I remember almost 10 years ago, all I desired was to finish
my education and get a good paying job. Like the majority I thought that’s what
people did, work a steady 9-5, take a vacation once a year and look forward to
retiring with benefits.
Now, please don’t miss understand me there isn’t anything
wrong with working a 9-5 job; if you are using it as a stepping stone to a greater
place. I believe we all have the ability to become great at whatever we desire
to do. I once heard a man said “greatness is a choice not your destiny”- Les Brown. I
totally agree, I was once one of those people who secretly desired greater; but
thought greatness wasn’t in my reach. I would oftentimes tell myself that there
is more to life then working to fulfill another person dreams. But truth be
told, successful people were not in my circle. I didn’t know any successful
entrepreneurs, authors, attorney, doctors or world changers. My environment was
filled with hard working people that lived from pay check to pay check. Nevertheless,
it never occurred to me that maybe one day I could own and operate my own
business, write a best seller, empower millions and travel the world as a
philanthropist. Now, 10 years later I am glad I never silenced that inner voice
that oftentimes reminded me of greater. I recently discovered in the last
couple of years that there is more within me than I thought.
A treasure chest full of untapped potential
and dreams that I didn’t know existed. Ideas, desires, dreams, and most
importantly a vision; waiting for me to discover them. All I had to do was first
believe in myself, develop the skills, and the knowledge needed to accommodate my
discovery. Although, it may seem like a
three step process it really isn’t. Believing in yourself takes a trunk load of
courage and not to mention, developing the skills and knowledge needed for
the task. But I can assure you its all worth it, in the end. Discovering
what’s in you will cost you something. For example, pain produces life. When a
woman is with child she is carrying life within her. In order for what’s in her
to come out she has to experience discomfort, pain and sometimes embarrassment
to give birth to her baby. I believe we all have seeds of greatness within us, waiting to be discovered. Like a pirate seeking buried treasures
beneath the ocean. Do I believe searching for hidden treasure takes sacrifice?
Absolutely! This journey will take a lot of sacrifice, courage, discomfort and even pain
to discover and release what is inside of you.
But don’t give up or give in, you owe it to yourself in spite of fear, lack of finance, support and etc. To achieve your highest goals and pursue your secret dreams. It's time to discover what's in your treasure chest. The road to greatness is never easy, it is filled with pot holes, muddy waters, detours, road closures, and etc. Nevertheless, make the decision to pursue your heart’s desire. You are one decision away from living your dreams and fulfilling your purpose. What’s in you must come out! The world waited for what was in Steve Jobs, Oprah, Mother Teresa, Sara Blakely and the world is waiting for YOU too. The next time you hear that still voice, believe, pursue, overtake, and dominate.
Live your passion; while pursuing your purpose
