As Earl Nightingale once said, “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

It is never too late to pursue your dreams. Your dreams will die if you don’t act. To keep your dreams alive, you must take actions to make them happen. You can make them happen. They are within your reach. They are not impossible.

Don’t kill your own dream by imposing limits on your thoughts. Remember, what you think you can do, you can. What you think you can’t do, you can’t. Do not limit yourself.

If you have the courage to pursue your dreams today, your tomorrow will be better than your today. But if you fail to pursue your dreams today, your tomorrow will be worse than your today.

In order to have a better tomorrow, you must do something today. You must change something today. You must change your thoughts. You must be honest with yourself. You must face your own reality, the reality you created for yourself. You must question your reality. Your tomorrow depends on what you are doing right now.

What you plant today will determine what you will reap tomorrow. If you plant positive seeds, you will reap positive fruits. If you plant negative seeds, you will reap negative fruits. Do not kill your dream. Give your dream a chance to survive. Give your dream a chance to grow. Water your dreams. They will water you.

People always say, “I am too old to do this or too old to do that.” Your biological age is not what is stopping you to do something to change your life; it is your thought that is holding you back.

If you change your thinking, your life will change. James Allen said, “A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can remain weak, and object, and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts”

Well said. If you want to achieve small things, you do not need to work very hard. You don’t need to work hard to be an average person. Do you want to be an average person or a great person? You decide.

If you want to achieve much in life, you must do much to get it done. Success comes with a big price. Are you ready to pay the price? Are you ready to work hard? Are you ready to work smart? Are you ready to be uncomfortable?

If you want to achieve big things in your life, you must be ready to work very hard and smart. Sometimes hard work is not enough. You must work smart.

You must be willing and ready to do what others are ignoring. You must be willing and ready to be vulnerable. You must be willing and ready to get out of your bubble. You must be willing and ready to be criticized. When you are ready, the world is ready to help you succeed. When you are ready, the door will open.

There is nothing you cannot achieve in life if you are ready, willing, and committed to making it happen. You can do anything if you want to succeed.

I will sum this article up with a quote from George Whitefield. He said, “Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.”

Constraints, And How To Defeat Them Now

What are constraints? Are they real or self-made? If they are real, how are you going to defeat them?

Do you have a plan to move past your constraints? If not, what are you going to do about it?

In order to move forward in life, you must first defeat your constraints, meaning you must first defeat what is standing in your way to success, to a happier life, to a healthier, to positive relationships- with yourself and others.

Constraints are either real or self-made.

Some constraints you cannot change, but others you can. Constraints are the things that are stopping you from doing what you were created to do.

Self-made constraints are the ones you created in your own mind. The things you tell yourself, and how you see yourself in the world.

The things that you tell yourself can stop you from doing and acting your best. Things like:

“I am not good enough.”

“I am not educated enough.”

“I don’t have what it takes to succeed.”

“I am not smart enough to go to Harvard University.”

These things can stop you from moving forward, from doing your best, from living a happy life. Because they live in your mind. You have created a negative picture of yourself in your mind.

Remember, whatever it is that is getting in your way can be removed. You can remove it by changing what you tell yourself. You can remove it by doing your best. You can remove it by creating a positive self-image yourself in your mind. You can change it by focusing on what is good in your life, not what is terrible. You can change it by acknowledging what you cannot change.

Trying to change what you cannot change is a joke. And it will always be a joke.

Don’t let constraints stop you from being your best. If you allow that to happen to you, you will never be the same again. Even if you fail, try again. Even if you don’t have money to start your own business, use what you have, and get started. Don’t tell yourself any negative things that will defeat you before you even get started. Always fill your mind with the best positive words in the world. The more you tell yourself, the better it is for you, and the healthier your mind and your body.

Don’t focus on constraints, focus on doing your best in life. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. said, “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

If you do your best today, constraints cannot defeat you tomorrow. You will win!
