The Road to Success starts from within

I never started something and not finish yet I never started and not wanting to give up. I am convicted of who I am and my place in this world. What I want to accomplish and what I fear the most meet at a place of my conviction.

Most successful people have a long hard journey and they did not all come from a place of wealth or advantage. It is easy to make an excuse than it is to overcome obstacles. I do not believe in "There is nothing I can do", as a human being I have learned that given an opportunity to reject our obstacles, we are built to find a way out of any situation.

My formula for success has always been conviction + perseverance = success

When starting your journey the first step is always working on you. That is knowing your strengths and weaknesses, knowing what you can do by yourself and with the help of others and learning how to identify the opportunities that will built towards what you wish to pursue. What you are willing to learn and what you would rather outsource through partnerships.

When taking the first step in walking towards that dream, that passion and that accomplishment, everyday should be a success as it brings you closer to your main goal. The days will not be the same and your feelings will not compliment your journey let alone your thoughts. Due to that one needs to have the foundation within that reminds you to keep getting up when life knocks you down.

Perseverance comes in when one has to decide between sacrificing in the name of your dream. That means forgoing things and relationships that are toxic to your dream and most importantly letting go of your comfort, expensive and irrelevant lifestyle to save and keep your dream alive.

One needs to look at the world around and not care what others think of you. One needs to get comfortable not having friends or attending parties or having a new outfit or the car people your age are driving. That strength to allow for temporary embarrassment or labelling as something you are not. I believe in the words "It is temporary" because once you understand them you will put up with anything to make the dream work.

Not everyone intends to sacrifice but that is ok, it does not mean those unwilling to sacrifice will not reach their goal. At times those unwilling to sacrifice are more patient and are willing to wait, while those that are impatient will sacrifice anything. Which ever person you choose to be I can assure you it is alright as long as you do not forget why you doing what you are doing.

We are very quick to be loud and it is human nature but in the walk to success the dream should be loader so you hear it calling out to you. In the journey of success one is can't be told what to do or how to do it as we are not the same the there is not blueprint. However food for thought should be shared to help the next person think of what they are willing to do. I am still on my journey and and happy to share my food for thought.

I root for the brave young people walking, leaping, running and fighting for their dreams and the life they wish to have. Keep going to are getting closer everyday.
