That is me! "the only people crazy enough to change the world.... are the ones that think they can" -Steve Jobs. Well........ call me crazy, but I think I can help change the world. Starting with the people I come in contact with either face to face or through this blog. I want people to discover their potential. To live a life feeling successful and complete, a life that moves forward in growth and doesn't stand idle.
Some people seek success in different ways, most people seek success through wealth. I believe success comes from accomplishing goals that you set. What I mean is..... goals accomplished = success...... however big or small. Does this mean that because I was successful and have reached my weight loss goal that I don't strive for more? No, because I believe that it is in our design to desire more. I believe we were created to dream the impossible and have faith that we can achieve even more.
With whatever goal you set, you have to ask yourself this question: "how bad do you really want it?" Your goals can be small or BIG, some examples: That new pair of Miss Me jeans (remember I said small) .... are you willing to work those extra hours to foot the bill of those cute jeans because It's really going cost you..... you may come to realize...... they are not worth it or maybe they are? Either way it's your life and your choice. A new job or career change, you may want to follow your dream but you will have to weigh the sacrifices. Maybe you will have to work 2 jobs to maintain an income you require, maybe it will mean less time spent in certain areas of your life. But it may also mean that you would feel less stress, make your life more fulfilling and enjoyable. Maybe you want to change the world (remember I said big) like Nelson Mandela who spent 27 years in prison because he wanted to abolish apartheid, or Martin Luther King who ultimately gave his life for freedom. Both of these men had huge goals to change the world and leave a mark in history that would outlast their lifespan. They changed the world forever.
In order to do this they first set a goal, they found a path to take knowing that the path may wonder but inevitably lead to the ultimate goal. They were successful because they were driven and had the mindset to give whatever it takes. For me my goal was to loose weight. I had attempted it many times only to fail over and over. This time, because I changed my mindset.... I was successful. It wasn't easy and many times I wanted to give up but with help and with diligence I persevered. It hurt me physically and emotionally, ultimately my coach and trainer broke me. Broke me of my pride, my Will and my emotional insecurities. With that came the acceptance of myself that I am enough, that I can do the impossible. Like a man named Demosthenes, who wanted to become a speaker but realized he had a lot of shortcomings. A speech impediment, he lacked physical strength and a commanding presence. He fixed his speech by placing pebbles in his mouth and began speaking forming his lips and moving his tongue to speak clearly. He ran up hillsides while reciting speeches to increase his lung capacity and shouted above the crashing waves to make sure he could be heard. He became the most well known speaker of his time. Imagine what you could do if you had that type of mindset...... to do anything you believed you could do to reach your goal.
Don't stay idle'd in your life..... keep moving forward, I believe in you.
