GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY AND BE AN OPPORTUNIST

 


Wondering how to get what you want?

The difference between those who win and those who don't is that those who win will do what it takes to win, and the rest refuse to do the same.

Let's face it: the only thing stopping you from getting what you want is you.  You say you want something – you want it so bad you can taste it…you daydream about it, you plan, you talk, you read, you write about it.  Yet when the opportunity presents itself, you fail to seize it.  You let yourself stand in the way of you and your goal—your golden opportunity.  Time and time again, you trip and stumble over yourself.

You have to stop letting your inhibitions rob you of the things you want. You may have to sacrifice your rules and your standards: they could be your worst enemies in terms of getting to where and what you want most in life. If you want it bad enough, you have to seize it when the opportunity arises. But will it be worth it in the end? That is the BIG question that you will have to grapple with.

Heck! Do what you told yourself you would never do.  What have you got to lose?  Stop letting your pride rob you of your golden moments.  But remember, after every haughty spirit comes a fall. That said, you never know when another opportunity like that will present itself again.  Opportunity comes, but once, they say.

  • Don’t let anyone or any group set your standards for you
  • Play by your own rules
  • Make up the rules as you go along
  • Ditch old rules for new ones
  • Be forward, Bright and Daring
  • Have the galls to pursue a worthy ideal
  • Know your mission statement
  • Introduce yourself; don’t wait to be introduced
  • Toot your own horn gently
  • Be that, somebody
  • Dare to be the person you want to be
  • Kick shy to the curb and let Bold be the new you!
  • Stop being normal
  • Dare to be different
  • Stop second-guessing yourself
  • Just do it already

Journey of Self: Who Are You?

How do you begin to answer this question? Do you begin with your name, relations, occupation, achievements, life status or family lineage? How about sexual, spiritual or solar orientation? No? Then you must be your race, creed, nationality, or background? Right?... So, if none of those define you, tell me... do you really, truly and honestly know who you are? How might you begin to find out? As individuals we have so many intricacies and facets to our lives that if we have not consciously taken the time to find out who we are, we could be living a lie or someone else idea of who we are. I know, I know...I can hear the protest loud and clear: "I know who I am." But really, do you? I have news for you. What you do and where you came from are NOT you!  That's right, it is an extension of who you are, but it certainly isn't you in its entirety. You were who you are, long before you learned how to walk, talk, read, or write. Long before your passed or cu...

HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS: Four simple questions and basic guidelines

What are goals:  Goals are a set of predetermined thoughts or ideas set about in one’s mind to be attained by a set period in time.  Something that is hoped to achieved with certain expectations and deadlines. In order to obtain balance in your life you must set goals.

Why ? Why do I want this...you must have the right motives or it could backfire. When ?  Set a deadline...a time frame you think is reasonable...you don’t want to set yourself up for failure. How ?  How am I going to do this?

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens. ~Isaiah 48:13 NIV What I woke up to this morning. I quickly sprang from my bed, okay, sofa where I have been sleeping for a while now, and grabbed my phone quickly to capture the vision in front of me. Half hour later, I am still snapping pix and vids. If only my camera could see what I could see. One of the best things about living in this space is the marvellous sunrise and moons I get to experience. REFLECT & PRAY The vision inspired me write a poem reflecting what the image of God's hand was saying to me: THE HANDS OF GOD: Crimson Curtain, Sunrise Framed Through crimson curtains God kissed my eyes, A glowing dawn begins to spread. The city rests still and serene, While crimson skies ignite the scene. A balcony, aged but full of grace, Embraces the glow in its weathered space. Below, a waking town appears, Its shops and streets, calm pion...
