Needing Inspiration from WA!

Hello All,

I'm having issue's in which in the past I have started new career ideas and changed my mind and gave up when the new adventure did not work out. Wealthy Affiliate is something very new for me that I have learned a lot since being a member and I'm struggling with completing the courses to get my websites up and running. Today, someone very close to me made a comment that I should give up and just stick to the 9-5 and that really made me feel at ease. I'm determined to make this work and need to know if anyone else experienced difficulty when first starting out. If so, what did you do to over come it and make it work for you?

All the best,

~Kimberly

I get much inspiration and motivation from other member blog in WA. Keep spirit.

Hi MelaniLukito,
I agree with you 100%..

Take care,
Kim

Kim, In my life as a motivational author, I love to help other people, and as I looked around the platform this morning I came across your post here and thought to myself that I would love to inspire this young lady, so today I am going to give you a gift of sorts. Let me inspire you with this charge:

Life is short, and we have no control over the time we have here on this earth so live each and every day wisely, live it with passion and conviction to be, to do, to live and to love the best that you can. There is no time to spend consumed in worry, and each moment should be made the most of, and make the next moment better than the preceding one. That is the way to live a truly successful life.

Now during our journey, during our life transformation we may experience fears, doubts, and even resistance along the way, but know that when you have a clearly defined goal or objective that you are willing to pursue with all of your heart, all of your mind, when you step up and face your fears, and when you push yourself beyond your previously held beliefs, well something happens within you. When that happens, of course, you must exhibit the courage to do what it is you know you must do, and you turn to your friends, to your family, to the public, on the whole, to gain their approval, during that analysis paralysis you will lose your nerve, after all, others have convinced you that your desires have no value. But has no value to whom? Well to them. But you may be convinced to not follow your dream(s). So I ask you, how much time do you really have left? Of course, no one knows the answer to that question, no one except your God of course. Isn’t it time that you stop wasting your most valuable resource TIME? If there is something you truly want in your life then you must be relentless and pursue it with reckless abandon. You must be both creative and resourceful. You have to acquire the winner’s quality of endurance. Being able to face inevitable setbacks and defeat, and doing so without ever giving up, this is true power, and although it is unnamed it is a power within us all, and only realized when we know exactly what we want and we are determined that we will not quit until we find it. It resides in you, but you need to learn how to tune out the internal and external critics, those who would say, that is foolish, why you are doing that, you can’t accomplish that. You must plow forward and not let anything stop or sway you. The majority of people give up on themselves way to easily at the first sign of resistance. Know that you are unstoppable. So you need to live your life with passion, desire, and pride.

Most of us go through our lives with the brakes on. It’s time to lift your foot off the brakes and hit the gas. You have to push yourself. You have what it takes, and today is your day. Do not be denied, not by yourself or by anyone else.

If there was no guarantee of tomorrow then what would you do today? I have never heard of any person on their death bed saying, I wish I had watched more television. NO NO, that thought, as far as I know, has never entered the mind of a person facing their mortality. You only have one opportunity in life. One chance in life to leave behind your legacy and with that in mind wake up realizing that every morning is a new morning, every day a new day, a new chance to make your impact on the world. So what are you going to do? Is it your desire to excel in this only opportunity of life, or are you willing to settle for mediocrity? Not me my friend, it is my desire to succeed and if you have made it to this point in our journey together I believe that is your desire too.

You must have ambitions, you must have faith, and you must believe in yourself. Your past experiences in life need not determine your future, for you can change that future just by changing your mind. That belief needs to be unquestionable.
When we have faith, we acquire patience, patience, and understanding that we can accomplish greatness. It truly is within our grasp. You can make it happen, just as the old Nike Slogan professed, “Just Do IT!”

Fear of success is not something to run from, but something actually to run towards and face with determination. Scream in the face of fear, “you cannot defeat me.” If there is a dream that you desire then you must stay focused, stay focused and get ahead. You have the ability within yourself to control your own destiny. Nothing can stand in your way.

Your time on this earth is limited so cherish it, and don’t waste it living someone else’s plan for your life. Pursue your dreams; don’t let others choose your destiny or your path for you. Find what it is that you love in life. Make it a career. As your career will take up nearly 1/3 of your life and the only way that you can sustain true satisfaction is to do what you have a passion for, what you love.

Along this journey you will work at many jobs but few careers. If you have not yet found your passion, I encourage you to keep on looking, it is out there, and the answer is different for everyone. Follow your heart and your intuition or gut feeling, because even though you may not know what your true calling is they do, and will eventually lead you to it, but there are stopping points along the way, these stopping points are simply learning experiences that will allow you to become the true person that you were meant to be. Growth is a necessary along the way, but the real challenge of growth comes when you get knocked on your ass, and need to pick yourself, back up and dust yourself off, and continue moving forward.

Now of course when you come to that point in your life that a career change is necessary either based on your choice or an external influence be it a layoff or downsizing, wondering just how you are going to survive, well at that time you must summon the courage to move forward. You have what it takes to not only survive but to thrive.

The way to truly prove yourself is to better yourself, take the bull by the horns, and push forward, travel into those yet uncharted waters.
Is it time that you asked yourself that all important question? What is it that you really want in life, out of life? Are you perfectly content in your current circumstances, or do you want, need, and desire more?

When you first came here you wanted to change, you desired change, and we have given you the tools to effect that change.
Is all you ever wanted out of life what everyone else had? Do you desire to just live in the status quo? Or do you choose to be different? Choose to excel at whatever it is you desire?

What does it really mean to succeed? What are the prices associated with success? How could you possibly ever achieve greatness? After all, we live in a world of over promising and under delivering. Where peoples walk often does not live up to their talk. So what does it really mean?

What does it really take to be a leader? Well, a leader is often one who would not call themselves a leader. But a leader is one who has seized their opportunity to be better than the rest, one that is happy and feeling fulfilled working when their “friends” are out partying.
It is essential that you shift your mindset from where you were yesterday, last week, or last year to where you truly desire to be tomorrow and beyond. Proclaiming to yourself with passion and desire that you will make it, possibly not by tomorrow, but you will make it absolutely, and without question.

Your success is not a possibility but a fact of life. Now that success may cause you to have to hustle, even from time to time thinking outside of the box. To make things happen, even when you feel as though they are impossible, you must always remember that only you can make the impossible into I’m Possible.

You must pick yourself up off of the canvas even when life has beaten you down, do not let life beat you because the only way that you can lose is when you accept a perceived defeat. So DON’T ACCEPT! You must WIN or you must LEARN, you must burn your ships and win or perish. You will do whatever is necessary and take the appropriate action, when others may hesitate.

You must think BIG when others will not! You must sacrifice when others are not willing to. You must dare to dream, to dream of greatness while others choose to fear it. You will out think, out smart, and outwork your competition. For you are the master of your fate, the captain of your ship. You and only you control what is on the inside of you, only you can establish your dreams and transmute those dreams into the reality that you desire, all by the means that you have learned herein.

So you can lead, or you can follow, the choice is only up to you. But as a leader, you need to be unique and never satisfied or accepting anything less than the life that you desire. You must be able to take the criticism and negativity of others and know that you will experience plenty of both as the world around you has a completely different mindset and many may be either envious or jealous of you.
You must be willing to make the sacrifice of your today, for a much better tomorrow. By making that simple little sacrifice today and making the commitment of living a year or two of your life so that you can and will live the rest of your life like so many others cannot.
Your sacrifice, your commitment, the discipline, and your dedication are going to be what sets you apart from the rest. Now I know I have asked you to remove the word failure from your vocabulary and that being said just let me say this one time, if you can find me a man or woman who has never failed (or received less than their desired results) and I will show you exactly what the true meaning of failure is.

It takes the temporary setbacks to drive us, to motivate us. You have not failed until you have succumbed to failure. The only difference between the ultra-successful, the mega man or woman is that when others packed it in and ran away, they did not. They persevered, and you can too.

You will find a way when others believed there was no way. If we desire to WIN the GAME of LIFE we cannot throw in the towel. If we adopt the attitude of Edison that the failure of life is simply learning another way that simply did not work, did not deliver to us our desired outcome. Yet pick up, dust off, and get to stepping.

There is no greater satisfaction in life and in the writing of this course, I feel that I have accomplished it at this point as I write this inspirational conclusion to you and all mankind. No greater satisfaction than hard work paying off as you see the fruits of your labor comes to bear.

But realize that I don’t even consider writing as work; it is a passion of mine, a passion that has been wrapped within a burning desire and then pursued with vigor and refusal to quit. That to me is a success; of course, your definition of the word will vary based on your own personal desire(s).

There is no greater satisfaction that one can receive other than the satisfaction of knowing that you are a self-made success story. And that is within your reach. Simply by taking actions while others chose to sit on their butts. Knowing that you have had revealed to you the time tested Success Principles described in this book that will truly let you WIN the GAME of LIFE! The largest differences between the winners and the losers in life is often the actions that each will or will not take, who is willing to put forth the effort, so let me ask you today, “ARE YOU WILLING TO JUST DO IT?”

You NEED to DEFINE your WHY, your life’s true purpose. You need not only write it down, you need to commit it to memory so you can recite it at the drop of a hat. It will be that WHY and your commitment to it that will be enough to pick your butt up off the floor after life has kicked you right square in the crotch.

Bring your “A Game”, put forth always your best efforts, and refuse to give up or to be denied. Follow the principles and concepts outlined herein and failure no longer is an option. You can succeed, you will succeed, and you have succeeded.

This charge is taken from my book “SUCCESS…Taking Your Life to the Next Level” I hope that you have enjoyed it, and of course, you can learn more about me by visiting my blogs http://millionaire-marketing.siterubix.com/ and americanselfhelpinstitute.com or even better why not follow me on my journey to the top, and I will surely follow you on yours.

And in the immortal words of Mr. Zig Ziglar… “I’ll see you, at the Top!”

Hello Dr. Carl Welliver,
Thank you so much for taking the time to break down what I need to change in my life. I will definitely take your advice.

Best,
Kimberly

You've answered it in your quote, Kimberly - well done. I really don't think quitting should be an option as long as you're making real efforts regarding your goal. Thanks for the share.

Hi Sheila, I agree with you 100% and there is no way that I'm quitting. I believe in this and I'm enjoying learning new things. Thanks for the support and at the moment I'm still standing!! :-)

Kimberly

Same here, Kimberly, your spirit is admirable, and as long as you keep it alive, you'll get there. Thank you, too.

Thanks Sheila!! I will try my best.. (-:

Kimberly, I am still working hard at getting everything in place. I have been here 6 months and have my site up and running. I just need to keep it going. The main thing is I am having fun with the learning and I am starting to see everything coming to fruition! You will have doubters and people telling you it can't be done...

It can be done and you will do it! It just takes work and perseverance to get it accomplished...you also have to add in patience. This is not a get rich quick scheme but it is a way to make a long term income!

Hi Keith, thanks for the advice and I've realized that sometimes Im very inpatient and want things immediately. I also share a little too much with people. I will definitely work on changing some of my tactics.

Many thanks,
Kimberly

Maybe my story may help you.

I understand the frustration of trying to create an online business given all "the moving parts" of creating, building, promoting and monetizing it. I have been doing this internet marketing thingy for 20+ years. It took a long time trying to do it by myself.

I joined WA in May 2016. So I have been a WA member for less than a year. But all the training you need to build a successful online business is here. You don't have to spend years hunting it down.

When I joined WA, I made a commitment to myself to do every step of the training and do all the tasks. The thing that I learned the most was that my 20 years of experience had many gaps in my knowledge and skill set.

I also realize that WA provides a massive amount of information. At times, it is like drinking out of a fire hose. But we are not in a race. So if it takes extra time, then it takes extra time.

But the great thing is the community support. There are so many people willing to help. I have never seen a community like WA. And believe me when I say I have been in many over the years.

Kimberly, I hope this helps. :)

Hi Glen,

This is a huge help and thank you for sharing. I agree with you 100% that the people here are very supportive.

Best,
Kimberly

Sometimes it is best not to share what you are doing with friends and family. They aren't always your best supporters.
A number of blogs here at WA highlight that. Some close to me don't have a positive view of WA but I have learned so much and will keep on going with my goals.
Be patient and keep quietly focussed. Share any success with like-minded people; they can all be found here at WA.

Hang in there,

Duncan

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for your advice and I will have to start keeping things to myself. I'm so use to sharing what I'm working on, but at the moment that's not working out for me. I truly believe in the system and will have to follow you advice to stay, "quietly focussed".

Thanks again,
Kimberly

That is a good motto, 'quietly focussed'. Just work at what you believe in and let the results do the talking.

Yes, it's an excellent motto and I'm already feeling better just using it from your advice. Thanks again. :-)
