Discovering your dream

If you haven’t already discovered your dream, read the following five steps that will help you clear away the clutter and discover your dream:

Believe in your ability to succeed.
Get rid of your pride. People full of themselves usually don’t have much room left over for a life-changing dream.
Cultivate constructive discontent. Complacency never brings success.
Escape from habit. Don’t accept what “is” without considering what could be.
Balance creativity with character. When it comes to their dreams, truly successful people have enough creativity to think it out and enough character to try it out.


Each of us has the seed of success. Is your seed dormant or are you watering it daily to bring you the harvest that you were born to have?

Harmony

When a group of people sing in HARMONY it doesn’t mean that they sing in UNISON. The requirement for an effective team is NOT that everyone is the same because we all play different parts. We should all agree though that to get the best MELODY and results from our efforts, our efforts should complement each other rather than conflict with each other. The beauty of a TEAM is that we all have different talents that can RAISE the entire team. Let’s learn to embrace each other’s differences, both strengths and weaknesses.

Shout out to mothers!

As mothers, our families love and admire us because we help them go to another level. My own mother always sacrificed so that I and my sister and brothers could have the education and other material things she was not able to have as a child of WWII. She gave us by example, the tools to build a better tomorrow. You are doing the same for your families. She enlarged us and empowered us to be successful and meet the challenges of life. She taught us our value as human beings and instilled in us our own inherent belief in our own ability to succeed. I honor my mother daily by being a good human being and being a successful human being. I am the evidence that SHE walked this earth and it is because of her that I am grounded spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

Broken-ness

There are times in our lives that can be described as a period of “brokenness”. These periods are necessary to remove inappropriate pride and over inflated self-reliance. When we embrace these periods what we will find is that we can use our brokenness to re-affirm our life’s purpose and re-affirm our beliefs.

Those folk that given in to brokenness and give up or become angry, usually find themselves in ruts following behind “dumb” things. Remember, when “bad things” happen to you, you are being molded into something better! “Bad” is just a perception and can be the tool that takes you to the next level of your development. Don’t be angry because of feedback and or life’s events. Get actualized and push through and forward!

Graduation

Now that it’s May, graduations are just right around the corner. There are thousands of high school seniors, college seniors, 4th year medical students and graduate students that are looking forward with anticipation to their future and their prospects. We can all capture that glow on a daily basis with anticipation if we hold onto the belief that each day brings opportunities which on the most part are disguised as challenges. As you face challenges today in both your personal life and work life embrace the challenge and use its energy to create opportunities for yourself. You are only limited by your vision and your courage.
