Hey Miss Lady,
It’s a beautiful feeling when you set goals , plan and accomplish them. When I graduated from college I was like WOW, I did it, Mama I made it! Honestly it made me feel like I could accomplish anything. I constantly study financially successful people and when they accomplish one goal they set out on the next mission. It’s like you get addicted to the pursuit of happiness. I think that’s a good addiction as long as we remember to live in the moments. The pursuit of happiness isn’t a specific destination but the beautiful moments leading up to your destiny.
God has placed on my heart the gift and curse of seeing potential in all people. It’s a gift if people take heed to the inspirations in life. It’s a curse when they are exposed to their greatness but chose not to pursue. It becomes a bit overwhelming to want more for other people than they want for themselves. Through many trials and errors, I’ve learned people see the mountain but not everyone wants to climb it and see the mountain top. Choices are our greatest gift, because one word or action can simply change the course of our life. Author Dennis Kimbo’s book Think and Grow Rich highlights the power of our thoughts. The beauty of choices is that even when you get off track there is always a road leading back to greatness.
I get excited at the thought of someone else reaching their goals. Positivity is contagious but unfortunately so is negativity. The choice to embrace all things possible carries a lot of weight. The world is filled with opportunity but it’s disguised in the form of obstacles. When people see the word obstacle, they immediately think work. It’s true overcoming obstacles is hard work, but the pleasure you receive after that obstacle is conquered, is unexplainable. Failure is something we all no to well, but Victory is reserved for warriors.
As optimistic as I am, I understand that everyone isn’t destined to be rich or be the voice of the people. Understand, The best road for getting what you want is to assist someone one in getting what they want. Always demand more of yourself than you demand of others and your example will inspire people to want more.
