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.

Transitioning is…

Whether we know it or not, we are transitioning everyday. We are changing everyday. Why are we transitioning? Do we really like to do it? Why is it important?

Let us face it. No one likes to change, to move, to do things in a different way, to move a way from our friends, to change school, to change course, to change our shoes, yes, our shoes. We don’t like to transition from one place to another. Why?

Because it is difficult. Transitioning means you have to give up your old ways of doing things. It means you have to do things in different ways. It means you are growing. It requires you to leave your comfort zone. It requires you to move from one city to another city. It means you have to forget the past and embrace the future. It means you are developing. It means you are adjusting. It means you are transforming. It means you are adapting.

If transitioning is so important to our growth and development, why are people not transitioning?

People don’t like to transition or to change the way they do things because they are afraid of the unknown. They don’t know what to expect. They know that it is very emotional, very stressful, very uncomfortable, and it takes longer time to complete.

“Transitioning is Changing.”

In order to grow, you have to get comfortable with change. Transitioning is changing. If you want to transition or change to a complete different thing, start by believing in yourself that you can do it. Then start. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up. Surround yourself with people who have gone through the same process. Talk to them. Focus on ‘why’ you are changing. Don’t listen to what people are saying. They are irrelevant. What is necessary is what you are doing- changing. Even if it is not working out in the beginning, don’t give up. Keep trying and believing in yourself until you succeed. And you will.
