I cannot stress to you how important it is for you to research what it is that you want to achieve, then make a plan on how to achieve it.
Step one: Put the steps of your plan on individual sheets of paper.
Step two: Pull out one of those sheets, then start to work on that one process.
Step three: You are already further into the process than you ever thought you would be.
Step four: Once you are done with one sheet pull out the next sheet of paper, then work on it.
Before you know it, you will start finishing sheets faster because you will start to see progress. You may be able to knock out more than one sheet and you will start to see your momentum build as things start coming together. The key is that you aren’t looking at it in is entirety, becoming overwhelmed or looking at it as impossible. You are moving step by step at your own pace– but you are moving.
It’s not about where you are from or what you were born into– it’s about your desire and passion to define who you truly are and what you want to achieve. We ask children what they want to be when they grow up. We know they may change their minds but it’s about getting their thought process started. It’s about building their confidence and shaping their minds so that they believe that they can achieve anything they want. No one tells them that they can’t be who they want to be, therefore when they answer, they are confident knowing that is what they WILL achieve. It is only as we grow up that we start to question our capabilities, we start looking around at what others are doing and saying. We get discouraged when we start to hit road blocks and obstacles. We start the negative self talk telling ourselves that we cannot achieve our dreams. Guess what happens next– We don’t end up achieving our dreams.
No matter what you are born into or where you are from– you were that little kid with dreams and aspirations. You let your environment, life choices and failures derail you from your success. You have to get yourself back on track— not as a passenger but as the CONDUCTOR of your life!!! As always, the choice is yours.
