I used to think that the great things that happened to people were based of chance. Someone placed the opportunity in front of you and created this great move for you. Well that barely happens, so you can cut that daydream short.

You have to create your own opportunities and make your own choices on the life that you want. No one can dangle an dream in front of you and expect you to take it. It doesn’t work that way

When someone places that dream in front, you have to take into consideration the small details attached. It may look good on the outside, but on the in, you are living the life that THEY want, not what YOU want. That’s why you see so many kids in college or in life taking up major they no good and damn well they do not life. Why? Because someone told them they should be.

You can’t live your life through anyone’s goals or rules. That’s not fair to you because you are wasting your time and its not fair to them because even though they see you living their dream, it will never be them making those moves happen. This life we have is so limited because time is not on our side. We have to be mindful of the task we take on the and time that we spend. We can’t get that time back and life shouldn’t t be full of regrets because we chose to waste valuable moments doing thngs that did not make us happy.

People don’t think they have the ability to create an amazing life for themselves. They give all these excuses about how they are scared, not smart enough, not good enough and so on. Once you give yourself an excuse, you are limiting your capabilities. Think of the great life that you could have without limitations. Now don’t think that you are just going to walk through life with no issues. We are all promised a couple days of trouble. That’s just the reality of it, but you have mindset and the capabilities to make everything that you want in life come true. That is truly one of the most difficult things to do in this world, to limit yourself. There will always be an urge to be better or to be stronger, but becuase you are standing in your own way, there is no way you will be able to see. It sucks because the potential that you have inside yourself is just waiting for you to release that limit and make these amazing moves.

Why not take that chance? Why not make that move? Why not believe in yourself for once and do what you what makes you happy? You only have one life to live. Why not live it under your rules?
