This week I did a talk at an awards ceremony, and it inspired this weeks blog. It was amazing to see all those hard-working students getting all the awards they definitely deserved. The talk I did for them that evening, was very effective in terms of reaching the learners and even parents. The feed back after the evening was really incredible and I am even more honoured to have had the opportunity to have spoken there that night.

I wanted to share the message I tried to get across to the audience that evening. I obviously wanted the learners to take something home with them that would benefit what the evening was all about. Therefor I tried to teach them what I believe achievements resulted from. I would say by the feedback the message was quite clear and too the point. Of course, this subjective to what I think works in favour of gaining your goals but hopefully it will also help you with your perspective on what your thoughts are on the subject.

When it comes to following the path to gain what ever it is that you want in regard to your respective goals, I feel there are three aspects that aid in the mission to achieving the goal. Those three things being, hope, faith and optimism. The three things work in harmony to insure you have a reason to put in the hard work to reach the destination you are thriving for in life. Theses aspects can be applied to anything in regard to setting and receiving your goals, in my opinion but all to there own at the end of it all.

Hope and faith allows for the belief in yourself and the possibilities to what you can strive for. It gives you power over the doubts, because when you start to believe in the possibilities of reality, all the hesitations don’t even matter. When it comes to optimism, this hands, a totally open canvas to your own creations of dreams. If your mind stays open and positive, then there is no reason to stop doing the thing that will lead you to what you want. When your mind is open and filled with the believe in yourself, all you are aiming for, short or long term, can be a reality.

Once you have the dream, you can make it real. Once you have the believe in yourself, your strengths and capabilities… well…. Then there is no excuse for not getting to where you want to go. There is no need for the believe from others when you have a belief in yourself because only you know what you are capable of. I have said that over a hundred times, but it’ll will never be said enough. Your worth and strengths does not belong to anyone else so only you know how and where to put them all to good use. It falls into your own hands, so make it count. When you work for those goals, keep going until you know you have reached the right place. Don’t stop when others tell you too.
