Help Yourself

On a day to day basis I hear so many excuses about why someone is in the situation that they are in. Life can be frustrating. Granted, I do know that their are some circumstances that people have no control over. Like an unexpected death or illness that may have came up. Often times children are affected by these situations and can do little to nothing about it.

As for healthy fully functional adults you can do something about your situation! The problem is do you want to do the extra work that it takes to take it to the next level. Lets be honest, a lot of people do not want to put in an additional 20 hours a week to build anything. Many people see those additional hours as time to sleep.


However, if the bills are not getting paid on time or you simply want a different lifestyle then the only thing is stopping you is YOU!

There are people in worse situations than you are and they were able to rise above and make a name for themselves and they were able to be of service to their community and family!
For instance, I came across this story on Oprah about a young woman named Khadijah Williams who was homeless the majority of her childhood life. Her mother and her traveled around to different shelters and slept in Skid Row in California. They had no place to call home. However, Khadijah did not let her childhood shape her mentality or cap her earning potential. How did she do this? She spent countless hours at the library and earned herself a FULL ride to Harvard University! America is one of the few places that you can do this!!

How many people would have and have been defeated by their circumstances? MANY!! The fact is that you have everything that you need. If you think that you don't you are lying to yourself!! There are public libraries, non-profit organizations, hell you can go read at Half-Price Books or Barnes and Noble!
You have to be willing to get nos, fail, and succeed. Habits are the results of success and failure.
Read it, Learn it, and implement it!  There is no excuse.. What are you going to do?
