Take the initiative and make it happen!
One day looking out the window, seeing all those posh cars, women dressed to kill and the gentlemen OMG dressed like they live in a planet of their own, I wondered how people actually get there. Like have you ever wondered how people your own age, your classmates and schoolmates seem to have this kind of life so different from yours.
You stop and think we had basically the same tutors and our marks were more or less the same and sometimes you actually performed so much better. How do they have this life?
Instead of making up theories and wondering what kind of witchcraft they are using, did you for a moment stop to self-introspect? What have I done to change my situation? Talk to yourself, ask yourself questions, what have I done so far, what do I have, what do I need and what is it that I really want to do to change my life?
It all begins with YOU.
Mohandas Gandhi once said “be the change you want to see in the world”. Although life ups and downs are inevitable, you are the one person to initiate positive personal change so you can rise to the challenge and become a bigger and better person and as a result, you will become the person you want to be.
Ask yourself, who am I? What do I want in life? Why do I want that? How do I achieve it?
Personally, growing up I was that someone that wanted nothing but financial independence. I looked around me and saw how people’s lives seemed to be moving so well and there I was stuck in the same place.
I told myself it’s that one small step I take towards my goals of becoming this independent woman that will make a difference. If I don’t start how do I become the person I want to be? I looked at myself, stuff I had within my reach and decided to start something with it.
It wasn’t easy but it was worth it. It’s really funny how I started selling sweets, and amazingly they were moving so well that I managed to move my line of business from selling just sweets to Ganellie perfumes then to Avon beauty products, the list goes on.
Bottom line is if you want something done do it yourself, the great things you achieve tomorrow starts with the small steps you take today. You just don’t wake up at the top, you start from somewhere and move up.
Do something today that makes you look back and confidently say “I did this.” Wouldn’t that make you smile? Seeing your efforts bloom to greatness? Everyone has a chance to greatness, it depends if you are willing to start, take the initiative, work towards it and never tire.
It starts with YOU. Whatever comes your way grab it only if it leads you a step closer to achieving your goals. Never stop till it gets you where you want to be.
