Have you ever wondered why someone else was successful and not you? Has it driven you crazy trying to figure out exactly what they were doing that you weren’t? Maybe you even felt jealous of them because they had what you wanted – The money, the fame, the recognition, the impact, the overall feeling of satisfaction and having things finally go YOUR way. Do you even KNOW what it is that you want? Or are you just going after what you think you SHOULD want, or after what someone else has. Who’s life are you really living anyway? Is it yours? Or is it your parents’? Your teachers’? Your partner’s? We all have the opportunity to do something with our lives, but let me tell you – No matter what you accomplish, it will mean NOTHING if it’s not something YOU decided to do. Something YOU wanted. And looking over the shoulder of someone more successful than you doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, either. Even if you mimic the exact behaviours of someone further ahead than you are, you will not be happy. Why? Because it ultimately didn’t feel good to YOU. Stop chasing dreams that you don’t want to chase! Stop going after what you think you should instead of what you actually want. I can tell you from experience that you get what you want much faster if it’s actually YOU who wants it, and not someone who just put the idea in your head. Every day you get to make a choice – You can do what you you need to do to make everyone else happy ...
