WHAT IF YOU WERE BORN POOR?

Were you born poor? Guess what! That is no longer news. There are people who had similar background or probably worse but made their way to the top. Some could not afford basic education, others are high school dropouts and some were homeless at some point in their life. Your current situation may relate to that of these now great men who now rule their world. So why can't you? There is a trait that is common among Sheldom Adelson who made his billions from trade shows and casinos, Carlberg, the Real Estate and Venture Capital Billionaire, John Paul Dejoria who made his money from hair products and countless other Billionaires. That trait is what I call "never say die come what may". They all did something the vast majority out there would term "impossible". They were willing to climb a mountain they did not really know how long it would take them to get to the peak, They were willing to jump though they did not know exactly what they would land on, but they were tired of being where they were.
Do you want to be celebrated and looked up to? Do you want to be relevant and consulted while others watched? Then come with me and let us rewrite our stories, abandon the life we given and creat the life we want, let us dictate the future and stand up strong. The following steps will help to metamorphose you from where you currently are to that place you want to be, and permanently change your life and your children's heritage.

1. TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH. According to the best selling writer and speaker Mandy Hale, to live and truly live, we must be wiling to take risk, to be nothing in order to find everything,to leap before we look. It therefore follows that we must discomfort ourselves in order to find the comfort we so desire. We must give up something valuable in order to to gain something of greater value. It may be your present job, your present home or even that friendship you so much value.
2. LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE. If you get too comfortable with your present situation, job, income and maybe accommodation, I am afraid your growth will be limited. In order to truly succeed and get to the zenith of your endeavors, you must find that zone which the famous writer Marshal Martin described as the zone beyond the zone of courage and the zone of terror.this is the sweet spot for if you become courageous and rise above your fears, your growth will be limitless.
3. JETTISON FEAR. henry Ford said that one of the greatest discoveries a man makes,one of his greatest surprises is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do. Throw away that fear that couples your movement to a better destination and you will surprised at the result. You will see how good you are.
4. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. One of the problems that cripples a man the most is lack of self-worth. Some people think they are not good enough but you've got to have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful. However you must be modest and guide against overconfidence.
5. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Benjamin Franklin one of the founding fathers of the United States of America once said that you may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again. Therefore, whatever you know can be done today, never put off for tomorrow. Though it is said that things may come to those who wait, in reality, They can only get the things left over by those who hustle.
6. DO NOT LOOK FOR THE EASY WAY OUT. A post in the Elite Magazine says that this generation loves to take the easy way out. Now there are two types of people in this world. Those who will take the easy way out, listen to their weak mind and never finish their work-out because they feel "tired" and those who persist, give their all, get past the wall in front of them and finish strong because it is what they set out to do. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of people fit into the later category while the vast majority would simply walk away. Only the strongwilled pulls through and eventually goes beyond the average level and become more successful. You'll have to choose where you want to be.
   Yes, you may have reasons to believe you were born on the wrong side of the track of life. But think about this: Out of the over 20million sperm cells released on that fateful day you were conceived, only one that is you made the race. Yes you were top of the list so you made it to the finish line before others and you hit that egg. Others were washed away but you are here now so you've always been a fighter. Why stop fighting now? Put in everything you are and fight your way to the top. See you there.
