Pursuit of Happyness

I recently watched an older Will Smith movie, Pursuit of Happyness, where his character lost mostly everything, but kept taking steps to reach his goals. It really has many life lessons built into it, yet stays entertaining and engrossing. (at least to me it did)

It reminded me that we all have goals and obstacles that we need to overcome to achieve those goals. How large are your goals? What do you hope to accomplish and what do you need to do to get there?

I've talked a few times about having specific steps to reach goals, but the thing is that in the middle of everything, life comes along and throws a wrench into the gears ( or a spanner into the works, for my English readers) then what you do defines you.

Do you shrug your shoulders and say, "Oh, well..." or do you grit your teeth and build a bridge over the barrier?

I have friends in the network marketing business who have taken years to build their business to a level where it supports great lifestyles, and I have some friends who took literally a couple months to get to the same level. What do they have in common? They didn't quit, they had a plan and they stuck to it. Fighting the good fight until you win.

I have to occasionally tell myself not to get discouraged and to know there are curveballs that get thrown at me. As long as I keep going, life gets better. Joining a business, you have to know that with mentors and a plan, with vision and tenacity, with hard work and persistence, you can be where you want to be. The pursuit of happiness will turn into living a life of fullness and happiness.
