"God has this set this journey as a test - Desire success and nothing less."
It's amazing how instant your life can be altered.
In 2 months & 22 days , I've learned, gained and experienced more valuable lessons than ever before. Being ambitious, I've always yearned to live a life my way. I never believed that there had to be that line, the line between business and pleasure, work and home. There had to be a way for me enjoy every minute in both worlds.
Everyone learns the same age-old lesson:
1. Go to a respectable school.
2. Graduate with a degree.
3. Look for a high-paying job at a big corporate company.
I tried that, for awhile, and received a good salary too, but good just wasn't good enough and I simply wasn't being challenged. I couldn't imagine myself sitting at the same mediocre position, doing repetitive tasks for the next 10-20 years. And the worst part about it is, even then there is such a small possibility that I can retire in 10-20 years. And that is the main problem; when you work for anyone but yourself, you will never be able to make enough money to leave.
You will always get paid just enough; just enough to get you by, just enough to get you that mortgage, just enough to make you believe you can leave.
At the age of 17, I had my first challenging and real job.
I recruited 40 girls and created an all female promotions team, it blew everyone away - including myself. I had my first taste of being my own boss, being a team leader and finally recognizing the potential in me. But I was still so young and inexperienced, it was a good job, but it wasn't my career.
Fast-forward 2 years, and I truly feel like I'm getting to where I should be.
Living in a world where business and pleasure is one and I'm finally walking on the path to my career.
I've managed to find what most people spend their whole lives working and searching for. Don't get me wrong, I still have a lot of hard work to do before I can sit back and relax, but I am happy working hard.

Freedom is doing what you want - Happiness is loving what you do.
It's disappointing to know that not everyone can achieve this, and it's not because they're not smart enough, nor is it because they're not lucky enough, but it's because they're not bold enough, bold enough to take that opportunity because they see it as a risk.
It's not who you are that holds you back - it's who you think you're not.
Last Summer I had the biggest downfall of my life, I had no direction, no career, no belief that any of this was possible, but now.. the seasons have changed and so have I.
