“Ugh, I’m not smart enough!” “There’s no way that could ever happen to me. Things that good never come my way.” Or just the simple two words phrase “I can’t.” All phrases that we’ve all may have slipped up and said in a phase of frustration or stress. Being attacked with pressures and expectations people have for you can often make you feel like you will never be good enough to achieve your dreams. As you continue to grow and go through life you will find out a hidden piece of info that will change how you look at life forever. Hmmmm you want to know?? Ok, here it goes. But warning after you read it you are responsible for this golden nugget of knowledge. Even though people may doubt you or say negative comments about you or your future, YOU are the ONLY person that can stand in your way of achieving your dreams! Yes, I know Kanye isn’t the only one who likes to play the ‘Blame Game’ but we all do. We all love to put the blame on others of our failures. But that is not the case at all. Here are ways you can take the power back to your own hands!

Word Check!- You are the first person who hears the words leaving from your lips and into the world. Which means that it was originally a thought that transformed into words and then what?? You got it! Eventually it’s going to show through your actions. So if you say that you “can’t” do something or it’s “impossible,” you already stamped your action to go in that direction.  Your mind and words are a powerful tool that acts as compass to your life. Take control of them both before it leaves you down the wrong path. Even if you don’t feel confident about something say you are and eventually your mind will believe it!

Life is A Choice- For some reason we all like to make things seem a bit more difficult than they have to be. But life can actually quite simple at times. It’s as easy as a choice. Once you make up your mind that you WILL achieve your goal and you choose to put in the hard work to get there. There is NOTHING that can stop you, except you if you give up before the end. Everything we do is because of a choice we make. But do not fall victim to subconscious choices but with guidance take control and choose the path of life you want to go down.

Sky is The Limit- Who wants to be average?? No one daydreams 20 minutes into algebra class about being an average person. Nope, doesn’t happen! When we dream we dream BIG! And there is a reason for that. The reason is that dreams show us where we can be if we tap into all of our potential and talent and usually that it’s just the beginning stages. Never limit yourself because everyone else is okay with being average.  Shoot for the moon so if you miss you would fall in the clouds! If you do not take anything away from this spicy little article take away this…THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LIMIT TO HOW MUCH YOU CAN ACHIEVE! Don’t only remember it but believe it!
