Know Thyself - Secrets To Success In Life & Business (ePub)

Believe! Believe in yourself. You are in the driver's seat of your life and the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. No one is going to save you but you. Meditate, pray, light candles, but you must put the action in place so the universe can reflect your thoughts back to Earth. You're parents weren't in your life, you weren't taught financial literacy, so what! " He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right. (Confucius)  In today's age of information you have no excuse not to be self-taught. Write down small goals, and long –term goals. Aim for astronomical dreams, the type of goals where people call you crazy. You're crazy just for trying. You're crazy for missing sleep, for missing all the club parties. Let them think you're crazy while you outwork them. Grind even when the dream is cloudy. Even if it rains, eventually the sun will rise once again. The universe is pitch black, but the stars still shine. Stay away from toxic and negative people. These are called vampires of dreams. They will do everything in their power to stop you. I fell asleep and drove off a bridge in an 18-wheeler. Landed on the tracks and was hit by the train. I ended up breaking my back on crutches for two years. But I still did not give up! Sometimes our goals will take five years or even ten years. But eventually your dreams will become a reality. Success is like the most potent drug on earth. I want to be successful so bad I can literally taste the stars! A job is just over broke, I'm not comfortable working for someone else, I'm not comfortable clocking in for someone else. It's a mindset; whatever's inside you must push you to become the "Master of Thyself". "Man, know thyself, and you are going to know the gods". Egyptian Proverb. Do the people you associate with bring you down or lift you up? Success will not come without a fight. You will only achieve your dream through scars and scratches. You should be willing to sacrifice your comfort zone; as you can imagine, that is not pleasurable. Keep going, endure the pain; pain changes people but it doesn't have to make negative changes on your life forever. 

"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. 

Eric Thomas
