Stay true to yourself and Pursue you DREAM!

Stay true to yourself and your dreams. Do not follow the crowd at the expense of your dream. Follow your dream and create your own crowd. – Tendai Mungate

The only way to be successful is by being real to yourself. Take time to think of the great successful names you know from people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey only just to mention a few. These people have become who they are today not because they were always trying to be hidden in the crowd but they had to step out of their comfort zones at the expense of their dreams.

You do not require a P.H.D or any masters’ degree to be real to yourself and follow your dreams. Remember the only reason you are on earth is to fulfil a purpose and that purpose is fulfilling your dreams, plan goals and vision. Most of us spend a lot of time getting to know others instead of spending most our time getting to know ourselves and following our dreams.

Being real is not an easy job especially in today’s world because by all means it is trying to make us someone else. Friends and family telling you your dream is too stupid and not worthy to pursue. The economy putting out stop signs. Most of the successful we dream of had to lose a lot of friends and some had to move from family members so that they could work on themselves and achieve their.

Know yourself and Follow your dream
The greatest investment you can ever make is in mastering and knowing who you are.

It’s about knowing your identity understanding who you truly are in the inside. Know why you were placed on earth; understand your internal strengths and weaknesses are. Remember you can never be true to yourself by not knowing who you truly are. Knowledge who you truly are allows you to attract people who will help pursue your dreams. You will attract the right friendship, fan base, co-workers, team members that will help you stay you and pursue your dream. Success is for those who can confidently go in the direction of their dreams not those that hide in the comfort of not pursing their dreams and pursuing the crowd’s plans.

Stop trying to be like someone
The only way to be real to yourself is by embracing those things that make you different from others, from your skin to your habits, ideas, dressing and language.

The reason why some of us are not succeeding in pursuing greatness is because we are imitators of others. We are constantly looking at what celebrities are wearing, driving and we try to be like them not realising in the process we are stopping our unique selves from being seen. I know this is a great challenge even l had this challenge but until l realised this simple fact. You will not experience real success lying in the shadows of another person. The world is only attracted to what you do and the way you do it. It’s good to learn from others but do not forget to also develop that one thing that make you unique.

Stop doing what the rest is doing
The main thing that will make you different from the next person is what you do.

Do not just do what everyone else is doing be different. Find what works for you and do that. Stop following the crowd the only place you will end up is with them. Your dream requires you to work extra hard and extra smart so stop isolating yourself in a crowd that isn’t taking you anywhere close to your dream. Follow your dream and create your own crowd.

Stop Surrounding Yourself with Negative People

Your association will determine how well you will achieve your goals.

Your association will determine how high you will go in life. That’s why it is always recommended to associate yourself with people on the same mission as you. People that will help you when you fall, people who will correct you when you are wrong, people who will like you for being you not for the other image some have of you. You do not people who will talk you out of your dream, people who will tell you cannot do it. People who tell you change to suit in, people who tell you your dream is too shallow or unrealistic. You do not need toxic people in your pursuit of greatness. Remember te toxic people may be your friends and family those who want you to remain the person you were yesterday at the expense of the person you are becoming tomorrow.

Keep working on you and your dreams
The greatest sign of one being themselves is self-improvement.

Your dream will require much from you, so the greatest way to achieve it is to keep working on yourself and the dream. Each day you need to have daily strides you take to achieve your goals. Work on developing yourself into becoming the person you want to become. Life is too short to be in the crowd. You are exceptional and be proud of it.
