Emotions & Achieving

There are things in your life you will do that no one will understand the reasoning. Even if you try to explain your motives, most people will still not understand. These people usually talk out of fear and say things like that is never going to make you money, get a job. Some of those people will be your own family, people who you love. Now that is tough... People who tell you can't do it and those are the same people you are doing it for. 

To be able to deal with people who shoot you down as you're trying to shoot your way up, takes a certain type of human being. Not just in real estate but in anything you choose to do, it's going to be hard. For a lot of people this is what makes most people fail because they feel like they have no support. 

Let me tell you something the more you ground yourself in achieving your goals the harder it will be to knock you down. Now there will be some sharp axes that will keep chopping you till your at the point your about to fall. In most cases you will fall. At this point you need to ask yourself if you are going to stay down where its easy or do you want to get back up and attack your dream harder than you have ever gone after it before? Build up your foundation 10 times bigger than you had it. Forgive those who don't understand the future you are creating. It doesn't matter what anyone told you before, what matters is what you tell yourself today. What are you going to tell yourself to do today, that will push you to achieve what you want tomorrow? 

You need to have major faith moving forward. It's not easy to pursue your dreams, if it was easy everyone would be living their dreams. You will never have what you want to have, you will never be what you want to be until you decide your tired of living average and you want to be phenomenal. You can not give up, just because you tried it for a month or a year or decades I DONT CARE, you CAN NOT GIVE UP. Time is not on your side, if you don't decide to take action everyday on your dreams then don't expect the same results as the person who does.
