Your Agenda...

It's easy to get mixed up in other people's worlds. Sometimes we feel as if we have to compete with others, to play by their rules or to abandon our agenda to work for theirs. No matter what you are trying to achieve, stay true to yourself. It may be difficult, but remember what it is that you stand for, what you are trying to do and what matters to you.

It is very clear to me now how people get lost. You are given opportunities to change your life and you take those opportunities. When you are in the environment where these opportunities arise, you may find it difficult to remember what your agenda is. Things have changed and you are receiving everything that you hoped, prayed and asked for. Now what do you do?

The City...

You gotta keep your head...keep your wits about you and stay on your own agenda. People say you gotta stay humble, stay grounded and remember where you came from. This is actually what they mean. They mean don't change because your circumstances have changed. Don't forget what it is you started out to achieve. And they mean don't become someone else.

I don't agree with the phrase, "Don’t be someone you're not." We are ever changing as humans. Only a few of us know who are really are. When we achieve more, things in our lives may change and we may change. And that’s okay. We have to grow. But to be fair, what people mean by that is don't become unrecognizable to those who knew you before these opportunities came. I understand what they mean and they most often mean well.

Bottom line friends...get set, keep your wits and remember what you want. If you want to change, change for you and you only. The journey continues...
