One of my favorite mottos in life is based on the fact that our success is greatly dependent upon our intentional actions towards obtaining them. You will get absolutely no where without stepping forward; one step at a time, and putting your full self; 100%, into whatever your goals are. Be it a degree, a job, a relationship, or whatever, along with God’s purpose for your life, you MUST be the change agent in your own life. You don’t ‘happen up on‘ your goals. If you’ve ever achieved any of your goals, and I’m sure you’ve achieved some, you were intentional about obtaining them. You, in a sense, introduced yourself to what your intent was. That last job you had, you set your eye on it; you prepared; you earned a degree; you networked; you worked hard; you stayed positive and in essence you began the introduction to your success. In case you’ve found yourself in a rut or maybe began to ask the questions on where or how you’ll get to your next phase in life, more importantly, get to it successfully, start today by introducing yourself to you again. Introduce yourself to that job; relationship; house; family; degree. Be intentional and know that it won’t just fall into your lap. Literally say, ‘Hi, my name is ____________ and I’m going to achieve said goal!’ It’s yours for the taking!
“You can’t stumble upon greatness; you have to intentionally walk up to it and introduce yourself.”
Now days you have to love what media of all types offers us as a society. Almost instantaneously we learn of what may be happening hundreds, thousands, and even millions of miles away from us at any given time. What is amazing, however, is that most media, whether it be a news outlet or social media, the majority of what we are made aware of is everything from negative to negative. True enough, every now and again, they will strive to bring ‘good news’ to us; maybe one or two stories per day, but it’s clearly overshadowed by all the negated things that are happening.
