MOTIVATION: Be Determined – Aiden Ambitz
For hours, I have watched an ant picking sugar grains, go to and fro it home. On returning for another grain, I blocked its path, preventing it from getting to the grains.
Frustrated, it tried climbing over the obstacle I set but realising that climbing over it was a waste of time, it came down and tried going around it. As I noticed that, I created a fence around the grains.
Feeling fulfilled, I left it to roam around the fence I created. Hours later, I returned not to find the grains anymore but my barrier was intact. What could have happened?
I looked closely, only to find a hole in the ground within the fence. The hole led to another opening outside the barrier. There, was the ant coming out with the last grain. That was when I realised the power of determination.
Once your mind is set to achieving something, no matter what obstacle you face, you'll overcome it. If trying your regular ways doesn't work, try tackling it in a different way.
Just like the ant, when I thought there was no other way for it, it created one I never expected. Same is required of humans to create or follow a different way when they have met that obstacle.
Go for days, weeks, months, if it doesn't work for you, try a different way. There is nothing you can't achieve once you set your mind to it. It is just like playing a puzzle and not seeing a way to solve it. The solution is available but you haven't just found the right way to it.
Stay focused and be determined to achieve your aim. Learn from the ant.
