Key to Success is as Easy as Breathing

Everybody wants to be able to be successful. Nobody wants be end up failing in life by not achieving their dreams and aspirations. Most of us know how to reach our goals but don't know where to start. Some of us simply don't have the drive to want to go after what we really want.

How Bad Do You Want It?

This is one of the most famous success story videos on YouTube and it is voiced by Eric Thomas, former Cincinnati Bengal, New York Jet, and Denver Bronco. In the video, he speaks of a man who wished to be successful but didn't know how. So he thought he could find a solution by going to a guru. From experiencing the teaching of the Guru, the man realized what it takes in order to be successful.

The message: When you want to succeed, as much as you want to breathe, then you will be successful. In order for you to build up the strength, the motivation, the drive to be successful in your life, you must want it more than life itself. You must place every single molecule of you into what you love to do because what you want to achieve can only be accomplished by having 100% passion for it. 

When you look at people who are experts at what they do, it didn't happen over night. It took them years to get to where they are at. It took them a million more failures than wins and they know how it feels to be knocked down to the point where they want to absolutely quit.

But they didn't quit. Those people who are considered the greatest didn't quit when those times popped up. Those times where it felt like there wasn't a way out, they found a way. That is the only way to succeed. You must have an absolute passion for what you do that you disregard the pitfalls and complete failures.

If you want to succeed, you must want it as bad as if you were on your last breath of air.You fight your hardest to breathe. You want to be able to take that breath so you can live on. Keep going for that breathe in your life and keep moving forward while never looking back. Learn from your mistakes and take them as opportunities to improve brilliantly! You have what it takes! Good luck!

Blood is Thicker than Water

The Rents

All human beings, except ones made in labs(sorry), all come from two people, a mother and a father. Our birth givers,  our caretakers, and our first teachers. We are who we are because we built a foundation off of what our parents taught us. Even if that foundation was built by a tough relationship, it is still what makes you who you are.

But unfortunately, not all human beings are able to fully grow with their mother and father in their lives. Many children go through divorce, unexpected separation, and even death of their parents to live their rest of their lives on their own or with one parent. It is a sad reality but its a reality which we have to accept. So next time you say you hate your parents, or you never want to speak to them again, think about what they do for you.

First and most importantly, they let you live. They let you be able to breathe, to be able to see, to be able to do any of the things you have done in your life because many parents, unfortunately, get abortions, or kill their unborn babies through third party means. So really think about that. Think about you not being born.

Secondly, they feed you, bath you, give you access to water, put a roof over your head, and put clothes on your back. Even if they've only done this for a short period in your life, they still did when you were a child. They had to deal with the thick and  thin of your childhood and they did that out of love, compassion, and understanding of you.

Lastly, they teach you what you need to know to live in this world. It may not start off as so, but they teach you based off of their life experiences. They teach you right from wrong. They teach you how to treat people. They teach you that life is rough and you must always find a way. They teach you everything you will need to know to survive in this world.

The sad thing is, some children who grow into into their adult years don't realize these lessons until its too late to say thank you. They wait until the day their parents are completely out of their life to finally say thank you for all their parents have done for them. So you know what you should do?

THANK THEM! You don't have to thank them everyday, (it'd be great if you did), but thank them every so often as a reminder to them and yourself on how much they really mean to you and how much you mean to them. Your parents will not always be there and that is for certain. So make their time on this planet worthwhile with the love from their children.
