2011 seems like the year to really make something happen.  I guess every “New Year” is really a good excuse to make something happen.  I can sit here and type about all the things I want to do to be a better me but I do not want to waste your time…I put “Me” in the title but me is not who we are talking about…It’s really you…

   I’ll make this short and simple…Think about your dreams, your goals, wants, needs, etc.  And really ask yourself…

   “How can I achieve them?”

   I personally have not met a lot of my goals and dreams…yet.  But I can definitely say I am working to achieve them.  Everyday I put in work and remind myself of how important it is to do whatever is on the list for me in my life.  Really, what I am really trying to say is…Are you putting in work everyday to reach those potential goals and dreams that you have in your mind?  Be honest…

   I always hear a lot of times that people want to have a job that pays well…Or even just a job…Well here is a tip…Go fill out an application…

   I always hear “I’m too fat…I need to lose weight”…Here is a tip…Get off your lazy ass and go to the gym or go run for 30-60 minutes a day or every other day and watch the foods you eat…

   I always hear [this applies to me and I say it all the time]…”I’m too skinny and I don’t really gain weight”…Here is a tip…Eat more…

   I always hear “I want to make “x” figures in a job that I love”…Here is a tip…Put in some work and stop sitting everyday dreaming about it…

   Basically, what I am saying is that we all want so much out of life but do not care to do anything to make those visions into a reality…The first step is seeing it and believing in it…The next step is to start being pro-active and making it work…This generation of people are the most money/financially hungry generation of the past generations before us…But over half of us will not even put in the work and break the same sweat than the people before us did…

   I think back to people before me…My grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, etc…And I hear certain things that they went through to make things work…And I think to myself, “am I, someone who has probably 100 times more resources than they did in their day, willing to even work as hard as they did?”  I’m dreaming of having a fabulous lifestyle but my mentality is not even at half of what they put in…So…

   “How hard are you willing to work?”

   I’ll leave you with this…You are not going to make it the way you want to by not doing anything…Thinking that the world will give you everything on a silver platter is ridiculous…It is really time to start being more serious and start putting in work towards our goals…Face it, if you are reading this post, you have all the resources and support you need…The internet has made us lazy and has given us a platform to put our thoughts and even complain but we have not taken full advantage of how it can put us into action…Well how about you stop complaining and stop feeling sorry for yourself and start taking responsibility to become a better you…Like I said…You want to really make it out there in the world with your dream and your vision…Then what are you doing to make it happen?  Trying something once or trying one thing and giving up is soft…

   2011 is your year to make you a better YOU…
