In this life we need to give ourselves every opportunity that we can to live and lead a fulfilling, generous life. This means to live life to our potential. We blame our parents and circumstances if we do not achieve our goals but this is wrong and we can reach our dreams by becoming focused on what we want and working towards getting it. Sure it starts off as a dream but so do all achievements. That’s just the way it is and sometimes we go about things the wrong way, it’s a learning curve, and the only time you truly ever fail is when you give up on yourself! It is not a dream but a reality if we really want it and apply our efforts towards getting what we want.
Knowledge is the greatest thing and how we use the knowledge we acquire will have an impact on our success. How we define success is another aspect in creating our dream life. Living in this ‘free’ world, namely a capitalist society, we have opportunity to be, who ever it is that we choose to be and we can decide how we wish to achieve that dream. It is the ultimate dream and opportunity. We are so lucky!
We have the opportunity to get an education through the public school system and we learn many skills such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, socializing and numerous other activities. These can be in the arena of sporting achievements or skills based achievements. The awards and recognition in this arena can have an impact on your success or not, that depends on where you take it. You may not have thought it necessary to participate at this level and went straight into a job or career. It does not matter when you start applying yourself to dream goals but the importance of recognizing that you have them and what they are is definitely of value at any stage.
Always applaud yourself on your achievements because you have done something that you wanted and it was worth your time and effort. Try not to evaluate your success on somebody else’s value but ascertain the value from your own worth. What it has meant to you, is what is important. There will always be some one who is better and some one who is worse off than you.
