Not Every One Can Celebrate Your Success!

Have you ever, come in contact with a person who seem to breathe out negativity? You were experiencing a happy day about an accomplishment, but you made the mistake of telling them what your excitement was all about. All of a sudden, the person whom you assumed would share in the celebration, said something negative that dampened your spirit. I can picture the new expression on your face, yes, the joy you felt before quickly faded away, your new facial expression is now a frown.

While there are others who may appreciate your success, there are some who could care less about you moving ahead in life. Not every one has your best interest at heart. There are many who rejoice in your vulnerable position and take pleasure in seeing you fall. Every trial brings you one step closer to fulfilling your destiny. Consider the obstacles as a friend rather than seeing them as an enemy. Obstacles are placed before us to make us stronger and wiser. All great men and woman who succeeded throughout history experienced set backs and rejection. People may try to hold you back, but you have the power to rise above all the negativity that is in your surroundings. Continue to press your way pass all the blockage and adversities. As you continue to fight through these experiences, you will soon find out that these things will compel you to keep succeeding. If I was to give you advice, it will simply be to send thank you notes to all the people who said you could not do it and you will never succeed. Tell those people how much you appreciate their criticisms and how their words encouraged you to be a successful person.

Your Dreams Are Your Greatest Passion!

As a child, I spent most of my days, day dreaming. My mind was filled with creativity that needed an outlet of expression. As I matured into a young woman, those dreams soon became dormant and then extinct. In the last two years, a feeling of void overshadowed me, in which manifested an eruption of explosive passion within the core of my being. I suddenly realized, that the dreams I once had, were a confirmation of my calling and purpose. The reason why I exist on this planet is to manifest the elements of my gifts.

I assume that there are other's who may have, or may be experiencing this same feeling of anxiousness and stagnancy. The question is, where should one begin after your calling has been made clear? We can have a mind filled with dreams, but if there is no passion in pursuing what is necessary to develop and expand your dreams, there will be no product of your imagination. There are many resources that are made available for research on any particular topic of interest. Learning is progressive, and it is our individual responsibility to ensure that we educate ourselves. Read books that will give you information on your area of interest. Find out how you can become qualified for the position. Research the pay rate and avenues in which your skill can be used. Follow an individual that has already accomplished what you are trying to achieve. Watch their reality shows, read their biography, join their newsletter or get information from their websites. It may be an Entrepreneur like Donald Trump, an actress like Julia Roberts, an artist like Alecia Keys or a fashion designer like Kimmora Lee Simmons. Prayer and meditation also plays a major part by asking God to guide your path and grant you favour with genuine connections. Your dreams are your greatest passion but it is up to you to turn those dreams into reality.
