Fit For It

To be fit is to be capable of meeting adequate standards for a purpose. It also means to satisfy a condition or restriction or to be the right size or shape of a thing.

Sometimes, some of us jump into certain activities, task..., because certain persons wanted us to do it or become it, without considering if we are fit enough for such. Little wonder why a number of us perform below expectation because as far as some of us are concerned, we are just trying to impress as we are not fit for what we are compelled to do, yet the person (s) we are trying to impress does not even give a hoot about us, nor do they even imagine we ever existed. No one says we should not do what we are expected to do especially when compelled to do so, but this is where wisdom is profitable to direct. Common sense they say is not common. There are ways to handle certain situations especially the ones you do not have major say over, but first, there are certain questions one must ask his or herself such as: This task I am about to embark on, is there a possibility of doing it in a later time or date without it affecting the specified time limit I am expected to do it, and still achieve a better result? What if I weighed the advantages and disadvantages of not doing a particular thing I am not fit for at a particular time, and the disadvanges are minimal, can I risk not doing it, even if others think otherwise of me? What if I did it anyways as specified, and I did not get the desired results as targeted, would I have met the said requirement or succeeded in meeting the specified goal or objective? Would it be worthwhile if I took some rest, and come back refreshed full of life to face the task? What if I didn't do it at all, would it make me less than I am? What if I walk away from it, would it make life not go on for me anymore?

The above questions and lots more are what I should ask myself before making certain decisions on whether to do certain things or not. You are not in a competition with anyone even though there are competitions everywhere, for true competition is when you resolve within yourself to be the best at what you do. And to be the best, you have to be fit!

Never rush into anything that you are not certain about its outcome or you know you are not fit for due to undue pressure compelling you to do so. On the long run, you may wish you never did. Yes it is good to take some risk but you have to be selective about the kind of risk you take. Certain persons may not understand why you took such decisions, but some day, they would come to see reasons why you did what you did. Just a quick one! Before you take that bold step or whatever it is that you intend to embark on, be sure you are fit for it. #Capacity #Standard #Right size #Right shape #Satisfy a condition #Satisfy certain questions #Fit for it.
