What determins my success?
People
every day hold themselves back from the person they could really be because
they are afraid of the change. They listen to what society tells them about
what they should wear, what is cool to drive, what they can and can’t afford.
Nobody has that right in my life. I have chosen to step out of others designing
my life and for once I am designing a life for myself and my family. Sitting
down and writing down what I really want in life and where we want to go,
create a plan and putting it into action. We all have been groomed from the
time we were little on how we will become when we are an adult. For example: Have
you ever met someone that is just negative? Even before meeting the person you can
immediately feel the negative energy they put off. Their ora as some would put
it. It may be the way they are dressed, how they are with their family, how
they approach you. How a person approaches you will make you want to run away
quickly and hide or make you want to know more about that individual. This person
could be dressed head to toe like they didn’t care to be there or even care to
get out of bed. Have their family with them and shouting at them and maybe
argue with the other people along the way, and approach you like it’s your
fault and you did something wrong even thought you never met this person
before. Yeah, how do you think their children are going to grow up? Now, how
about the opposite kind of person? This person when they approach you makes you
want to become their best friend and develop a continual relationship with
them. They are dressed appropriately maybe not in the finest or most expensive
clothes but in the least very presentable clothing for the occasion. Have a
well addressed genuine smile on their face. They approach you with the intent
to get to know who you are by asking questions about you. But what if you come
from the negative family and choose to be the opposite to change your way of
thinking to make the positive effort to be a better person. I guess what I am
trying to get is that I myself haven’t had the best, I was groomed to fail. I
learned to fall in line and accept my future. My future that didn’t go anywhere
there was no way up, my future that taught me that getting 2 weeks paid off for
good behavior is deserved. This all changed for me once I become pregnant and
had my first born child. I wanted more than a few hours of my day with him. I
hated the thought of having someone else raise my child. I started to make some
changes in my life. My husband had started a home based business before I was pregnant things got serious when I was 6
months pregnant. At the time I didn’t think we could take on anymore. I thought
our plate was overfilled with necessities how we could possibly afford one more
thing. My mindset started to change when I saw my husband change he was continuing to take
the products our company provided and he started to drop weight and I mean big
time weight! The first 5 days he lost 12lbs over the course of the next year he
had lost 105 lbs. I began to think to myself in order for him to be successful I
also needed to get on board. I had been using the products and felt a tremendous
change. I had just lacked one thing my way of thinking. I was still used to thinking negative. I would
say this is too good to be true. Even though the money from our business was
coming in monthly and allowing me to continue to stay home with my son. I still
had to fix myself thinking. I reached out and our mentor she told me I needed to
check out a woman named Dani Johnson. I started to listen to her story and free
online information. Let’s just say I’m glad I did! I learned what I’m doing
wrong and starting to change that! It’s called personal development. I began to
learn how to dream once more! I have learned to change my negative thinking to
a positive. I’m truly amazed with how much I have learned and how much my life
has changed in just reading her free book and listening to her online conference
calls. This is what I was missing in my life. I learned to know what it feels
like to truly forgive people whom have hurt you in your past. “It is never
circumstances that determine success in life; it is what you do with your
circumstances that determines success in life”-Dani Johnson.
