Lynn Ngugi’s powerful message to those struggling to make it in life
Award-winning media personality Lynn Ngugi penned a powerful message to her fellow youth- striving to achieve success, using herself as the perfect example.
The YouTuber used one of her TBT photos to drive her well-crafted message home – encouraging those who want to make it in life.
“This is me many years back 🙏 I really don’t know how to tell you it gets better without making it sound like some sort of prosperity gospel, but things really do get better.
“One of the things I have come to realize in this life is that no one owes you anything and success does indeed leave patterns,” Lynn said in part.
According to the journalist, many people yearn for success within the shortest period possible so that they can prove their critics wrong.
“The truth is, we want to get there faster, and easier, and prove to everyone who said we would amount to nothing that they were absolutely wrong,”
She pointed out that success requires, dedication, discipline, and consistency.
“But, that’s not how life works. Life is about motion. It’s about always putting one foot in front of the other. It’s about continuously improving on your current skills and learning new skills. It’s about consistency, discipline, rest, and knowing you are eventually going to mess up someday,” Lynn noted.
“You have to be ok looking stupid, because aren’t we all at some point? But, what’s the obsession with you wanting the world to see you in your perfect state?”.
Ms Ngugi advised that people should not shy away from criticism if they want to grow.
