Determination Helped Carry Me Through
Have you ever thought to yourself about how badly you wanted something, and what you were willing to do to achieve it? Would you let anyone, or anything stop you? Well, I don't know what you desire out of life, what your goals might be, or what you are really passionate about, but for me my goal is to be financially free where I can live a comfortable live, where I don't have to worry about money, and most importantly where I am in a position where I can help others out financially to the point that I don't have to even think about if I have the money or not. That is what I am striving for and what I desire to attain in this life. I believe that getting to that point where I can help many people out and not just bless them with some money, but also teach them how they can be in my position also is all part of my purpose here in this life.
With that being said, I look back on my journey and all the obstacles I had to push through, the lessons I had to learn, and all the money I had to spend. And it makes me think of the thing that kept driving me, and pushing me while I went through every situation. Some were easy, some took a long time, and most were hard.
Sometimes I would here people say, I would never be able to do that, or I could never be that good, or don't waste your time with those dreams you should just get a good union job and you will be set for life, but no matter what I kept pushing through. And the funny thing is that most of them were not really doing better than me at the time, they just happen to be doing it longer. So, I never really believed what they would say because I was not able to see any success in their lives with what they were trying to tell me to do.
Determination that was and still is one of the greatest keys for me achieving the success that I am starting to receive. It was a burning desire inside of me that would not listen to those who criticized me, my decisions, my way of thinking, and my desire to actually achieve my goals. Many times it was from those closest to me (including my family, friends, and co-workers). I do have to take a quick timeout and note that I did have the support of both my parents even at times when they didn't fully understand what I was doing and why.
Time In: back to my determination. I was always surrounded by nay-sayers who would always try to shut me down, but I wouldn't let any of their negativity get in my way because I was determined to find someone who could teach me all the things that I needed to know to achieve my goals, and I hope that you don't let anyone get in your way with their negativity to stop you from achieving your goals because if you do it will just show you how undetermined you really are.
So, I challenge you to stand by your dreams, goals, desires, and passions. to be determined to achieve them and fulfill your purpose. Let that burning desire burn hotter than ever before and don't let anyone put it out. If they don't want to achieve their goals that is fine let them be, but don't let anyone stop your determination from achieving yours.

I really enjoyed your blog. It made me think about my journey to becoming financially free, because I'm writing a book "Networking You To Success" that will be available in December 09 I also want to help people accomplish their goals too. So keep up the good work.

I'm a firm believer in not letting negativity moxie keep me from ascertaining my goals. I try to surround myself around positive people whose goals are in-line with my own.
