It’s Time to Connect The Dots

The pattern you need and motivation you want

By Sahil WassanPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

To all the struggling writers, content creators, businessmen, servicemen, and the whole world, it is time for you to realize the hard work and long hours you have been putting into making a breakthrough in your life. You realize stuff when you suffer and the results show you why you had to suffer. Today, it’s going to be different. A combination of my experience, a lot of motivation to keep you going, and all the other good things that are waiting for you out there.

You've Come This Far

You started from your very first day with 0 followers and zero experience in your field. Just see where you’re now. You have taken those baby steps and they will prove fruitful to you when the time comes. Start connecting the dots to realize the potential you have in you and realize how far you’ve come. The dots are all connected if you wish to connect them in the right way. Observing the pattern is not malarkey especially when you see people doing it and bringing a change in themselves. Working hard is always a choice. Coming this far is always a choice. You started your journey and made it come this far. But these little realizations are what anyone needs to keep going on & on & on. Let me give you an example of what connecting the dots mean.

This Means That. That Means This.

A 5th grader I, not knowing how the world works and happy in my little world. I got into a deal with my friend that we’ll be selling some magic erasers in school that we bought for 20 rupees and sold for Re 25/-. I took the liberty of bringing in customers and when I think about it now, I get chills just thinking about it because we used to market our product, meet students in the recess and, made them buy those erasers just by advertising differently!

And now for the showdown, I somehow fell in love with marketing and advertising again some months ago and all this happened when I didn’t have a hint of this memory. One day, I sat down and jogged my memory and my mind came across this amusing memory which turned out to be one of the most insightful realizations I’ve had lately.

Everything is connected! From selling an eraser to writing blogs about it, did the 5th grader I know that I’d be writing about this someday? No! I don’t know if I correctly connected the dots yet but if it’s related, it’s going to prove itself someday. All you need is to keep being “YOU”. You are doing great in what you’ve chosen. This may not mean something today, but it will mean something someday. All you need are these realizations and remind yourself that this is going well and will bring a lot better than good. I started with 0 followers, now I’m at 42. Still a novice but slowly realizing how the world works.

The dots keep connecting and make a circle. That circle is LIFE! (Picture by the author)

So much is waiting for you out there that you can’t even think about it. Distractions may come and go but remember, every little distraction will mean someday to you when the time comes.

Dots and instances are like pieces of a life puzzle. You keep solving it all through life and each time you put one piece correctly, you get closer to finding the meaning of life. It isn’t easy but it isn’t impossible!

And now it’s time to give this blog an end with some lines I wrote for everyone yesterday.

You’re making mistakes,

And that’s all it takes.

You’re getting stronger,

Don’t let the mistakes bother.

Keep giving your best shots,

All you need are the dots.

You started from the sand,

It’s time to take the stand.
