What It Takes To Make It In Life

Life is not about doing nothing. Life is about doing something, not about doing everything.

Life is not about wasting time, your time. That is why you should NEVER waste your time.

Don’t waste your time with people who are just going through life. That is not what life is about.

Life is time. If you are NOT doing something that is getting you closer to your dreams, if you are not chasing customers, if you are not creating a culture where your people are free to mess up, if you fail, do not blame it on anybody.

Because no one is responsible for your life. You are.

If you want to win, you must follow those who are getting things done. If you do not know how to reach them, you can ask for help.

Remember, according to Dave Kerpen, ‘Every minute you spend with someone who isn’t going to help you get what you want is a minute spent away from someone who may help you get what you want.’

That is what successful don’t do. They don’t waste their time with people who are not going to help them get what they want. You can do the same.

If you really want to get to your next level, you have got to stay away from people who are not going to help you get what you want.

Remember, to be successful, it is about three things: what you know, who you know, and what they are willing to do for you.

The question is, Are you spending your time with the right people?

Why You Should Be The Owner Of Your Own Story

You are your story.”

“So many of us go through life with our stories hidden, feeling ashamed or afraid when our truth doesn’t live up to some established ideal… That is, until someone dares to start telling that story differently.”– Michelle Obama

Your story matters. The question is, “Are you the owner of your story?” If you are not the person in charge of writing your story, who is writing it? You must be the owner of your story. You must be proud of your story. Because your story is who you are. Don’t give it away for nothing. It is important.

Don’t be afraid to write your story. Don’t be scared to tell the world who you really are. Don’t be scared to tell the world where you have been. The world wants to hear your story. The world wants to hear about your failures, your challenges, your successes, and your struggles.

The world wants to hear from you. Are you ready to tell the world who you really are?

Don’t be afraid to narrate your own story. If you don’t do it, someone else will do it for you. And when they do it, they will do it wrongly. They will narrate their own versions of your story. You must be in charge of your life. Because your story is your life. It is your history. It will be your legacy. It is your power. Don’t let the world hear your story from another person. Let the world hear your own story from you.

According to Michelle Obama, “Your story is the most powerful part of who you are- the struggles, failures, successes, and everything in between. Remember always to stay open to new experiences and never let doubters get in the way.” And you shouldn’t get in your own way. Write your own story. Yes, write it.

Your story is not against you; it is for you. Your story is for you. It can change your life if you master it. You are a victor of your story. You are not a victim of your own story. Whatever you have been through in your life, write about it. It is your story.

Tell your story. Use your story to build your character, to learn from your mistakes, to learn more about yourself, and to grow your spiritual Self.

It doesn’t matter where you have been. It matters where you are going. Use your own story to guide your life. Use your own story to live your life. Let your story be your teacher. Don’t blame anyone for your life. If you want to enjoy your own story, you must take responsibility for telling it. Because you are your own story. Keep it going!
