The Answer Key

Do not let what they have to say stop you. Their limitations should not make you bitter, doubtful, or prematurely defeated. Know their words are what they have told themselves time and time again. They are not doubting you,what you can become, who you are or will be, but they are excusing themselves for not acting on the very things they did not have the courage to pursue. The limits they set for you is just them placing you in their own shoes- not the other way around. They do not have the deciding vote in your outcome. They do not get a vote at all. They do not get a say. At the end of the day, when your head hits your pillow all there is is you, and every morning you wake up is packed with opportunities to move you closer to making your vision your reality- that is all. Now, you decide, what you will do today to change your tomorrow no matter what they have to say about it. You are gifted, capable, resilient, and have every right to pursue your own greatness despite who may have fai...

Grow a great appreciation for your gifts, the obstacles, and everything in between. The precious time between teaches you how to fine tune your discernment. It helps you mentally design exactly what you really want and peeks your curiosity enough to learn what getting it requires; a necessary part of your journey that includes multiple levels of understanding, clarity, and often times humility. Be patient, pay attention to the lessons that show up on your journey, and simply be willing to put in the effort required to get, be, and do what you want. Commit. In the end, the only way you can ever fail is if you quit trying. At this point, with all the energy and time you have invested, you are too determined for that. Besides, you know every little effort counts, and based on your past experiences and choices that got you here, you already know that your focus, determination, and persistence are a lethal combination. That is the recipe for failure's cryptonite. As long as you always k...

You are resourceful so no matter what comes, you will be alright. Rest assure that what will be will surely take place- where there is a window, there is a way. Find a window or make one.

Choose to be in the midst of people who operate on the same wave as you do, with optimistically real goals, inspiration and aspirations that take up so much of their attention that all they can do is be in positive pursuit like you, and can not be distracted by the shouting naysayers behind them either. Learn from them, take heed in what they can offer as they journey to their own greatness, and be a supportive post for them to rest against as you would have them be for you.  Do not get tangled up in the drama, pessimism, doubt, fears, and negativity that others innately carry with them and attract. Limit those associations with those kind of people because they mostly provide very little other than distractions. Surround yourself with people who will voice their honest concerns but respect your decisions and honor your journey as your own. Be the reminder each other may need when your own voice is weak that happiness is a thought away, success is only part of the experience, the w...

Up and down every path know that you are walking into the circumstance that will best serve your future self.  All you can do is all you can do. Humbly heed the lessons to be learned, graciously bask in the pleasure and glory of victory, or bare the brunt and burden of your consequences as a result of your choices. Ultimately, everything, all of your experiences are lessons teaching you one thing or the other, either what it takes to have success, overcome challenges, or revealing to you mistakes you learn not to re-make.  Be responsible for yourself and own the choices you make. Stay  open to counsel but make choices you believe are best for you, and trust that you are strong enough to handle the outcome either way.  Make sure your vision, direction, and intention is just that- yours and know your life will unfold accordingly and in your favor.  Live you life your way and live it with no regrets. ~For more positive posts  fb.me/TheAnswerKey  & twe...
