Believe

photoChristmas is upon us.

Its a time of twinkling lights, evergreen trees and giving gifts to the ones we love. For many, its a time looked forward to all year long. Unfortunately, for some, its a time of stress, depression and anxiety. For Christians, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s a time of new beginnings, peace, love and joy.

It’s a time for dreams… a time hope and optimism. It’s a time to believe. It’s a time to believe that we will reach our goals and achieve the success of our dreams.

I start each day with a simple mantra; Find your purpose. Have faith. Live with certainty. Work hard and believe you can. With these five statements, I am reminded that whatever happens on this day, I will find my way through and move closer to the man I am intended to be.

Find Your Purpose

I believe we each have a predetermined path in life; a reason for being here on earth. When we find our purpose and pursue it with passion, our lives become full of meaning. We become a productive member of society and a powerful, positive influence in the lives of those we touch.

Have Faith

Whether our faith is religious, spiritual or psychological, having faith that our purpose is larger and more powerful than we are will allow us to proceed each day with passion. We can embrace the inevitable change that will occur and proceed on our path without fear.

Live with Certainty

Knowing our purpose and pursuing it with passion and faith gives us the power to proceed. Living with certainty allows us to reach levels of success that without confidence cannot be achieved.

Work Hard

We may find our purpose, have faith and live with certainty, but if we don’t take action and work our tails off, we’ll achieve nothing. We must prepare our plans, set our goals and work each day to achieve the success of our dreams.

Believe You Can

So, in the spirit of Christmas, please take this mantra as your own. Find your purpose. Have faith. Live with certainty. Work hard and success will be yours. Christmas is a time for dreams… a time of hope and optimism. Your dreams can come true, if only you believe. Believe you can.

I hope your year is filled of success, your life full of blessings and I wish you and the one’s you love a very Merry Christmas.
