The people who get on in this world are those who get up and look for the circumstances that they want, and if they cannot find them, make them. - Barrack Obama
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
Listen up, I do not believe in circumstances! It is the same boiling water which softens potatoes that hardens eggs. So it’s all about the stuff you’re made up of; not your circumstance!
The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. Michael Jordan, when asked how he rose to become the world’s greatest basketballer of all time, answered, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you get up and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of humans to alleviate their lives by conscious effort. In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, that's when you will be successful.
Take action today! You’re responsible!
