Take the Lid off Your Jar

Take the Lid Off Your Jar

Are you letting other people dictate how high you can jump by placing a lid on your jar? Have you swept your dreams under the rug? Are you just getting through the day… through the week… just to get by?

Then take the lid off.

We’re all destined for greatness, our own greatness. You have to STOP listening and doing what other people think you can and should do, and you have to start believing in yourself. You had dreams at one time, I know that for a fact. But life gets hard and sometimes, all too often, we listen to the wrong people and let them dictate what we can and can’t do. Then we bring our expectations down to their level, and that level isn’t all that high.

I challenge you to start dreaming again. It’s never too late to be what you could’ve been. Steve Harvey gives a great example in this short video clip.

Don’t Take YOUR Dreams to the Graveyard

What are you doing to make your dreams come true?

I’m talking about YOU and YOU alone. Because everyone has dreams, but it’s going to be up to you to make those dreams come true. And if you don’t make them come true, you’re going to spend your life, 86,400 seconds per day, doing something you don’t like, making someone else’s dreams come true.

You have an idea, an invention, a new technique, or something inside of you that would change your life. That will change and improve the lives of others.

It’s up to you to make it happen. Do it. And do it now.

Don’t Take Your Dreams to the Graveyard

This is How Incredibly Successful People THINK

Do you have a dream?

Of course you do. So what’s holding you back?

You may not like the answer, but the answer might be you.

A lot of people come up with ideas and have NO IDEA how they’re going to follow through and make it happen. Thomas Edison claims to have made around 10,000 attempts before getting the light-bulb to work.

Successful people look at ideas and challenges differently. After the initial idea, they set out to make it happen. They’re determined to figure it out.

A lot of people want to learn how to make money on the internet, but have no idea how to build a list or build a website or anything technical. Someone that’s going to be successful at making money on the internet is going to figure out and learn how to do it. Whereas someone that’s going to fail at this, and probably everything else they don’t know how to do right away, is going to look at the problem and just give up. Because they convince themselves that it’s too hard and they’re not smart enough.

That’s not true.

No one is an overnight success. No one.

If you’re going to become someone different or do something you’ve never done, you’re going to have to do something you’ve never done. This relates to relationships, business, parenting, fitness and many other things in life.

Don’t shy away from change.

It’s too easy to get ‘comfortable’ and watch life pass you by. But it’s really not that comfortable because it’s not who or what you want to be or do. It’s called the ‘comfort zone’ because people get in a zone and stay there. Even though they don’t like it, it feels safe to them and it’s what they know. It’s all they know for some people. But you had to learn what you learned to get you where you’re at. So if you want to become more successful you’re going to have to learn whatever that is that’s going to get you where you want to go.

It’s that simple.

It’s not easy.

There’s NO SHORT CUTS.

Start doing and/or learning what you need to, or accept where you’re at right now. Because life doesn’t just get better because you wish it so.
