"If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep"..Great advice. I don't know who said it, but I read it somewhere, and it makes a lot of sense. In our world today, it seems like a lot of people don't want to put out much effort to become better, learn more or work hard to achieve more, and yet they want what others have. They want to do the least to get the most. They feel entitled. What they fail to acknowledge or understand, is that the people who have achieved more and are more successful, have gotten there by hard work.
For example...Having the government pay for college loans may sound like a good thing, BUT what about the ones who went to college and paid their loans. They either worked two or three jobs to pay the debts or their parents paid their tuition. Is that fair to them? Or what about the ones who due to certain life circumstances or other priorities they had to deal with, never got to go to college, although they really wanted to. What do they get? Are they supposed to wine and complain and demand compensation from the government?
America is still the land where dreams can come true, and the land of opportunities, regardless of what some people would like you to believe. Why do you think so many want to even risk their lives to come here, if this country is so bad. How many americans try to get to other countries? Not too many. There are countless opportunities, if we only look for them and search to find them. Are you missing the target because you are not working hard enough? and if so why aren't you? Have you put limitations on yourself? Are you the limitations others have placed on you?
Who you think you are can make all the difference . YOU and you alone can put limitations on yourself, and believe the lies you have been told. Sometimes negative comments may come from well meaning people, such as teachers, friends and family members.
Just remenber: Opportunities are never lost.....someone else will take the ones you miss....Don't waste your time. Time is something we cannot recycle, so be wise on how you spend your time. Be productive, keep learning and educating yourself, and when the time is right your dreams will come true. Preparation always meets opportunity. When opportunity knocks, you must be ready! Take one step at a time, and you will reach your destination. However, you have to take action. You cannot oversleep and expect success. Successful people and high achievers have worked very hard. They are never overnight successes, although at times it may appear that way to us.
Have a blessed rest of the week...
