Will you leave a legacy?

Back on July 12, 2007, I made a post titled Definite Major Purpose.

As each day passes, my desire to make my definite major purpose a reality grows.  I want more out of life and I want to help children in the process.

One of the biggest things that hold people back from being successful in life is the belief that their family’s failures are their own.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I can’t say that I’m immune to this thinking.

(continue reading after the jump)

It has been only the last few years that I began my journey to success (hense the blog) and thanks to the teachings of Napoleon Hill, James Allen, Gene Simmons (yes the guy from Kiss), and many others I now have an unbreakable belief in myself.

I know that my family’s success or failures do not dictate my results in life.  Although there are certain advanages?of having a successful family, it is not what makes a successful person.

You have the power to control your mind and even your failures of yesterday do not determine your future success.

Your success is in direct proportion to your desires.  If you want something bad enough, you will find a way to get it.  You just have to determine what it is you want, create a reasonable plan to obtain it, break the plan down into managable tasks, and TAKE ACTION to complete those tasks.

You also need to believe in yourself.  You need to (without any doubt) believe that you can obtain what it is you desire.  This believe doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people.  Why? Because we are not taught as children to believe in ourselves.

That’s what I want to change…  I want to teach children the fundalmentals of success and?to have complete unbreakable believe in themself.  I want to teach them to overcome the limitations imposed by others and believe in the power of their own mind.

That will be my legacy… What will be yours?
