Contentment and Under-achievement
Apr 28, 2022
First story
Lying in my bed at 11:41am on a Saturday morning, I thought to myself "what have you really done to impact your world?." The response my competition gave didn't sit well with me. And it's not the first time. I would say I've lost count.
I've never been one driven to compete. I find myself being content but with a terrible feeling of under-achievement. My competition is some greatness awake deep inside me. I can't place my hand on its location. But it's there. I know.
My role as a Communications Lead in an NGO & the fact that I'm a soon to be Ph.D holder only leaves me wondering why this feeling of under-achievement? And why not?
It's believed in my circle that being married & staying married is some form of achievement. Well I'm just five years down the road and it feels great. But the feeling of under-achievement.
I do travel into the future, a vast place, where my short trips to, won't allow me explore completely. A place I long to be. A place where, I become one with or more than my competition lying awake inside.
I believe achievers in World Pulse to be in that place.
This is me introducing myself.
