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

When Your Best Isn't Good Enough

Ever feel like no matter how hard you've tried or how much effort you put into something or someone, your best just isn’t good enough? Well, my mother, God rest her soul, used to say: "When man on earth has done their best, Angels in heaven can’t do more." I loved that woman... she was such an inspiration and my best friend. I miss you so. Well, here are some other advices I have gathered to help us feel better when life knocks us down:

How to Get the Life You Want:

According to Stephen Covey, in his book 7 Habits of Highly Effectively People,  in order to be successful and live the life you want, you must " put first things first" .  A pretty old saying if you ask me.  Something my own parents or grandparents have said for decades.  Now I am going to tell you the same thing again.

Happiness is a Myth

What if I told you everything you thought you knew about happiness is wrong? The truth is happiness is a myth and an illusion that is  overrated.   It is like chasing after a butterfly. The more you pursue it, the more it eludes you, and the moment you catch it is the moment it begins to die.  So, from whence came the word happy? According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the first record of the word was around 1350,   from Middle English, "a form of the English language spoken after the Norman conquest (1066) until the late 15th century," which is a derivative of the Old Norse "happ," meaning "luck" or "chance."  It combined "the word hap, meaning "a person's luck or lot," and the suffix –y, meaning "characterized by," to   form diminutive nouns and adjectives denoting a state, condition, or quality.  Then, in essence, when someone says, "I want to be happy," they are really saying that they want someone e...
