The power of becoming who you are meant to be, lies in your hands. It doesn’t depend on what “they” say about you. It does not depend on what anyone does. It only depends on what you say and do. It does not matter where you are or how many times you have tried and failed. It does not matter how many people have disappointed you. It doesn’t matter who has rejected you, the only thing that matters is not giving up on yourself.
You need to keep believing in your dreams and your ability to turn your dreams into reality. Once you start believing take the crucial step that needs to be taken for you to get to where you need to be. Get up and start fighting for your future. The future that you believe in.
There is Only One Thing You Need to Do to Live the Life You Want
The only thing that guarantees a win in any situation is taking action. If you refuse to act, you will never become who you were meant to be. So, get up and do what you need to do, and believe me, you will win. If you don’t win the first time, give it another shot, and another shot, and another shot.
That is how you gear up for the bright future that is before you. Your future. Because you have a bright future. It may not seem like it now but your future is bright. The problems you are facing and the pain you are going through may make it seem impossible but every set back you face is a setup for a comeback.
Every set back prepares you for the life you want. One wise thinker once said “you can measure how successful you will be by the obstacles you face. The bigger the obstacles, the bigger the success.”
Ensure a Bright Future by Taking the Necessary Steps
Taking action and doing what needs to be done to become the man or woman you were meant to will prepare you for the brilliant future that lays ahead. If you want to be a famous musician, for example, practicing over and over ensures mastery of your craft. It is a great way of perfecting your skill and ensuring you remain ready for that grand opportunity you are hoping for.
On the other hand, failing to practice or giving up on paying more attention to areas that need extra work, will cause you to miss the opportunity when it comes.
A story is told of a young woman who wanted to be a proficient pianist, so she practiced every day. She made sure she never missed a rehearsal. When there were no sessions, she would keep practicing on her own. She continued for years.
One day one of her friendly neighbors was opening a new restaurant and asked her to play. She grabbed the opportunity without hesitating because she knew she was ready for an audience and she did exceptionally well.
New opportunities started rising. She received invitations from different people who had different events around her area and before she knew it, she became an on-demand well-known pianist.
Keep Practicing and Start Positioning Yourself for Success
As you continue preparing yourself for the chance to showcase your skill, start looking for ways of positioning yourself for opportunities- Because opportunities will come! While it is true that opportunities come to every man, it is also true that numerous and great opportunities only come to the one who positions himself for it.
As you continue working hard on becoming the master of your craft, start setting yourself up for success. Some opportunities can only be available to you once you make a visible statement about your capabilities. That means you have to start showing the world what you can do. Start networking with people that you share similar skills with. Stop hiding your work or your talent and start showcasing what you are capable of. In a good way, of course.
Best Ways of Positioning Yourself for Success
- Start networking with the right people. Forming relationships with people that can play a part in helping you achieve your goal will help you see opportunities when they come. The right people will give you a heads-up when the right opportunity comes, just make sure you do the same.
- Showcase your work, skill, or ability. Showcasing your work is a smart way of reaching out to the world and showing the world what you are capable of. The more people see your work or skill the more people you can turn into clients. You can show people your work or talent by performing locally or by uploading your work online. A great way of doing this is by starting a YouTube channel.
