Wat's goodie blog world? In my last blog, I touched on belief in one's self being key towards success and I really just wanted to expand that thought...At the end of the day, we are the only individual truly in tune with what we desire in this world and our capabilities so why shouldn't we be our own number one motivator...
We all must realize that the world is built off of superstars and role players, so comparing ourselves to the accomplishments of others defeats the entire purpose of trying. We should never try to match up our accomplishments because at the end of the day some blessings are meant exclusively for ourselves and some are meant for others. You do, however, have to always make sure that your effort measures up to the efforts in all that you do. If you are going to try your best, than what's the point of trying...
Many people can see what you do in this world, but at the end of the day, only God and you know what how much you truly put into a situation. Not giving your all should always hurt much more than failure. It is by trial and error that success is discovered. It is by not trying at all that weakness is revealed. I've said it before and I'll say it again...you'll miss all of the shots you never try, and you'll get better with each shot you attempt as long as you are open to learn...
Beyond learning from our mistakes is the importance of knowing how to separate influences in your life...Positive motivation should be all that you should give yourself and all that you should accept from outsiders. Accept that you may not be the prettiest, most handsome, smartest, most athletic, or richest...but make sure that you are the best YOU that you can be...At the end of the day and at then end of your life, that is all you should be concerned about. Did you do what you could do with all the resources you had and did you give yourself the best chance to make it in this world?...
Never be satisfied with anything in this world but success and growth as an individual. Know that it always in the win that we truly win...a loss can lead to many great revelations...Just make sure your eyes are open to it...

School Daze
Wats goodie blog world? The calendar has turned to August, so it's already time for us college students to get ready to get back into the grind and hustle of classes...Some of us have been waiting for it and some are still dreading each flip of the calendar day...Regardless, it will be here before we all know it, so I just want to offer some quick advice towards making this your best year, thus far...
1. Believe: You must believe from the get go that you can get straight A's this semester. I mean, what's the point of playing the game, if you don't think you are going to win right? Shooting for the stars never hurt anyone; not shooting at all can cause the greatest pain, worry, and concern though because you always have to think "what if". You are in control of your own destiny, so why not go for the best. I don't care if you are taking multibiologicialchemicalsciences on the 400 level, until you see a different grade on your transcript, believe that an A is in line for you. If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else?
2. Try: To often, we quit things before even giving them a chance, thus limiting ourselves from ever reaching our greatest potential. Now there are somethings in this world that are truly destined for some individuals and other things for others, but how can you know what is meant for you, if you don't ever take a chance? Step outside of your comfort box at least once and I guarantee you will grow as a person from it. Growing older is mandatory, growing up is option, so please make sure you take advantage of that option during this key period in your life.
3. Desire: More important than believing we want something and trying to achieve that is the desire to be successful. Often, we enter into situations lifeless and effortless and wonder why we don't reap the fruits we believe should come to us. With each task that is placed in front of us, there should be a certain amount of desire behind our efforts that we can use to press on through tough situations. If we have that certain level of desire, it helps keep a certain level of self motivation within us to drive towards the finish line.
4. Understand: With each situation we face, whether we are successful or we fail miserably, there must be a lesson learned from it. Understanding how and why something happen is key towards progressing in this world as human beings. Not only does knowing our past mistakes help us avoid making them again, but we must also understand all that went into the mistake and recognize the effects of the mistake to use that as positive enforcement towards avoiding the mistake entirely, if and when that situation presents itself again in our lives. Keep a level head in all academic and social situations that you face this year, and you will be a more successful person for it, whether the successful is tangible or not.
I know the world likes to beat you down a lot, but please know that if no one else believes in you, PromoDave does. I want to see you successful just as much as I want to see myself successful. The more success that is in this world, the more positive energy that flows, and the more we can all have something positive to unify ourselves. Be blessed in all your endeavors this year and conquer any and all mountains that you may face.
