"On this day we become legendary, everything we dreamed of,
I'm fly like Malcolm X, by any means necessary"
- Mr. West Good Morning
At the ripe age of 25 I am realizing that I have to make some sacrifices to achieve my dreams of what God has called me to do. Sacrifices include stepping out of my comfort zone, shaking more hands, kissing more babies, becoming more aggressive, more assertive, more cut throat. Its not that these aren't typical character traits that I have, I am learning that I had this in me all along I just needed someone or something to ignite the fire under me to make it happen. It has been a series of events and people in my life believing in my capabilities that has motivated me to press forward. To dream a bigger dream, to work for me. I feel empowered like Malcolm X by any means necessary I will achieve my dreams. I will go back to school to get my MBA. I will start my beauty business. I will purchase a home. I will one day get married start a family. With these sacrifices I am learning how to trust the closest people around me with my ideas. I seldom tell people the name of my business. I seldom tell people I even make my own products. I have even stopped making youtube videos about my loc journey. (more b/c I had computer problems and now camera problems dropped my new camera in the river). I seldom market myself, because I am scared of the additional sacrifices I will have to make to live up to my own potential. As this seven month, my favorite month, of the year comes to an end, the one thing that I have learned about myself in 2010 is that I keep getting in my own way. I first have to be confident in my ability, in order for others to believe in ME. I know that I can run a successful business. I know that I can get a higher score on my GMAT to get into MBA school. I know that I can purchase a home. I know that I can continue to climb the corporate ladder. My fear is failure. But, I must sacrifice, get out of my own way, and step out on faith! Faith without works is dead! On this day I will become legendary!
What have you sacrificed to achieve your dreams?
Keep the Faith!
Until next time,
~E
