Too many times, we as people do not think that we are capable of succeeding. Success is a mindset, and it is up to every person to define what success is for them in their lives. What stops us from achieving our success is the weight that we carry in our minds. As we fight to define our purpose, we lock ourselves into boxes because we are afraid of the backlash that we will receive from others (close to us) or we don't think that we deserve better because of the results of our decisions. We don't realize it, but our closest people put us in a box and if we try to move outside that box, we are told that we have changed. If you are fighting to change, the issue is not you. The issue lies with those that are trying to keep you in the box that they put you in and we mentally feel that we are to keep others happy with their view or vision of you. It is up to each and every one of us to strive to be the best that we can be and create the personal happiness that we deserve. Take the time to invest in yourself and see yourself overcoming your personal obstacles and challenges. Your growth and change starts and ends with you and how you see yourself. Either you are fighting to make the changes required or you are looking at yourself trying to explain or complain why you are unwilling to grow. Life is all about growth and elevation. Get up every day with a desire to fight and win!! Elevate, Evolve, Grow, Uplift and Challenge yourself Everyday!!
