Just Make it Happen!!

Admin • Jul 14, 2013

Ambition is defined as, “an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment”.

When someone has ambition, it is the piercing element they need in order to make sure their dream is executed. Ambition overrides low self-esteem, lack of confidence and laziness. It eliminates excuses and finds a way to make goals happen. I’ve always heard that anything worth having is worth fighting for. Keeping this in mind, it is crucial that you as an overcomer and a successful individual find ways to fight for your dreams, your future, your loved ones, and for everything that you stand for.

Whenever you feel like saying, “I just can’t do this”, know that there is at least one person in your person who said they couldn’t do the same thing and they accomplished it. Whenever you feel like your back is against the wall, envision yourself as an arrow protruding from a bow towards a dimension of greatness that is beyond you. Remind yourself that the best is yet to come for your life. You are here for a purpose; don’t underestimate your greatness.
See your trails as jewels in your journey of life that instilled in you characteristics of success. When people stopped believing in you, it gave birth to perseverance and self-confidence. When people said you couldn’t do it, and wrote you off as a failure, in you rose motivation. When you lost followers, you remained standing as the fiery trial tested the core of you and found success.

You are so victorious that you haven’t even seen the best of you yet. You might have gone through a trail, but remember, diamonds always go through a process that brings out their greatest features. Just know that there is a divine plan for you, and that it will come to pass in its appointed time.
Nobody is a mistake. Nobody is worthless. We are all world changers in our own way. So, pick up your excuses and use them as tools to thrust you into your destiny. I wish you the best. Now, make it happen!!

I urge you to take a moment to listen to Dr. India White's enlightening TEDx talk, "The Power of Grit," where she delves into what drives grit in the lives of leaders, teachers, and students every day. In this captivating presentation, Dr. White offers invaluable insights into the transformative potential of grit—the unwavering determination and resilience that propel individuals toward their goals, even in the face of adversity. As educators and leaders, we play a pivotal role in instilling and nurturing grit among our students and colleagues. Dr. White's talk serves as a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we cultivate grit within ourselves and those we influence. I encourage you to watch the TEDx talk for a deeper understanding of how grit can drive success in our classrooms, workplaces, and lives.
