Determined!

After a quiet weekend and much time to reflect on my past and present, I'm determined to continue moving forward. I will stop blaming everyone for the successes I did receive… Hmmm, what's wrong with that last sentence? "Successes I didn't receive" and "Blame." Let's take a few steps back. I am a very determined and hard working individual, so any success I have are those I have created and nurtured. So for me to state that success is given to me is not accurate. Any success I have is because I not only wanted it, worked hard for it, and most importantly I shared my dreams and goals. So when success doesn't happen the way I envisioned it, that means it is time to take a step back and ask myself a few questions:

Is this what you want?
What do you want?
What do you need to get to where you want?
What are you willing to give up to get what and where you want?
Is it worth it?
Are you surrounded by people who are good for me?

This list is much longer, but I suspect you all get the point.

I will not blame others for not helping me achieve my goals, nor do I expect others to help. I must do the work and know that my time will come.
