A SEAT AT THE TABLE

I be tripping off of people who be tripping off of people because they often imagine themselves to be unequal (or unable) to sit at the table where success is served and greatness has the nerve to place itself. Still, most people would rather clap and clamor over the "stars" because they won't cut the bars that keeps them from reaching their dreams. I understand because I used to do the same thing. But I'm too committed in believing I can get it that I don't have time to admire because I know that I'm destined for higher. That's what I've always tried to convey to my students, to challenge them to be more rooted in themselves. How else do they think Kanye, Lil Wayne and every other name made it to the hall of fame. The same goes for those who aren't caught in the throes of rap with all of its rumors of secret consumers of secret societies. The requirements remain the same. The recipe is the law of reciprocity. Sow diligence and you will reap excellence, eventually.

THE CANVASS

Success is all about valuing ourselves and validating our knowledge, else we will under-accomplish.

Our canvass becomes whatever life hands us. Thus those who can't pant are apt to faint in route or either they will pout because they are without their dream. Even so, it's our responsibility to gain steam and develop strength until we feel ourselves fit for success. In doing so, we grab the brush and experience its hush because others are amazed at our progress. So, we must never stop pushing; but just keep painting on the canvass life hands us until we excel and success dispels failure from our midst. Can you handle this? (www.joelbryant1.com)

GRASPING GREATNESS


Who do you admire? What do you desire? Are you really committed or just wishing to succeed? Do you even know what it takes to achieve? Or do you think that those who made it were lucky, that life somehow wasn’t as rugged for them as it has been for you? So many people see so many images that they are either deceived or they become timid at the thought of working to wrought the success they envision. Even so, you must do today what you can toward your vision without feeling as if you’re in competition. Hence, the benefit of having Destiny’s sense. With this, you are convinced that your labors aren’t in vain though none know your efforts or your name. What matters is your willingness to engage until you accomplish your promise. Everything else will come in time as you work to align yourself accordingly. If it weren’t true I wouldn’t be encouraging you to higher ground because it is here that I found the fabled keys that have interminably teased millions. (Just because I haven’t yet achieved greatness doesn’t mean I’m not making it daily). The same holds for you when you are laboring despite being beleaguered occasionally. Just don’t let anything dull your sense of Destiny.
