As little Children ,many of us had dreams of becoming Doctors,Air Force Pilots, Super Spies,Astronauts and the President or Prime Minister of our nation. As kids we did not envision difficulty, we did not envision worry, we never considered taxes,logic or "the real world" .
Sadly as we cross over and transition from child hood to adult hood, as we become more aware and "intelligent" we toss away all those childish fantasies. We are told by teachers,parents,relatives and friends "Welcome to the real world" . We are told to put away those childish ways and get a real job like every body else. The key word "like every body else". When we yield to that we join the rat race, and we look for a Just Over Broke(JOB) , and struggle constantly were there is more month at the end of the money.
As we get older, we give up our dreams ,thinking that they are silly .
We have to realise that to dream is not the fathom of our brain but the outline of our destiny. There is a saying that goes "The poorest person in the world is not the one without money but the one without a vision".
The mentality that you have to work in a good solid company to be successful is a farce. We all know that a job has it's many limits. A company can fire employees at any time, a company can file for bankruptcy at anytime, we all know too well the story of Enron. So much for job security huh.
Many of us have the potential to be business moguls like Richard Branson of the Virgin Empire, Deal makers like Donald Trump, financial wizards like Robert Kiyosaki. Motivational speakers like Johnny Whimbery, Les Brown ,Zig Ziglar, Suze Orman. Not all of us are of that road, some have the potential to to be the next Quincy Jones, Timbaland, Aretha Franklin, others the next Cristiano Ronaldo, Lebron James or Roger Federer . Where am i going with this? Many of us have God given talents , by which we are meant to live by. The Bible says "a Man's gift will make room for him". Do we see this every day ? Yes.
We see it in Tiger Woods on the golf course, Oprah Winfrey talking on her show, Sergey Brin and Larry Page(Google founders) on the computer , Michael Jackson on the dance floor. Think about it for a moment, what if they had given up their dreams , wheat would the world be like?
Everything we see in the world.The buildings we live in ,the clothes we wear the cars we drive all started as dreams. People that had big dreams, dreams that were bigger than them. Thomas Edison got tired of straining his eyes and dreamt of the light bulb. Henry Ford got tired of horse carriages and their limited speed and dreamt of the Automobile. John Logie Baird got tired of leaving home all the time,wanted home entertainment and dreamt of the television.Are you seeing a pattern here?
Like many of us , they all had nay-sayers. Some "experts" told Henry Ford that the human body could not handle speeds above 60-mph . People told Thomas Edison that he was crazy and he should give up after he failed so many times,thank God he did not listen to them. The founder of MTV was told that Music television would never ever be popular, we all know, perhaps too well how that turned out. When US President John F Kennedy , proposed to put a man on the moon, many people laughed , even the "experts" saying it was impossible. A certain young author had received so many rejections for his story from publishers,that told him his story could no sell that he threw the manuscript into the trash can. It was his wife that found it ,dusted it off and told him to try again. The book went on to sell 4 million copies and was produced into a blockbuster. That story was Carrie, and that author was Steven King.
There have always been and there always will be nay sayers in this world and in our lives.
The question we should now be asking ourselves is .If they can do it, why not me? If that guy can rise up and become a multi millionaire , ME TOO.
When we make that decision, that is the very first step,but it is not enough. You need to remove all the barriers that your mind has been conditioned to and programmed with over the years. You need to dive into personal development and start to change you mindset and your way of thinking.
From then you need to have a vision, a well laid out plan. A map and blue print for where you want to go and how you plan to get there. Leaders always emphasise the power of goal setting. It keeps you on track and enables you to focus your eyes on the ball. Write down your goals and place them where you can see then every day.
Self affirmation as another thing that can not be over emphasised. Sports Icon and boxing legend started to call himself "the greatest" before anyone knew his name. Slowly and surely as he gained victory he sad it even louder. His opponents started to believe it because of his self affirmation and his proof that he was more than just words.MAKE YOUR MIND YOUR ALLY NOT YOUR ENEMY
The subconscious mind,does not know the difference between the truth and a lie, it will accept whatever you feed it. If you tell yourself every day, every morning I AM CONFIDENT, I AM SUCCESSFUL do that everyday for 21 days and it becomes a habit.
One absolutely necessary step that you have to take is get away from nay-sayers.People who are negative. Those that tell you to get real.Those that tell you you can never do it.Those that critically analyze your ream and the economy and why it will never work. GET AWAY FROM SUCH PEOPLE.
Henry Ford,Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison were best friends. They all built homes close to each in Florida. They would all get together and spend time picking each others brains sharing ideas. Get around people who have achieved what you want to achieve. Get with people better than you.If you can not find someone to take you under their wing, find a wing to crawl under.
Associate with visionaries like you. Just because it does not happen over night does not mean it would not happen.
Remember the story of Joseph in the Bible. He told his brothers of his dreams and they sold him into slavery. From slavery he became a house manager, but lost that when the bosses wife sued him for sexual harassment .He lost the case and was sent to prison, from prison, his vision and integrity got to the ears of the right people, and he was soon standing in front of the Pharaoh .Bottom line, he became the right hand man to the Pharaoh, essentially running the country.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ADVERSITY. Don't ever think there won't be. "Adversity causes some men to break and others to become record breakers".
We have to learn how to mentally shift gears,change your excitement from mental to practical, move your vision from your head to your heart.You may be scared to leave your job and pursue your dream but some times you have to jump off the cliff and grow your wings on the way down.
Success ,Failure,Positivity and Negativity are all frequencies , you have to choose which frequency you want to tune into. Who is holding the remote control of your life. You or nay-sayers, those friends and relatives who do not have better lives than you. You can love them from a distance, but do not allow their negativity to kill your dream.
If your dream is not big enough that it scares you , then you probably are not dreaming big enough. Do not allow anyone else to create your world for you because they will create it too small.
If you are sick of waking up to an alarm clock, or that boss that just would not cut you a break. There are ways and means out of it. One of them is network marketing, which has given people to be their own boss, decide their own hours and be in charge of their own profits. Jim Rohn the world famous speaker says "Profits are better than wages" . It is an Entrepreneur's world , and there is a company that offers this to you combined with the power of personal development. If you are interested and want to find out more go to
