You don't get what you want in life. You get who you are.
Go after what you want as if your life depended on it. Because it Does!
Ask for help. Not because you are weak. But because you want to remain strong.
If you want to keep getting what you're getting, keep doing what you're doing.
You can determine what your future holds based on how much time and energy you spend working on yourself now. Find out what it is you want, and go after it as if your life depends on it. Why? Because it does,
Life is a fight for territory and once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over.
WANT shows up in conversation - EXPECTATION shows up in behavior.
No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.
Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.
