just simply end the journey, saddening others to see what they can accomplish at the end of the journey. 

Ending the journey early is unfair for the people who were your companion or even loved you, who wanted to help you along the journey, but the chance was left on hold and always hung there, in denial, wondering what it can do to help those who stopped the journey early. 

All that is being said is that you must enjoy the journey, even if it causes pain to you or even damages you along the way it will be a different story at the end when you have the sense of completion from all the goals and task you did like finishing the last chapter of a book. 

This is when it comes down to the last thing that people fail to understand: not all journeys will end in a happy way and sometimes journeys shift in ways where it can make the goal you had unachievable.  

Even if the first goal you made was nearly impossible to reach, always reaching for another one is like switching from a defective item that can no longer be in use to help you through your journey, you always have to find a new goal to go for. 

All journeys vary in the person’s imagination, but always put it first to where you are not having fun along the way the journey will last awhile. Maybe it is short or just something to add motivation to your life, all I have to say is never be a liability to yourself and others and always make sure to help yourself most of the time. Because in the end, you gave too much to give back to yourself. But always remember the first step to reach a goal in life is… 

Dedication
