OPINION – A anonymous person once stated: “Always know the difference between what you are getting and what you deserve.”
Life is a movie. A motion picture where we are not only the stars of our existence but also the director of the show. With limitless possibilities that we as a society have at our very disposal on a daily basis, I can’t help but to think: Why is there such a gap between the lives that the mass media focuses on and the lives of the masses who stand idly by watching?
Over the more recent years, I have found myself having an increased level of curiosity about the mindset between those who appear to “have it all” while studying the massive disconnect from those who live a life of lack and low level of self worthiness. However, the results I would find not in other people, but rather in myself.
You see, whether it’s on a job, in business or in a relationship we will receive the exact things that we accept. Meaning, if we see ourselves worthy of being underpaid it doesn’t matter what job you take, that is exactly what you will continue to earn. If you see yourself settling for that woman or man because you feel you cannot attract someone who is a better fit for you, then no matter what relationship you find yourself in, the same traits that you had in the person before will find their way into your new relationship. And if you simply live your life through those who are living their own dream life because you feel that reality will never happen for you, your life will pass you by and you will arrive unsafely into the grave.
The truth is, I found in my own inner self that I had not come to a place where my entire life — personal and professional — was at a level of high self-worth which in essence over the last few years kept me in a place of repetitive cycles. There is no secret to success in all areas of life but what I have discovered is that the only difference between those who appear to “have it all” and those who don’t is their perception on what they deserve versus what they are willing to accept.
Be Bold. Be Great. Be You.
