The Bible: Proverbs 3:6 - In all your ways acknowledge the Lord, and He will make your paths straight
Psalms 20:4 - May God grant your heart's desires and make all your planes succeed.
Philippians 2:13 - It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.
What are your ambitions? What do you desire to be in life? These are the questions a person should ask themselves on a daily basis. Everyone has a goal or dream they want to reach. Whether that dream is in their personal or professional life. What is your dream? Is it to move up in your current company or apply for another position in another? Is it to own a home or have children? Even get a new car? Whatever your dream, you have to have to be ambitious about it. Who says you cannot have what you want in life? Setting goals and having the desire to go for it will get you what you want. As the Bible says in James 2 "Faith without works is dead." If you do not put that first foot forward, you cannot expect to get anywhere. You are not going to get anything done sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. Even if you get rejected, keep going and keep moving. Never stop pursuing your dream. Even if someone tells you "No" or "I don't think that's a good idea," you should keep going.
My dreams? To be my own boss and make a beautiful life for my daughter. How am I going to accomplish that? By working hard and getting out there in any way possible. I own two WAH businesses. Soon I am going to start a course on wedding/event planning. This is something I am passionate about. This is something I have been thinking about for a very long time now. Not many people know that. I've had negativity bring me down in the past. I have learned that you cannot let what others say and think impact your life. If it does make an impact, make sure its a positive outcome. If someone says you can't, SHOW them that you can and will. You do not have to prove anything to anyone. God knows your heart and knows what He wants for your life. Pray and move toward your dream. However, you cannot expect God to do all of the work for you. You have to take that first step. You have to show God that you really want this and are willing to work for it and to keep it. He knows your heart, but you still have to show him how bad you want it.
I do that by doing everything I can to get new customers. If I want to build my businesses and any future business, I have to get out there and promote myself. Not just online but in person also. I am kind of a shy person, but I have begun to learn to overcome that shyness. In my kind of business (or any business) you cannot be shy. You have to be willing to talk to people, even strangers. Customer interaction is key to your business. I am working on that. I see people all the time marketing their business and I am like, I need to do that. I wear my name tag every time I leave the house. One day it is Mary Kay and another it is Traci Lynn. People to look and they do ask questions. Right now I am limited since I do not have my own transportation. I do not let that stop me. When I do have a car I utilize that time in the best way possible. My first goal is to buy me a car at the beginning of the year. With that I do A LOT of internet marketing and making phone calls. You do what you have to do to make your money. Do not let anyone stop you. Keep having ambition and the strong desire to get what you want.
God wants you to be successful. You have to put in some work also. He cannot help you unless you are willing to help yourself. Keep praying and keep pushing for your dream. You dream and goals will happen and come true when God knows you are ready for it. Even when it seems as if things are going in a bad direction, keep pushing and praying. Sometimes you have to go through the bad in order to get to the good things that are coming to your life. God is testing you and you have to pass those tests so He can give you your reward. Be Ambitious! Reach for your goals. Let go and let God lead you. He is your guide and will lead you on the correct path. Use the same energy you use in your relationships to build your business. If you want it, go get it! I am going for mine, I know you can do the same. What is your motivation? My daughter is mine. It can be the house you want, the car you want, your children or the need to stop working for someone else. God Bless You!
All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible. - Orison Sweet Marden -
