“No man can live a full life while he is bound in any part of his nature. He must have freedom of thought as well as freedom of action to grow to his full height.”- Orison Sweat Marden

Your goal in life is to grow to your full height. Your goal in life is to make things happen, not allowing things to happen to you. When you allow things to happen to you, you have no control over it. But when you make things happen, you have control over every decision concerning that thing. In other words, you are the master of your life. You are the owner of your life.

There is nothing in life that you cannot achieve if you make things happen rather than allowing things to happen to you. Remember, anything that controls you is your master.

Don’t let things happen to you, make things happen to you. Whatever it is you want, you can get it. You can get by working smart, by working hard, by doing one thing at a time.

If you want to enjoy your life. if you want to be productive, if you want to be happier, make things happen to you rather than allowing things to fall on your head. If you do that, you are on your way to freedom.

Why You Can’t Succeed Alone

We are more connected than we even know. We need people to help us succeed in life. We need more than talent, passion, determination, perseverance, focus, and a dream to succeed.

You need good friends to tell you what exactly you need to hear. It is what you need to hear that will make you a better person. If no one is telling you what you need to hear, it is time to look for one. To be a better person- a better father, a better boss, a better friend, a better neighbor, a better leader, you need someone to remind you that no one is perfect. If not, it is very easy to think that we are perfect.

You need more than your close friends to succeed. You need people outside of your routine to tell you who you really are. You need someone or people who sees things differently than you do. If you do that, your decision making will be flawless.

To do that, reach out to people. Don’t wait for people to come to you. Meet them where they are, where they work, where they play. Listen to them. Show them you want to know them. People want to be heard, known, and listen to. If they know that you are interested in them, they will invite you into their world.

You can’t succeed alone. You need a great team to work with. If not, you will not accomplish much.
