Are You Conscious?

How many of us are truly aware of ourselves? How many of us just ride the waves and allow life and its situations to just drag us here, there and everywhere? How many persons are there who forget that they can control some elements of life? How many give up right before success strikes? My guess is that there are countless persons who fall into the categories mentioned above.

It takes a strong will and a wealth of determination to achieve a set goal. There are so many deterrents that will hinder you from achieving what you want. Often times, it's not because you don't believe in yourself or because you don't want to change your situation, why you don't accomplish, it's the external factors; the roadblocks, the barriers, the hurdles, the bumps, that stop us. You hit a snag and you just stop. You stop trying, you stop wanting, you stop doing. One little detour and your whole plan is gone down the drain. No more goals. No more strategies. No more research. No more attempts. No more dreams.

But what if you handled things differently? What if you didn't stop? What if you kept going and going and going, despite the odds? Most success stories that I've heard follow a similar path. An idea is formed, a goal is set, plans and strategies regarding achieving said goal are made, bumps, hurdles, barriers and roadblocks present themselves but because of a CONSCIOUS decision to overcome, the goal is still met. By making a CONSCIOUS decision to move forward in spite of adversities, those who are successful reap their rewards and benefits; even though they faced struggles and had to deal with numerous deterrents.

As I encourage myself, I want to encourage someone to keep pushing, to keep the goal in sight. It's not always easy but it's doable. Believe in yourself and do what you must to keep hope alive. Find something, someone or some place that can encourage and motivate you. The WA community is a good place for this. Each and everyday I see a different person living their dream or achieving what they want and that tells me that I too can accomplish. All it takes is a CONSCIOUS effort. Realize that there will be good days and there will be bad days. There will be days when you feel like you're on top of the world and days when you feel like the world is on top of you, but that's ok. I tell myself that once I'm alive there's still hope. So, it doesn't matter what you think you're behind in, if you're alive then you're at the right place, for there is still an opportunity to achieve.

Remember to be CONSCIOUS! Being CONSCIOUS means you're aware and being aware means you can plan ahead; and you're almost always at an advantage when you're able to plan ahead in most situations.
