Virus is sent by life to distract us off the course of our lives and make us live an ordinary life. To separate those who are serious from those who are not. To make big things quite difficult and very strategic such that few people are found at the top while the many at the bottom. Looking everywhere, I see resources drainers and dream suckers. Viruses are everywhere. They derails plans and kills dreams.
Computer and phone viruses take unnecessary memory spaces, replicates themselves, steals vital information and slows down your devices till it crashes every time. What COVID-19 virus did to our plans that year is what the proverbial virus do to people's dreams, goals, ambition and plans today.
Your mobile phone maybe a virus; Most people would have been successful if they give up their mobile phone for a while. Their mobile phone is acting as a barrier to their goals. Your mobile phone can be your advantage or your disadvantage, depending on how you use it. Mobile phone kills dream. People's eyes and ears especially teenagers are in the wrong use of the internet.
Your belief about possiblity can be a virus. The most deadly virus to a man's dream is a wrong belief about his own possibility. We all, myself included still hold some wrong beliefs about what is possible that is holding us back from achieving our goals quickly and massively. A wrong belief can make a man drink poison when he is sick. Our belief is what drive our whole life to this point.
Disinformation or misinformation is a virus we must keep our ears and eyes away from. Fake and tragic news keep us depressed, faithless and negative. Information at the widest or extreme opposite flies through the internet everyday. Most people change their minds and views everyday because of information overload. As Mark Manson wrote and I rephrase; "we have abundance of mind capturing information that we worry so much about which to give our limited attention."
Peer pressure maybe your virus. Anyone you care so much about and exert enormous effect on your life is your peer. Your peers do not need to tell you anything to influence your life, just be around them, you level up to them. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Love your family but choose your peers carefully. Never make your family your peers, unless they are great mentors. Be a mentor to them instead.
Fear is a Virus that attacks you and squeeze out courage out of your mind; The most boring thing in this life is fear because of the stagnancy it brings to people. When you are at the edge of your biggest opportunity, the best thing is to jump but fear hold you back for long, over-analyzing the situation, postponing and literarily stagnant.
