#9- Achieving Your Dreams

There are people out there who are currently content where they are with no desire to change. There are others who have spent their lives trying to achieve a dream and are now glorifying in all their success. Then there are those of us who know we belong somewhere, doing something we’ve always dreamed of but we have trouble building that bridge and connecting the person we are at present with the vision we have for ourselves in the future. Let me lay down an example: A girl works as a secretary in a business firm deep down has always wanted to own her own fashion line. How does she make that jump? How does she get out of that “rat race” where she needs the 9 to 5 to pay the bills but then doesn’t have time to pursue what she wants?

For one, THERE IS ALWAYS TIME! If it’s something that you truly want to do, you wouldn’t mind staying up till 4:30am to work on it, even after you’ve clocked out of your other job. That’s what the successful people do. Even those who don’t need the 9 to 5 to pay bills are always working ‘round the clock to make things happen. What makes you think you’re any different? In Twitterville it’s called the GrindFlu, and it means that, while the rest of the world is sleeping, you are one of the few out there staying up to make things happen! Those are the people whose dreams come true.

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired & discouraged men who kept on working”- RT on Twitter

Next, there are NO EXCUSES! Whether you are tired, don’t have enough money, may not have the latest and best equipment, nothing should hold you back! Work with what u have, don’t let anything stop you! If you work in a mall and can’t tweet because you don’t have a smart phone, go to the Apple store in the mall and tweet before work, after work and during your lunch break. Don’t have access to a computer at home? Go to the library! Its’ all about letting nothing stop you!

“There are no excuses when you're trying to get to the top”

Last, but definitely not least, realize that IN EVERYTHING, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY! Lets say you work at that 9 to 5 that you think has nothing to do with what you want in the future. Don’t just look at it as a job, realize that behind it, there is gold. Lets take the girl who works as a secretary for example. If she really wanted to she could turn her mindset around and realize that what she is actually learning by being in that job is invaluable things like time management, organization, and scheduling, all things that, if done right, will put her way ahead of the competition when starting her own fashion line. It’s all in the mindset! Once you realize how your job will truly help you for the future, you’ll now do it with that much more conviction and excitement because you’ll see that it’s all just preparation for when you are ready to go on your path!

We all have a purpose here on this Earth. Lets go out there and make it happen!!

With all my love,
