Life Lesson

If I asked a thousand people what is the best time in their life? they would all say it’s before they hit puberty, or shortly after they are born… But it doesn’t matter if you were born before or after, what matters the most is knowing how to make the most of your life. This world we live in has many opportunities and choices for us. Before deciding to work towards what my goals are, I knew that one thing in my life I would have to do before reaching those goals is choose to change my way of thinking. As a young child who was growing up in a working-class family, my parents had to be very cautious with me because my siblings also enjoyed making money by playing video games and watching cartoons. They needed to instill good habits, so when I saw someone else earning money on YouTube while mine was trying to survive on $6 a week at McDonalds, I realized how much money my parents could waste just on useless things. It made me take notice of how others were spending their money instead of working towards something meaningful in life and that realization eventually led me to decide to go into business. After years of hard work, I am now able to make enough money on my own to pay off debt and move out on my own by going full-time into the real estate industry. My goal is to grow my real estate career and enjoy what I get from this job to support my family. I think even though some people work really hard, some people work harder than us, but none of them are rewarded for their hard work and effort. We are not being rewarded for our hard work because they get paid for what they did not accomplish. The point is, when you keep pushing your limits and strive towards higher levels and better results, you can reach your dreams in life. Once you get there, there will still be tasks, plans, and responsibilities that were left behind and we can complete those later. Life teaches us many lessons, and we can pick up the pieces of ones we did not get along well with. By learning from these mistakes, we can build up to become better humans in the future. So, what do you have to do to make yourself successful? First, decide if you are willing to change things around your life and give yourself a chance to grow, try new concepts, and have a little more freedom as well. Doing all these things will help you become better and a better version of yourself. Also, find ways to improve your skills as an employee to work towards something bigger in life so that everything is easy. Making a lot of money will only benefit you in the long run and will help solve the problem of having other family members and friends struggle. Be kind to everyone on the planet, people around you, and always give them space to be unique and express themselves. Treat them equally and do not focus on where you are placed in life. Everyone deserves respect and treats them right as they see fit. You can start from anywhere, whether it is your home or a friend's house. When you meet a person or get to know them, listen to them and try and figure out everything you can about them and how they think and act. What can you say to them that has been said many times already that is completely wrong? Even though they may have started saying these things, you will be surprised at what they actually mean to you. And once you get a hold of their minds, you will understand them better, but at the same time, there are still some lessons for you. Most importantly, always remember love is the key to success in life. Once you master this simple concept, you will be happy and satisfied all the time. Just be careful though, if you let your emotions become too strong, then it is easy to destroy your chances and chances of success too. Always have faith that you will succeed, because even the lowest of failures can lead you to greatness, especially if you persevere through it. Never ever let anything stop you from doing what makes you happy, or not giving up your goals for whatever reason. If you are unsure of what it means to be successful in life, then read books, watch videos, and research to find more information that will push you to achieve what you want. Make sure every action you take is working and do not worry too much about the outcome. Focus on the process, not on the result, and never give up, no matter how bad things can seem. Acknowledging your feelings as valid points and acknowledging everything that goes on around you are vital parts of achieving success. People can never judge you on how you look unless they are trying to judge you on something you did not do. My advice is, if it feels like you are trying too hard to do something, then do it anyway. Believe in yourself and don’t believe that success can only happen when there is nobody here beside you. All the things that happen in life and outside of this world cannot define who you are, no matter how hard you try to deny them. No one can tell you that you can only become great if you win in basketball, and that if you put on a pair of sneakers and play football, you are destined to be the next LeBron James because you might lose against him, but if you are committed and focused on playing all three sports at the highest level, then there is nothing stopping you. Stop focusing on what others think about your life and start appreciating everything that is happening around you. Get on top of your head daily and start building relationships based off of trust and communication. Do not forget that good relationships are built not only on friendship, but on emotional connections as well. Good relationships can help prevent heartache in life, so take initiative to start practicing self-love and empathy, and try not to hurt other people or yourself over time too. Learn from those around you because even if you fail, someone else might succeed by seeing that person succeed. Think positively and try your hardest as much as possible. Don't compare yourself to anyone else and know that nobody wins. To conclude my article on why I chose to make a decision to become a successful entrepreneur and open a small business, I have learned many valuable things since starting my business. One thing I would recommend to anybody just entering the business sphere is to work hard. Never give up or lose hope. Keep learning, taking courses, etc, because nobody knows everything and sometimes you will hear or see somebody better than you. In the beginning of my journey to become independent, I did not believe in myself and did not think about myself enough to realize that there are many options in life and how to obtain or reach something big and important, but no matter which route I took, I always wanted to make it to my desired destination. Nobody knows exactly what you will get to until you go out and chase it. That mindset is a good mentality to adopt and follow. Once you set your mind right and focus on achieving your goals, you will receive your reward in abundance because nobody wants your money.
