Being Selfish with your pursuit of success

 If you are one of those people with a big heart or someone who believes in the power of giving back, you may find yourself feeling that you need to slow down the pace of your progression.   I know that sounds odd but think about it.  How many of us have felt guilty because so many doors opened for us that our peers did not have open for them?   You feel bad.  You feel selfish.  You feel ungrateful.   You have all of these feelings because, in your mind, you do not feel that you should be the ‘lucky’ ones.

STOP THAT!  

You aren’t LUCKY!  You are DESTINED!  Those opportunities that come before you are just that, OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU!   You can choose to share.  You can choose to enlighten.   You can choose to be humble.   But do NOT for a second believe you are not worth receiving those opportunities just because someone did not.  Those opportunities for you are meant for you to benefit and you do yourself greater harm if you do not take the time to take advantage of them.

Keep your eyes on the prize.   If you one day make it to the mountain top, throw a rope bag and pull some people up.   Just don’t stop climbing because your peers can’t climb as fast as you.
