So You Wanna Fly?

So you wanna Fly? Many people want to be successful financially. Most people aren’t. And the ones that are have a different attitude. They understand to be successful you must make hard choices and quick decisions. I have compiled ten quotes that successful people shared with me. I choose to now share them with you. Many years ago I created  a series of six blogs. These blogs were my own sense of documentation of my current experiences and spiritual thoughts at the time. I felt that time was a very critical learning point in my life. I began to have thoughts about life that I could not just have with the average person, friend, or family member.  I was afraid of what people would think differently of me. I felt most people would only judge me on my past life choices, not actually what I believe presently in my mind and soul.

WISDOM SEEDS

 I quickly began to spill my thoughts all over my blogs on different topics. Staying up late on hot summer  night’s  typing by the pool. What I experienced  was that most people felt the same, but didn't want to talk about it publicly. I began to think of a ways to give advice without dictating my opinions to everyone. So I thought of what I learned and wanted to say, so desperately,  just to convey my message to the world, in the form of a blog named Wisdom Seed. Where people can interact on topics, of quotes I chose through these wonderful quotes. The results were really interesting.

   

GOALS

I believe wisdom is implanted into all of us as seeds. These seeds with relevant education and interaction in intellectual conversation, would act as as water to these seeds began to grow beautifully. Once cultivated could connect many people like a vine of information to a Great Tree of Knowledge. These wisdom seeds not only grow; they lay roots and build strong foundations with whom you converse upon. A well thought out conversation can lay the groundwork for you to accomplish many of your grandest goals. I comprised 10 of my favorite quotes to plant within you the seeds of wisdom. If you have a quote that you would like to add, comment your favorite quote or quotes below. And let’s plants some seeds, lay some roots, and accomplish more goals and start a vine of information today. This is the first of the  10 quotes; this is by Toni Morrison:

“You wanna fly; you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.”

― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

This quote speaks to me and says, we all have been places we shouldn't be. We all have done things we know don’t work out for us. Or have people around that can weigh us down. Yet we think for some reason things in our lives are going to change for the better. Not until we change our true selves can we change our lives. And only you can change you. Not anyone else. None of us has the power to change anyone; outside of ourselves. You may be able to influence their decision to change. But only they can change themselves. In the end the choice is ultimately theirs and theirs alone. When we are ready we will give up the things that weigh us down. Some people never arrive at that point of readiness. Other’s who will choose each new day, as an opportunity to conquer an old fear, will soar throughout life.
