If You Cannot Change Your Friends - Change Your Friends!
July 1st, 20081. Dearly Beloved:
2. Have you ever found yourself in an environment where you feel like fish out of water? You are not alone.
3. So, what did you do? It seems there are a million and one options to this kind of situation but to share just one, let it be quickly mentioned here today as it might just solve all the puzzles you have been starring at all these while long.
4. If you cannot change your friends, change your friends!
5. In other words, you have tried to make people understand your view and stand point on the matter at hand. You have made every effort to explain yourself and your goals and your vision and dreams and what you think, are planning to do, will act upon and make happen as the years go by but it seems as if you are the only one in this wide universe of ours, this is the key = stay true to your one focus.
6. Now, anything you consider success may not come easy. If it does, then it was or may not have been the best or highest quality you have the capability to deliver. Always work for the utmost best results. There is no little or great success, every achieved aim or goal is FULL SUCCESS! Yours may be 14 by 20 feet in size and another may be 200 by 300 in size, when both are achieved according to size, they are both success - as a matter of truth, full success. So, do not beat yourself in the head asking why are you so dump! You are not, you have just achieved what your heart set out to do and that is okay and fine and complete and worth celebrating.
7. One more thing to add to this adage is this, “Those Who Matter Do Not Mind And Those Who Mind Do Not Matter”!
8. In essence, give it all your go and put your heart to the one singular aim you have purposed to pursue with your lifetime goal and you will succeed. Trying to figure out what everyone is saying about you all the time will simply slow you down and sometimes inject fear, worry, stress, depression, stagnation and all the negativity you can think of to stop you from progressing and achieving success. Get out of the crowd, get into action and you will see results.
9. Remember, no one stands with mediocres, people stand and cheer and celebrate achievers - become one today. Start now!
10. Achievers separate themselves for a pin-point purpose and climb the pyramid of options and ideas to one singular apex to make sure they stand out of the crowd and get celebrated. What is your pin-point goal in life, what are you aiming for. What is your lifetime purpose? Those are the questions you need to be asking to get to the apex of your life time goals and dreams and actions and thoughts and results. Focus on only one thing, you do not need everything and everyone and everywhere, you need someone, somewhere and something to achieve your aims. Focus, Focus, Focus. You will make IT!
11. You need not be worried about many things because only ONE thing is needful, GET WISDOM!
12. Shutting off all the noises in your life will help you. You have enough noises around you to keep you spiralling in the same circle. Get out of the box or circle of events that you have been locked in, examples are news that do not matter, gossip, music that distorts your thinking process and all relationships that continuously demand your attention without adding to the baseline results you started out to achieve. There are numerous noises you will have to figure out and define and eliminate yourself to become more productive with less resources.
13. Frankly, you know by now that not all the things and stuff you have wished for and wanted were put to use in your life so far, so, why not prune them all down to those few things that matter and work for you?
14. That is where the statement and slogan of “LESS IS MORE!” hailed from. It was culled out of the deep thought of understanding that you do not need so much in life to be able to contribute something worthwhile as well as become productive, effective and efficient. You simply need the basic things and tools for achieving your aim.
15. Which will you prefer, a dance round a candy box for hours only praying and giggling expecting the box to open so you can eat the candies or practically picking up the candy box, unwrapping it up and picking the candy that you have personally chosen to eat?! I believe you get the idea.
16. Many dance round the candy box wishing and wanting and praying that it will open of its own accord without necessarily sitting down and re-evaluating their lives to ask the real and practical questions of where they are, where they love to be and where they are coming from. They are simple questions that if you ask yourself at every now and then or perhaps every few moments of your life, you will be able to measure your progress further, understand where you are in your lifetime journey and re-align yourself for the future goals that you have originally set out for. This is not a curse, but you will not see your vision come to reality if you are going the opposite direction of it!
17. Come to think of it, someone was talking the other day and lamenting that it seems all the cars on the highway were facing him at top speed while he was driving in his own way. It was not long before everyone understood that he had been driving on the wrong side of the highway! 
18. So, ponder on these thoughts today and it is hoped that it will jumpstart something in your life to make you reason once again about where you love to be, where you are and where you are coming from. You do not need so many things at some times to connect your point A to point B. You simply have been distracting yourself with so much that you found it hard to see the few steps that you simply need to take to arrive at your destination. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, why have you been going in circles or spiralling across in a zig zag motion?! You think about IT!
19. This is already getting long and have to put a pause on it for now until next time there is an opportunity to share what has been thought of recently.
20. Remain blessed and a blessing and we will be able to speak soon by the grace of God.
21. Regards, GW!
