Break the limits

Most people think that the limit they have comes from outside. But they come from them. What you think you can do, is the limit to what you can do.

“Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”

- Mary Kay Ash

You have the key to your success. You have the power to achieve your dream.

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

- Napoleon Hill

What ever happens outside, you have the choice on how you react to it. How you react is you’re most powerful key to impose your will on what will come next.

Your limit is not what happens outside; it’s how you react to it.

Success is never about luck. It’s all about doing what you think is best. Taking action is always the best way. Sometimes you choose the wrong things, but it should never stop you. Adjust and keep going on.

Forgive and move on

You can’t change the past. You can’t change what did happen. You can only change how you choose to react to it right now.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

 - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Forgiveness is not for others, it’s for you. It will liberate you from the burden of hate that is gripping your heart.

Forgiving is clearing the negative energy poisoning your life. That poison will drag you down if you keep drinking from it.

“When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.”

 - Bernard Meltzer

Forgiving is not for the week. It takes a lot of courage to forgive and move on.

“You can't forgive without loving. And I don't mean sentimentality. I don't mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, 'I forgive. I'm finished with it'.”

 - Maya Angelou

You just can do your best right now.

“Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.”

 - Les Brown

“Forgiveness means letting go of the past.”

 - Gerald Jampolsky

Creativity without fear

How many good ideas have you left uncreated?

How many times have you left someone else earned a lot of money with a product that you thought wasn't good enough for the market?

The reality is that you were afraid. What ever you choose to justify not taking action, it is all come down to being afraid.

How can we learn to go over our fear so we can be as successful as we should be?

-         The first thing to do is to acknowledge there’s a fear involve. If you don’t acknowledge your fears, you can’t work on them

-         The second thing is to identify the fear. Don’t skip this step.

-         The third thing is to understand why you have that fear. You need to understand the root of that fear. This is one of the hardest parts. On top of that fear, there’s a lot of justification that has been put there. For most of us, justifications are seen as good. But, when we think about it, we can understand that they’re just tools to not taking action and face our fear.

-         The last thing is to face your fear. Among all these steps, this is the hardest one. Look at all the people that are successful, they all do what most won’t. If you want to be among them, you’ll have to face your fear.

 This is not a miracle process! The stronger the fear, the harder it will be to overcome them. You could be in need of the help of someone else to take care of them.

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

 - Pablo Picasso

Take action to get out of the fear zone. It’s better to start and work on it then to put it on the side for another day. Taking action now will make all the difference in the end.

“To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off postpone.”

 - David Joseph Schwartz

Blog story!

Having a blog is not a walk in the park. You have to be ready to give more then just a piece of yourself. Having a blog is being ready to open your heart and put it into words.

“Never give up. And most importantly, be true to yourself. Write from your heart, in your own voice, and about what you believe in.”

 - Louise Brown

Don’t treat your blog as an advertising platform. It can provide advertising, but it must have content before you put any ads in there. With a blog, content isn't about fact, it’s about the words that you wrote. Yes, it’s simple, wrote what you think about. Put your soul in each and every post.

“I think there's plenty of room for blogs that exist to pay the blogger, or blogs that exist to turn a profit. That's just not the kind of blog I'm writing, and I'm not the kind of blogger that could do that.”

 - Seth Godin

Earning from a blog can be done, but if you write a blog to earn a living then you’ll have to find a way to be creative and promote it all around. You have to become a reference in what you write and talk about.

“I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.”

 - Steve Ballmer

When you want to get a pulse on a subject, you have to take in as many sources as you can about it. Representative or not, each blog talking about the subject you’re interested in can bring you useful information.

Myself, I like to write timeless info. I like to write without any time label. I like to write without any direct link to what is happening in the world at that moment. I like to write about a subject in a way that would be interesting in 5 or 10 years from the moment of post.

No one can become successful with a boring blog. You have to deliver good stuff if you ever want to have any success with your blog. You can fool people with one or two post, but in the long term you’ll have to prove your creativity. Don’t believe that you can hide behind some pre-created post and build an audience.

Build your blog with your own stuff. Don’t pay someone else to write your post.
