You. Yes YOU! Hey… Hello!… I'm talking to you.
You have the power to do ANYTHING. Yes *yawn* you have heard it all before…. but just consider it for a minute.
When you were younger people would say to you "you can't do this" or "you can't have that".
You have been programmed by your family and friends to fail.
But you have a choice. You can decide right now in this moment that you do have a choice. You can do anything, be anything or have anything you want in your life.
Most of you won't. You will read this and flick to the next website looking for another information fix. Searching for "the answer" a quick fix to all your problems. All your worries and concerns. Well I'm going to give it to you straight. Yes I am young, yes I don't myself have everything I desire in my life right now… but I am fighting for it.
You have to make a stand against yourself. Put all your old habits behind you. Lose the stat checking and email checking addiction. Stop the search for help… and start helping yourself.
Fact. No one is going to do this for you. It will be hard. I mean real hard. You will sweat, you will cry you will be tired.. Excuses in your mind will come… but you have to push hard. Rise above the challenges in your life and believe that you have the power to do anything. You just have to want to badly enough.
When everyone one else quits, loses focus and gives up, you have to keep going. You have to be that hero. The person who against all odds fought for what they wanted and won.
Most people who reach the top first hit the bottom. I thought for a long time that I was just floating happily in the middle. That because I had not yet hit the bottom I could not reach the top… well here is a news flash… unless you do have everything you want in life and are 100% happy, you are at the very bottom.
If from this moment you let that light bulb flick on in your mind that you are no longer going to settle for less today you are at rock bottom. Sure you might not be homeless.. You might have some money in the bank… but if you start right now to really go after what you want.. Everyday day after this one will be better. You will never be back at the place where you settled for less.
Never go back to being lazy and not giving life 110%. You might stumble and fall but you can pick yourself up. Dust yourself off and hit the ground running… and I mean running, even sprint towards what you want.
Work harder not smarter
Stop kidding yourself you work 8 hours a day. Like most people you properly work 2-3 hours a day. You spend the rest of the day chatting, emailing and surfing. Avoiding all the stuff you know you really should be doing. Well cut that crap out of your life and focus on the stuff that gets you the results.
Go for it… never give up… and make now the start of your new life as a winner.

The Person I Long To Be
© By Victoria A. Mogyorosi
The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.
But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary
My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking
But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.
Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide
Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over
And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary
And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.
Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.
I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.
