HAVE YOU FOUND YOURSELF

One of the biggest challenges of our generation is knowing what our purpose is and how to achieve our dreams.   I have seen other people who do not have a clear path of what they would do if they won a million dollars. People who procrastinate and are always anxious because they are not sure of the future. One day you are excited about this new idea you’re pursuing and the next day you’re not sure if it is what you want.  Your life goes in phases that come and end as fast as a flame on a matchstick.

THNGS I WOULD TELL MYSELF IF I WAS 18 AGAIN

This morning I was reading a book as I was javing to work today   “rich dad poor dad my favorite books of all time So I started thinking about my life, some of the things I have   done and those I wish I knew earlier, and I began imagining all of the things I wish someone had told me when I was 18. Then I took it a step further and thought about all the things I would love to tell myself if I could travel back in time to give my 18-year-old self some advice about life. So after a couple of hours of deliberation, here are 18 things I wish someone told me when I was 18: Commit yourself to making lots of mistakes.   Mistakes teach you important.  The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake.  So don’t hesitate don’t doubt yourself.  In life, it’s rarely about getting a chance; it’s about taking a chance.  You’ll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sur...
