Many a time there are things that get in the way
of our dreams and goals. It could be you don’t
have money, right now, to start a business or buy
a piece of machinery you need. Maybe you can’t
seem to get yourself to study as much as you’d
like to.
Here’s one nugget of truth: for YOU to achieve
your goal, there are THREE simple things YOU
have to do. And here they are…

Ah ha!! Got you where I want you, right?! Jokes
aside, here they are:

1. Be Optimistic
What is optimism? “It is a tendency, disposition or
proclivity to look on the more favourable side of
events or conditions and to expect the most
favourable outcome.” – Dictionary.Reference
No matter what happens, things don’t always go
as planned or as we want them to, and it’s the
way it is. However, you have to keep going! That
is where the optimism lives.

2.Build up your self-esteem and get thicker skin.
To be able to trail new blazes or break new
ground, you need optimism otherwise you’ll be
discouraged as soon as wake up every morning.
Some days are tough, and all you have to fight it
in the end is self because you’re responsible for
your own happiness and success.

3. Don’t Wait For a Big Break
It is often shoved down our throats that we all
have a “day” when we’ll have our big break. It
may seem helpful or even “cool” to say such a
thing, but it really isn’t cool because it creates
some sort of expectation.

4. Don’t look forward to the day you’ll make it
because that will stop or delay you from moving
forward. Now is the right time to make your
move and do what you ought to do. Please.
Stop Complaining

Instead of complaining, assess the problem, find
the solution, and get on the offensive. Be an
offensive player; complaining is playing defence.
Defence is good but it won’t make you a winner.

Bonus: Don’t Fear Failure
Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try
new things. The fear of failure sometimes stops
us from achieving our dreams, becoming who or
what we want to be, starting a new relationship/
course/business/________ (fill in the blank).

If you’re absolutely determined to achieve,
become, start or finish you will overcome
anything to do it. Laugh in the face of fear, and
then do the thing that scares you!
