#Ambition101

*cues we outchea by Travis Porter*

I'm pretty sure we all have that "dream life". I know for damn sure I do ! Picture this *close your eyes* a nice house for me, my wife and our 2-3 kids, a fancy ass dog and able to take vacations to exotic ass islands with clear waters, great drinks and no worries in life whatsoever. (you can open your eyes now) We all have that dream life that we want. But it seems freaking impossible with all these obstacles in the way right ? WRONG!! You can always live the life you want to live but it's not going to be easy!

It's an old cliche saying, "you have to go thru the rain to appreciate the sunshine". It's true though. We all have to struggle at some point to appreciate the greater things in life.
Believing in yourself and you accomplishing your own dreams is the only thing that can help you get to where you want to be in life. But today, I'm here to give you my 3 keys to being successful in life.

We all know that "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail", but in order to plan you must know what you want to plan for. Maybe you want to be a famous chef or you want to be the teacher to impact kids by the thousands; you must plan to achieve these goals. I live by 3 steps to plan for that help me stay grounded and hopefully they do the same for you. My 3 steps are: 1. Keeping God 1st 2.Staying true to yourself and staying hungry for my goal. The final is the key and that's 3. Remembering you're going to eat.

Hear me out... I'm not the most religious person, but I do believe all my knowledge and wisdom comes from the most high power and I know believing in Him and keeping Him first (if it's in His plan for my life) I will one day be living my dream life. Sometimes it's hard trying to balance reading the bible like we're supposed to, but praying to Him (or whoever you believe in) not only when things are going terribly wrong, but also praying  to Him and thanking him daily for your blessings, will help your dreams come true. I'm a living testimony to that. It was a point in my life where I thought everything and everybody was against me. Then I remembered where all my strength came from and I begin to pray for doors to open up and then my blessings begin to flow.
To this day,  I DAILY, thank God for blessing me with every opportunity, every closed door and every opened door and doors continue to open.
God never turns his back on his people. As long as you know you
can pray and ask him for everything , he will acknowledge every prayer that's for your best interest.

Number 2: Staying true to yourself and staying hungry
It's hard for us to lose sight of who we are and where we stand with our different beliefs, and I believe if you follow your heart and have positive thoughts, positive things will happen. Don't be afraid of breaking away from your "friends" and making the necessary moves it takes to achieve personal happiness. If you begin to grow a passion for something, follow that passion and ask for guidance. Stay hungry and passionate about your goals and don't let the opinions of others, hinder you from receiving your blessings and getting to where you want to be in life.

Lastly, remember that one day you're going to eat. Earlier I stated that "you have to go through the rain to appreciate the sunshine". We've all at one point hade to struggle. But at the end of that struggle, we ended up in a position that we wanted to be in. The struggle is the only way you will appreciate the finer things in life.
I believe you have to know how to live without something, before you can live with it. The struggle you're going through may not make sense now, but it will all make sense in the end. Don't give up your dreams just because they feel impossible to reach. The only way to make it over the hill, is to climb the hill. We all stumble in life, but it's the getting up from the fall that makes us strong as an individual both mentally and spiritually.

In conclusion I say this, just because people don't approve of what you want to do in life, doesn't mean you can't do it. Continue to stand strong and remember the grass is always greener on the other side. As Wale said in ambition, "it's easy to dream a dream, but even harder to live it". The road to success will be a long rough full of dead ends and obstacles, but only the strong survive.

Keep God 1st, stay true to yourself and stay hungry and remembering you're going to be good in the long run and I promise you, even the hardest of struggles only lead to a great ending.
