You are the only one who truly knows what you want in life

What if? That’s a saying that most people who don’t go after their dreams or passion ask themselves daily. Becoming a pioneer is not easy yet rewarding; many great things were built by man and women who took chances to follow their dreams. One thing that most people will never tell you is their exact passion, goals , or dreams because they are afraid of what others may think or say. Take the story of Mount Everest climbers who went on the very first voyage in 1953; Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hilary both reached the summit on May 29 of “1953" at 4am in the morning. This story really is once in a lifetime because it showed the power of passion, Grit, and the ability to tackle a huge task and not knowing the outcome.

Life doesn’t always give you a road map

When your born you aren’t born with a guide on how to live or how to make money to survive; we all have days when we are beating ourselves up about what we haven’t finished or accomplished but most people don’t know that just starting to be creative puts you in the 2% of the world that actually thinks of pursuing their goals or dreams. What is it that you want to be? That’s the first step to knowing that you want more then the process starts on how to become better at what you seek to accomplish. Setting short term goals can help you stay on a steady path and allows you to not be overwhelmed; that overwhelming feeling is just the fuel to set long term goals that will result in a peaceful successful lifestyle. Steve jobs said it best “ Your time is limited , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life” .

Trying will lead you to success because you started

Whenever you have that feeling in your heart or your mind that you want to do something great act on it. Everything doesn’t need a huge thought out process to be a success; most people who are very successful now days didn’t even know that they would reach massive levels of wealth but one thing they did that’s different from a lot of people is they never gave up and they continued to seek opportunity. They prepared themselves while waiting on their shining moment; see most people give up on their goals and dreams right before they actually take off and that is the number 1 problem “quitting” never quit keep moving forward always. My last words to you is this, if you want to be successful enjoy where you are today embrace it because being grateful for where you are in life makes you resourceful and humble. Lastly live out your dreams and achieve your goals “it’s always impossible until it is done” Nelson Mandela
