Everyone has a story but not everyone is willing to share their story, and that’s the sad part. Everyone can learn something from the experiences we are willing to share. There are lessons learned and insights that help paint a bigger picture of this big beautiful thing called life. Your story just may be the piece to someone else’s puzzle.

Life will offer up an answer to our prayers but not send it the way we expect it. Here is another way to look at it, we ask for a ride to our desired destination but because we don’t like the vehicle choice to get there, we turn down the ride. Keep in mind, the main objective is to get from point A to point B.

It takes courage and a bit of risk to step outside your comfort zone. That is why a strong “why” is so important to have. The “why” is what will make the most daunting tasks worth doing. A strong “why” is what will give you the gas to keep going on days when you feel empty. A strong “why” is what makes the struggles worth while. Make sure you write down your “why” and review it as often as possible. Why? Because it’s important to know.

Look for ways to get around the obstacles to your success. The great thing about an obstacle in life is that you can get around them and/or learn from them. If you are focused and determined to achieve a specific goal in, an obstacle is just a speed bump, a detour or a delay. There is nothing that can stop a determined soul.

When what you are doing out weighs the need for approval, you know you are on to something. In the book, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles, he states the key to a rich life is having a vision, keeping the mind fixed on the purpose, believing with unshakable faith and maintaining a deep sense of gratitude. Keep striving to be the best version of yourself.

Develop a panoramic view of your life. In Stephen Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People he offers up the thought to begin with the end in mind. What is it you want to be remembered for? What do you want people to say about you? With a panoramic view you can take in so much more of life and develop into a bigger, more expanded version of yourself as well.

In one of the books I read, it stated that we can not connect the dots unless we look back. Looking back is good once in a while, but your future is in front of you. Learn to reconcile and appreciate all of the events in your past because they have made you the person you are today. That means the choices you make today, will lead you to the person you wish to become tomorrow. How cool is that? You can become the master of your fate and the captain of your soul!

When you know that you are on the right path many new opportunities seem to be “pop up”. Not all distractions are “bad”. In times of temptation, keep clarity. Make sure that you have your goal or vision handy and that it is written down. Review it often. Don’t get caught off guard by distractions.

Let your outside be a reflection of your inside. When you have the feeling of success on the inside, dress as if you already have success on the outside. There is nothing like the feeling of confidence when you know you look and feel good. You may not be where you want to be but celebrate where you are. You deserve it.

Not everyone is going to support your dream and that’s okay. Everyone is here with a vision or purpose all of their own. When you allow the behavior or emotions of another keep you from your greatness, you are saying that their wants are more important then what you were designed for. You were given the gift of life, what you do with it is your gift back.
