Being Successful and Finding Happiness

It's only Wednesday, but many things became very clear to me and were reinforced this week. haha. so these are my thoughts on Being Successful and Happy. Tell me what makes you successful and happy...? (if my best bud Cardoza reads this... he told me something very similar about reality versus perception a few years ago, and I never got it...) Well some things were sure as hell reinforced this week.

 - People (and Life) can really surprise you when take a chance on them. ONLY 2 results are possible; SUCCESS or FAILURE. You're supposed to learn from both. Our perception of things can be deceiving. Things are what they are... not good, not bad either. They just ARE. It's us as humans that add feelings and thoughts which creates our perception of how reality is... I think many of us also forget that in everything lies an opportunity. Everyone wants success and happiness, fewer go for it, & only an elite few actually achieve it.  Usually you have to start at the bottom to work your way to the top, that takes action with results... not just talk. People will tell you they can bring you the world on a platter, but is it actually delivered? 9 times out of 10 they are just blowing smoke... So quickly we are to place the blame. But there is no one to blame but yourself. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING you dream about doing, it just depends on HOW BADLY you want it... There is so much opportunity around, you just might not see it as that right away, it maybe disguised as something unappealing to you.. Are you successful and happy? Why or why not?... I don't need an answer. Just something for you guys to think about for awhile. The choice is always up to you, it's just where do your priorities lie and will you work hard enough to reach the "Goal" you have in mind. <3 don't ever stop dreaming and believing in yourself... I know I never will.
