Wooing Success

There are times in life when you get tired of trying, probably you have done a lot but nothing to show for it, and like a library you have different volumes of failure stacked up in the shelves of your life. You are scared to continue, afraid you may add another volume to the already stocked shelve.

Like a young man, you keep going after success, and in her skimpy gown she keeps running away from you. You have tried a lot of advances, even done things you weren’t sure of just to woo her into your life, but somehow she doesn’t want you. She probably feels you don’t have enough of what she needs to keep up a healthy relationship with you.

Sometimes she visits you, and presents you with a lot of goodies, you think she has finally accepted, then you wake the next morning and she is no longer there. You blame yourself for saying this and doing that, you tell yourself you shouldn’t have done that when you did, you search for mistakes that made her go, but you see nothing.

You are scared of facing your friends, you’ve already told them you have made it, your family and friends are already waiting to reap from your new found love; they expect a new car, a new house, and probably a family not minding how young you are to handle one. You are a graduate they say, so they don’t expect a salary that caters only for your transport and leaves you half broke even before the second week of the next month. They expect a lot from you because they feel you are finally dating success, at least your certificate says you had a First Class, that’s one of the white bras of success, so she must be around.

You are scared of what they would say if they realise success had left you. And somehow you haven’t realised why success left. She was tired of your misplacement of priorities, she couldn’t understand why you actually wanted her, because you wanted to impress your friends, or because you wanted to prove to those that scorned you that you have finally made it.

Success rarely wants your relationship on those basis, she wants you to want her because that’s what you actually wanted and not because you want to impress or satisfy someone.

She wants you to head the decision and of course she loves you, but as feminine as she is, she wants to be pampered; she wants you to feel the need of having her, so she prove very hard to get. If you quit along the line, you would never get her, but if you continue, one day she would be in your arms.

You just have to keep trying, because sometimes we do a lot, but not enough. So, your doing a lot of things doesn’t mean you have done enough things to get success. Enough and not a lot should be your focus, because there a people that don’t even do a lot, they just know the right things, and doing enough of them gets them success.
