One of the reasons we are here on earth is to pursue our dreams. We are not here on earth to be unproductive people, but to achieve our dreams. But how do we do it? How do we find out what we really want?

Most people are wandering around doing nothing with their lives. They are wandering around because they don’t know what they want from life. This is the issue with lots of people. In order to be successful, you have to first find out what you want. If you don’t know what you want, how can you do well in life? To do well in life, it starts with knowing what you want. Know what you can do and what you cannot do, and believe in yourself that you can get it done.

“To do well in life, it starts with knowing what you want. Know what you can do and what you cannot do, and believe in yourself that you can get it done

In the words of Norman Vincet Pearle, “The secret of getting what you want from life is to know what you want and believe you can have it.” That is true. As I said before, you will not do well in life if you don’t know what you want, and if you don’t believe that you can do it. It is one thing to know what you want to achieve in life. It is another to believe you can make it happen. It takes courage to pursue what you want from life. Lots of people know what they want from life, but they don’t have the courage to pursue it. If you have a dream and you don’t have the courage to pursue, it will die a dream. To make your dream come true, you MUST pursue it with all your resources.

“It is one thing to know what you want to achieve in life. It is another to believe you can make it happen”

You Deserve To Be Happy

You deserve to be happy. You are here on earth to discover your true self, and to be happy. Happiness is a personal thing. Happiness is unique. What makes you happen will make another person sad. Happiness is not without suffering, pain, or challenges. Happiness is not pain free.

Happiness is responsibility, accountability, and discipline. If you want to be happy, focus on what matters to you, to your life, to your family, and to your community. Dedicate yourself to something bigger than yourself, your ego, or your career. As Hannah Arendt said, “Dedicate yourself to the good you deserve and desire for yourself. Give yourself peace of mind. You deserve to be happy.You deserve delight.” If you want to be really happy, take care of your mind. Don’t let your mind be poisoned by the negative thoughts that you let into your mind. Everything starts in the mind. A happy mind is a happy person.

Real happiness starts in the mind. According to the above quote, “Give yourself peace of mind.” A peaceful mind is a happy person. If your mind is not at peace, you cannot be happy. Because what you are experiencing outside is a reflection of what is happening inside. In other words, your mind controls your actions. Your mind control your behavior. Don’t let negativity mess up your mind. if you do that, your happiness will be at risk of contamination.

“A happy mind is a happy person.”

You deserve to be happy. Yes, you deserve to be happy. But it is not going to happen if you don’t take responsibility for your actions. WHY? Because responsibility is growth, and growth is happiness, and happiness is life. If you are not happy, you are not living. Pat Summitt said, “Accountability is the essential to personal growth, as well as team growth. How can you improve if you’re never wrong? If you don’t admit a mistake and take responsibility for it, you’re bound to make the same one again.”

“If you are not happy, you are not living.”

Accountability is important if you are to be happy. When you hold yourself accountable for your OWN mess, you will learn form it, you will grow in life, you will grow in wisdom, and you will know how to handle the same situation, if in fact, it happens again. You are here on earth to grow, to multiply, to add value to your life and to the lives of the people around you. To make your community a better community. But if you don’t take responsibility for your own mess, how do you expect yourself to be happy? I don’t know. Maybe you know. If you know, let me know, too.

You deserve to be happy! Period.
