A Word For My Sistas

I just want to be, I just want to be successful. One thing that you learn early in life is that life doesn’t always go according to plan. I remember being a youngster, mapping out my life, writing down my goals, and pinpointing in my mind the various stages in my life where I should have accomplished certain goals or should have experienced certain successes. I just wanted to be, I just wanted to be successful.

I wanted things to go my way, but reality sets in. It’s not all about the money, the cars, and the clothes. I just wanted to be, I just wanted to be successful.

But what is success? Well, my success is accomplishing my goals. My success is making all my dreams come true. My success is leaving my mark in this world and creating a path for others to follow. It’s not all about the money, the cars, and the clothes. I just wanted to be, I just wanted to be successful.

I wanted things to go my way, but reality sets in. At this point in my life, I realize that I
have so many goals that I haven’t accomplished. I have many more dreams to make come true. And I haven’t reached the success that I thought I would have reached by now. But it’s coming. I will be, I will be successful.

So, if you find yourself a little discouraged because life hasn’t gone according to plan or if you are not where you want to be in life right now, keeping striving. Don’t give up, it’s coming. You will be, you will be successful.

Onetta,

I have to say, you are right on point with this post, I look back and I say, wow, I had so many plans, what happened.

But then I realize, I have had some accomplishments in my life, that may have not seemed like much to others, but in my life they have shaped my character; it has made me more sympathetic, more human, more in tune with the world. And it hasn't been all about the money (somehow I believe that many people are learning this fact due to the current economic conditions).

I also realize that the best is yet to come; keep on keepin' on. Dance to the beat of your own drum, you will see that you won't be disappointed.
