From the day we were born we all were already given the tools to thrive and become successful, the shift and change was present when limitations and traditional expectations were placed on us. We learn what is the right way or the wrong way but what if we erase that way of thinking and focus on operating at our best level living in the present moments and learning something new each day. The world does not revolve around our emotions or our excuses, the moment we begin to release our need to control what is wrong or right and how everyone else is operating the more energy we must invest in growth. The time spent in each day focusing on all that does not work, the excuse of not having enough time and lastly the idea of luck. There is no such thing as luck no one is happy because luck fell in their favor, no one is successful because luck was working for them. The people that are happy and successful are happy and successful because they decided to choose happiness and made a conscious effort to work for their success. For most they believe that working hard is the answer while there are a lot of hard workers in the world, but few have time to enjoy the fruits of their labor and have something to show for by working smarter.

How do you work smarter? The best way to work smarter is by educating yourself it is never what you know that hurts you it is what you don’t know that will. Everyone can elevate their minds the problem is not many are willing to take the first step to be proactive about their life. Most people are often in the business of wanting something of value for free, everything in life has a fee and you get what you pay for. The thing that affects most people is they view everything as cost without ever seeing value, anything in life worth having comes with a price. The price you pay is in the choices you make you can choose to add value in your life or choose to have little   and continue to blame everyone for the results in your life. As a child it is our parent’s responsible to teach and guide us the best way, they knew how but as an adult our life is now our responsibility to learn and grow, it is impossible to know it all or expect change with the same old habits and thinking. New thoughts create new habits and new habits produces new results, the idea of new is scary yes and unfamiliar grounds for most but taking the risk to make a choice to educate ourselves and execute a plan of action.  There is no such thing as being over educated or knowing it all life is always that much more rewarding when we remain a humble but driven student of life.

They say the best things life are free, I believe the best things in life are priceless and valuable and they require us to work to achieve them, you cannot buy happiness, but it will cost you your old life and way of thinking to be happy. The moment we learn to shift our minds and get rid of the blue prints in our life of what our life should be like the. That is the moment we can begin to create what God has in store for us learning to do things not because you should but because you must, eliminating back up plans and safety nets and you will see just how much you can do. When we were kids our parents is who we looked to for answers and protection as adults I encourage everyone to grow in faith and trust that if it is for you God will show up when it matters most.  You are responsible for your attitude and your beliefs about life you can either plant good seeds of faith or plant bad seeds of fear, worry, and negativity, the ball is on your hands let’s find our balance dribble through the obstacles and take a shot. you will never know if it will work until you try it and stop fearing the unknown and be more aware of what not knowing could cost us.  Take what you do know apply what’s needed and take steps into a new direction to learn new and effective habits that enhances your life.
