The Desire To Succeed

      With success, comes desire to be successful.  That doesn't exactly make sense until you understand the context.  Think about this;  you are walking out of the local Starbucks and you happen to see a brand new BMW parked next to your very own mediocre car.  It is an awesome vehicle and its reputation follows right along with that of a successful business person.  The ideas are tied together and it is hard to imagine one without the other.  As you look over this car, you feel the need burning inside you.  This is the car that you want to drive when you make it big.  "When" u make it big.  That statement rings in your mind for the next 20 minutes and then fades into the abyss.  The goal of success fades as well and life resumes its normal routine once again. 
     Each day people find themselves in this situation.  There isn't a single one of us that has wished for success in one form or another.  Whether it is financial freedom, job freedom, or the ability to live as you choose instead of how your boss says, the idea of success carries many dreams and wishes.  Those dreams and wishes are often left in the darkness because of the lack of belief in ourselves and our abilities.  We have been told that if we work hard for whatever company we end up in, we can advance within that business.  It's the only way to reach the top.  That's the mindset that destroys the dreams that we hold most dear.
     Traditional jobs are done.  The economy is failing and the job market has dried up.  The chance to advance within your chosen field has flown out the window, leaving only the hope that one day it will return. Fear follows in that chain of events as well.  We begin to fear the loss of our livelihood and it keeps up working harder for less pay.  We choose to sit and suffer in silence instead of speaking up and striking out on our own.  The unknown world seems so big and unforgiving and there is no way that we could survive out there on our own with no job.  Or is there?  What options are you left with?
     Fear and hope hold us in an unforgiving grip until we decide to break fingers and get loose.  We are filled with thoughts of "I can't" and "I wish" instead of "I can" and "I'm going to".  You will never be truly free until you cut through the chains of fear and hope with a hot torch so that you may pursue your own interests.  There are literally hundreds of ways to do that, but for myself, I have chosen to pursue Vemma.  There is nothing like the products, and there is nothing like the team that is built from positivity and dedication to each other.  It is my jump off point for my future.  What will be yours?  Choose wisely.
