Hello World !
DESIRE
Every one dreams. Whether the dream is to be rich or if it's to simply be happy. Good things do come to those who wait BUT you have to put in the work, wait and watch your labor manifest into your dream. For instance, let's say last night you had a dream and in that dream you saw your self in the exact position you want to be in life. It seemed so real but you woke up to find that it had only been a dream. You go on with your life day after day dreaming of the things you could accomplish and the people you can someday meet. "If you do what you've done, you'll get what you've always gotten." You must first DESIRE more for yourself. Secondly you can't expect to see fruits of a labor you did not produce. In other words, you can't expect superior results doing bear minimum in life just to get by. Work at high levels and get high level results. Dreaming is normal, fair, and just but there comes a time where you have to stop dreaming and just live your dream.
PERSPIRE
Perspire is the act of sweat leaving your pores. Most commonly associated with exercise. How does this play a role in dreams? Well, ask your self this. If I call myself working out and by the end of the workout there isn't a drip of sweat falling from my body ... how much of an effort did I really put into that workout? The answer would be very little to none. In order to achieve the desired results you must WORK for it. (in every area of life) "Nothing in life worth having comes easy". There will be plenty of obstacles that will tempt you to stop ... hurt, disappointment, and rejection. (just to name a few) You may feel like giving up ... but "don't give up because you never know how close you are to achieving your goals."
INSPIRE
Whether you're just starting, you're currently perspiring or you've made it, never fail to inspire. Inspire others with your walk. Let them sense that something about you is different and make them curious enough to find out what it is. Inspire others with your talk. Seeming knowledgeable being able to off creditable is beneficial. People will see something in you that can even inspire them to get up and do what ever it is that they've been sitting on. What do I mean by sitting on? I mean procrastinating and saying that they'll do it tomorrow. "Tomorrow isn't promised" so "Don't put off till tomorrow, what you can do today" You want to leave a good impact on people and always make a lasting impression.
Important things to know
1. Networking: "It's not what you know, It's who you know" You could be apart of Greek Life, be apart of many clubs, obtain and maintain dean's list every semester, even be president of the class but if you don't take the time to do internships, go to conventions, talk and connect with those in your field of interest; it makes it harder (not impossible) to find yourself in a desirable position after graduating. I know so many people who have a college degree and are unable to land a job in their field. Then they end up settling for what pays. Don't ever let any one tell you that you can't do something, especially not you. You went to school and worked hard to get the qualifications that put you in the position to make that money so DON'T settle.
2. No Regrets: We all look back on life and say if we would have done so and so differently our life would be so much better. Truth is fate is real. You needed to go through things to teach you and help you grow into the uniquely God created creature you are. My aunt told me that God created us with his goal in mind with the path to follow to reach it but we as born sinners create detours to this goal. Just know you're destiny shall be reached before you pass away. Don't believe me? Look at Jeremiah 29:11.
3. Live your own dreams: Don't compromise your happiness for someone else. If you're doing things to please others you won't ever truly be happy. Go out on a limb and experience life for yourself. Even though you may have been told otherwise, sometimes the best lessons learned are self taught.
4. Negativity: People can project their opinion, thoughts, and advice into you. It's up to you what you accept as truth. When you know who are you and are content with that, it's hard for negativity to uproar your mentality. "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can not do". So don't wait another day. Go pursue your dreams !
5. Patience is a virtue: You may see everyone else around you prospering and you don't seem to be getting anywhere. It's important to know that things do not happen in your timing but in God's. Don't question your neighbor's season of blessing, though yours may not be the same .. it is just right for you.
SB: This blog post was inspired by my haters, motivators, doubters, and by "The Hip Hop Preacher" aka Eric Thomas (E.T.). One day on Facebook I happened to come across one of his videos and was immediately drawn in.. His demeanor demanded attention and his message spoke to my heart. After watching it I was thinking about how to apply what I had heard to myself and make a life long change.
