The major mistake that everybody make is waiting, waiting for someone to pick you up, waiting for the right time, waiting for you to feel motivated and it's not coming, why? Cause the big things are hard and it requires a push. Nobody is coming to save you it's up to you to stand up and work. If you want to change anything in your life stop sitting down wasting your life and start pushing yourself, you've got just one life and you never know when your time is up but I do know that you've got time now to change things, to have a better life so take 100% responsibility for your future. You should decide what you really want your life to look like cause you'll only get one and it's not going to start again but you can start building your future today. See yourself becoming the kind of person that takes action, see yourself believing in your ideas, see yourself disregarding your excuses that it's the source of confidence it is the willingness to try it doesn't start with believe it starts with a push. It is always worth it to do your best and to believe in something and work hard towards the attainment of a goal and if it means you expanding your vision then climb higher and don't look back.

There are times in life we feel like we're going in circles, we're doing the right thing but not making much progress, we don't see anything changing. It's also easy to loose our passion and get discouraged, but one test we all have to pass is being faithful when nothing new is happening. When you're faithful in the routine something is happening that you can't see, your character is being developed. The routine of life is not exciting but necessary, when you are faithful in average days then you see exceptional days but sometimes we get frustrated cause we know we have more in us but we're not seeing it happen, we don't understand why we are not making progress, be faithful in your routine cause what's in the future is going to be more rewarding, more exciting than anything you've imagined, As Michelangelo would say "if people knew how hard I worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all". You're ashame, you can't hold your head up high, you may even have predisposition but that is a long way from actually crafting your ability into the point where it looks like magic and that the beauty cause its so unbelievable that your more willing to believe that its God given talent and they work so hard, but the truth is everyone of the greats no matter how much talent they were born with they are remembered because they worked, cause in that work there is hardship, difficulty, unbearable adversity but its in that diversity that the magic happens. Victor Hugo said" adversity makes men, prosperity makes monsters". If you really want to get hard, tough, great and untouchable because no one can bend or break your vision of yourself then you have to suffer, that's the way of the world, as Florence Nightingale said " I attribute my success to this, I never gave or took any excuse". At the end of the day if you know what you want it's only a question of whether your willing to pay the price to get there, so ask yourself are you willing to pay the price.
We all have opportunities to give up on what we are believing for, walk away from an uncomfortable situation, but if you are going to reach your highest potential you have to stay committed, you cannot be moved by what's not working out, you've got to have a made up mind that you are in it to the end. It may be difficult, don't take the easy way out, stay committed and be a loyal person. On the road to your destiny half way through every person would be tempted to give up, some turn around and go back while the others stay committed and keep moving forward. What's interesting is both people travel the same distance, one goes half way back to where they started the other goes half way ahead and reach their goal. Committed people outlast the difficulty, they go the extra mile and do more than they have to.
