What all can we achieve in this lifetime? Throughout life we always heard the statement "the sky is the limit", but how high is the sky, can we go up and beyond it? No matter whom you are or what the situation may be, you can be capable of anything you set your mind to. There is no limit to what you can achieve during life as long as you set high goals and aim for them. I believe anything you dream of can be a reality, if you believe it's possible, make it possible.
Do what you love, if you love it, you will succeed at it even more. You see people every day, who are unhappy with what they do. Many made their choices based on what other people had to say, or they under estimated themselves and didn't follow their dreams. One thing people must learn is whatever you do make sure you want to do it and it's something you will still love to do years later. For example, you may love singing and just happen you have a beautiful voice. There will be many people who will say singing is not the best career to go into, or they may say other things to try to bring your sprint down, but if you take that risk and work hard, you could make that a successful career and have fun doing what you love.
No matter how bad it may be, seek criticism. We work so hard at trying to be perfect and looking at all the good things, we never take the time to criticize ourselves. You always should be trying to make yourself better and approve in some way. I'm going to use the singer for example again; you must always find a way to make your voice sound better. It may take lots of practice and sometimes you may not feel like doing it, but in order to be the best of the best, you must always find room for improvement.
Never give up, remember quitters never win. People are always giving up on their dreams. Some do it because they felt the task was too hard, others just quit because of what people had to say. If it's too easy, then what's the point and working for it? Nothing in life was made to be easy, so therefore you must work hard so you can reach your goal. Have you ever realized most of the people who say you can do something are people that are not doing anything with themselves? When you have high goals you must distance yourself from negative people, because they will bring you down right along with them. Don't listen to what people say, listen to yourself and do what you feel is right to do.
I believe life is filled with many different opportunities, the sad thing is many of us don't take advantage of the opportunities we have. Also many of us are scared to take a risk and try to better ourselves. As the quote states "Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." in this life the only person you really have is yourself, and if you plan on making yourself worth anything, you have to make the move. Only person that can change you is you.
