Define Your Own Path

If you define your own path, if you know what you are going for, if you are willing to do more than other people, if you are willing to be vulnerable, if you are willing to fall, to fail, to make hard choices, to make the right choices, to hang out with the right people, to stand up for yourself and others,

if you are willing to get your hands dirty, if you are willing to accept who you are, if you are willing to be there for yourself, no matter what, more often than not, you won’t fail.

You will succeed. You will win. And you will grow.

That is why following your own path is the path to your own success. No matter how rough, even if you don’t know what you are doing, stay in the game. Don’t quit too soon. Don’t deflate yourself.

Instead of throwing in your towel, why not give it everything that you have got to make it happen?

Yes, don’t waste your time if it is not working. If there is no other way forward, then doing something better, pursuing something greater, is better.

But you have got to make fighting for what you want your everyday thing. Make it a habit.

Things are tough, but do not quit just because they are tough. Tough people don’t quit just because something is tough.

Nothing can stop you from achieving your goals if you are willing to do more

to live more, to enjoy more, to love more, to question more, and to go the extra mile.

Will you?

How To Speed Things Up

We want what we want now. Whatever it will take us, we want it. We are always finding, always looking for something. We are never satisfied with what we have.

We want more, more, more, more, and more. And more things never ends. If that is who we are, then we have lost it. We are not human beings anymore. We are ‘humachines.’ Simply put, we are human machines.

But is that who we really are? Is that why we are here? If we want to enjoy ourselves, our lives, we have got to take care of our lives.

But why are we not doing it? Because we are always running, no time to do the right things.

What are the right things? The right things are: Faith, work, health, relationships, and love. Do we practice them? In reality, no, we don’t. We don’t have time to even love ourselves anymore.

We don’t have time to love where we live.

We don’t have time to practice what we believe in, not even to meet our friends after work.

So what do we do to take back our lives? We can take back our lives, our souls.

We start by slowing down. We can do more when we slow things down, when we spend time with our loved ones. We can do more when we love ourselves. It makes us feel really better about who we are.

We can do more when we are chasing what really matters to us, not what the world wants us to do, or be.

We can achieve greatness when we are ourselves. And happiness will never go away when we slow things down, when we love the little things.

The question is, ‘Do we have the courage to slow things down?’ If not, we are not off the hook.
