Beat It, Beat it.

🎶 🎶 🎶
They told him, "Don't you ever come around here.
Don't wanna see your face.
You better disappear."
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it [4x]

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus 2x]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it 🎶

This song by Michael Jackson is what came to my head tonight as I walk home after a Steemit meet-up.

I know that in life's journey to there,(upper place, Steemit whale 🐳 goal) the world will always give you reasons and oftentimes legitimate ones to quit, to beat it.
especially when you feel you do enough,
When you feel you do better and deserves better, only to receive little for so much efforts.
you ask what other people are doing, how are they doing it? Well just beat it, don't stop, just beat It.

The question is

Will you?

A number of times we will, determination, zeal, zest, passion, enthusiasm, desire, drive etc will dwindle or fail and the only motivation we'll ever have is Our next decision. Yes, the very next decision, where it all matters.

Will you beat it?

Because sometimes, it's easy for us to jump at our dreams with hopes
they'll just happen or yield to the temptation of believing that the paths of least resistance ever lead anywhere safe when in actual sense, they don't.

And then we are left to the obvious reality....

....that life is a game and winners sometimes fail in order to win.

....that life is a fight and champions always face their fears while cowards live or die at the mercy of those fears.

....that life is the reason we never have enough, so as to make masterpieces out of our creative ability, installing some as kings and others as gods.

Knowing this...

Will you give in to the difficulty and give up?

Will you blame yourself for being unable to think like the mortals do?

Will you forfeit your chance at greatness because you saw the pictures while others were stuck in the frame?

If you will, then this post is likely not for you, please kindly wait for the next one, but do well to upvote.

But if you won't, I tell you something, you are the next phenomenal to be celebrated and the exact reason for this post.

Sometime ago I thought of doing a seminar on Addictions, I traveled to Lagos State, another state 15-18hrs journey from Akwa ibom Nigeria by bus.
I went to see a doctor of psychology and of philosophy on their take on the mind of an addict, they gave me so much information, but I couldn't present them because of finance, now with Steemit, I have been able to do so Many things I never thought I could, with health services and the rest.
just cos I decided to beat it.
what about you?
