Holding The Keys

The keys to your life are not held by anyone but you. However, if you have to many extra sets out there, the problem is that when you get home or go to use your car, there is no telling who maybe in your space. What I am saying is that you must allow only those into your life that can add texture to who you are, and be a sounding board for the issues that beset you.

The problem with many of us is that we have given out to many extra keys to our minds, hearts, and body. We have allowed everyone and their mother the full access to who we are, and what has happened is that we have become lost to who we are, and what we can become. You must stand on your strength and not the strength of what everyone's opinion is. Because, when you do this, you get lost in the ideals of others, and not in the ideals of what God is calling you to do. Now, is it hard not to allow, your friends or co-workers access to you. Yes, however, not everyone is meant to speak into your life, not everyone is meant share you world, not everyone is meant to be on your team.

We must learn how to in tune with our surrounding, but not allow what surrounds us to pollute who we are. The power of networking is that it gives you the ability to learn, and grow by just talking with others. However, many of us have networked our butts off and have found nothing in the saving banks of our minds. This has happened because you have tried to become like others, and not have become the true you. You, must become the truth about yourself. You need mentors, but mentors are not there for you to be just like them, mentors are there to guide you through the valleys because they have been there themselves.

If two people are trying to build a boat, and one knows how to shape wood and the other knows how to put the pieces of the boa together then a working vassal will be made. However, if all you ever do is talk about building the boat, and you both have the same skill set, and all you ever get down is the drawing, the what have you done, nothing. Not to mention, if all you do is talk, and before the wood can be cut, you have moved on to building a house, what have you done, nothing. We as people of creative mindedness must stay focused on something long enough to see the reality of a thing before we move on to the next thing. The keys to being a success in the new Social Media world or world in general, is the ability to stay focused long enough to reach success, not moving from thing to thing.

I have in the last week realized the truth about myself. that as long as I keep moving from idea to idea, I will never see success, I will always be limited to my dreams but never seeing them come true. I will always be talking and not getting it done. Now, does this mean that if something else comes along that you should let it pass, no. However, no matter what comes your way, that is new, work on that thing as well, but a lot a short time to it, so that the idea you were working on doesn't die.

I am no longer in the place of moving from idea to idea, I want to see the full success of everything I a doing, and I must build a team of people that are willing to do the same. Because, that is what creates success, this is how you hold the keys to your own life, and this is how you can change the world, by first change you and then everything else.
