What do you want most out of life? The money or the fame, the simple pleasures or adventures, or even just someone to love. It is a question we all come to ask ourselves. What is it that we really want? I hope that in this blog, you can figure that out for yourself and start to make strides toward your fullest potential. Once you reach that potential, then the life you dream of can start to become a reality.

The small moments, the moments that make us realize that this is it. The moment you realize what you were meant to do in your life. The time that you finally learn the reason for your existence or the reason why you were born. A smile, a whisper, a shout, or a song has the power to touch so many people. It doesn’t matter where you are today because you can be in that moment.  The moment you might be overwhelmed with delight and vigor. At that moment, the world doesn’t seem so big anymore, and you start to see the impact you can have on it. At this moment, your cup is full, and you are ready to give unto the world.

This is a natural type of feeling. It comes from spreading and utilizing your gift. The power you have when you start to do what you were meant to do is unparalleled. It is almost like a superpower you have. The power to connect or destroy, but also to save. What is it that you want to leave behind when you are gone? Your legacy can be as big or as great as you want it to be. Will you begin today?

Your gift is something you have to discover for yourself. Other people might compliment you on your gift now without you realizing it. They might say things like you are really good with numbers, you’re very caring, you’re a really good singer, you’re a good sports player. Those compliments are the puzzle pieces to guide you to where your best self is because when you know and use your gift, you light up. It might be exhausting at first, but the joy you get from it can quell any type of fatigue. So every day, you have to live your best life. You have to cherish your friends and families and all your loved ones. Keep making the magic happen, and keep doing what you were meant to do. Achieving your goals and embracing personal growth and success will help you continue to light the path toward fulfilling your true potential. Cultivate a mindset for success and always strive for more, knowing your legacy will be as big as you dare to make it.

The one person who wants to see you smile each day is me. I want to see everyone be something great, but I cannot do that, sadly. Complacency will stop you from living your best life, and fear has killed more dreams than any act of violence has taken a life. Live your life on the edge, but be cautious not to burn your light out too quickly. Continue to take educated risks and strive each day for growth. Do not let your life be just a passing moment. Define what you want in your life and follow that.

Be sure never to lose yourself in the troubles of the world. Do not get caught up in toxic relationships and environments. There is a saying that goes like this: “We are not trees; you do not have to stay where you are.” Basically, in good and bad times, you can make a choice to be someplace else. You can get out of that bad neighborhood, or you can escape that evil person with bad intentions for you. In life, you do not have to make anyone happy because, at the end of the day, we are in charge of our own happiness. The people who look for others to make them happy will not aspire to be anything more than a leech. You do not have to give anyone your blood, sweat, and tears if it is not going to help you grow. You need to make the most of the time you have because time is the most valuable thing you have and can share. Remember, the mindset for success starts with understanding that your happiness is your responsibility. You have the power to achieve your goals and focus on your personal growth and success.

We all want to be accepted, but not at the cost of the future of our destiny. You can be as successful as you want to be in life. Just because you get tired or things get difficult doesn’t mean you have to give up. There is no one road to the top, but the roads that lead there are challenging, and many people are not up for that challenge. Just because you have to turn back today doesn’t mean you cannot try again tomorrow. Keep going until the life you desire is attained.

Now that we understand the importance of life, we have to begin to make the most out of your life. Be sure that every minute is felt, and don’t let failure be a determining factor for you. You do not have to lower your standards or succumb to a life of meritocracy. Be sure to aspire to bring the most out of your life, and when you get to the top, begin to help others reach new heights too. The top doesn’t have to be the loneliest place. It can be a place of safe haven and growth for everyone.

Now that you have the mindset for success, you can go out and be victorious. You can achieve great things in life if you put your mind to it. Making the most out of your life begins and ends with you. You are the key to your future and the creator of your destiny. There will be many distractions to try and slow you down, but make sure to know what is going to raise you higher and stay away from what will bring you down once you have learned how miraculous your being here is. Then the journey to your best self can begin. You can begin to make the most out of your life and then start to make the most out of the world. Again, it begins and ends with you. Now is the time to take life by the horns and show it who’s boss, you!

Until then,
