Often times we look for someone to resonate with when looking for success.
It’s so easy to read about successful people online, read about them in books and think to ourselves.. are they really that successful? Can I really follow their path and be debt free, make my own schedule, follow my dreams and passions and be the CEO of my own business? We don’t know them personally, so how can we believe them?
But if those people are in our direct circle of friends/family we can trust them. Many times, however, we don’t have a single person in our lives that can teach us, show us and guide us to a path that we strive for. Some of our friends and families are successful, indeed, but they are on another path. We have different dreams and goals than those people so we become intimidated by not having a single role model to follow.
We start creating limits for ourselves, become intimidated by our dreams and create a negative thought process. We start to believe that the people online are not real, they are not fully disclosing their lives, and success is not in close reach.
Just because you don’t have any role models in your life doesn’t mean you can’t enter the unknowns. It may take you a longer time to get there, but by entering the unknowns you will develop open doors, opportunities will start flowing through and you’ll eventually get to your goals!
Don’t give up on your dreams just because you don’t know a single person in your life that can show you that it’s possible. Know that it’s possible because you can reach your goals if you believe you can!
