Are you leaving a legacy? Or just leaving? Now pardon me while I go a little over the top and get right to the point. When you take your last breath on this earth, and you pass on to the after life, and you have to stand before your God, are you going to be proud of your life? Or in tears because you realized you wasted it? Now I told you I wasn't going to pull any punches, this is serious. Your life is serious. You've been blessed with God given talents and skills to improve the quality of your life style, and to improve the quality of others lives. It is such a shame to know that 95% never get the financial freedom necessary to truly live their passionate purpose. Now don't be one of the 95%. Move your self to that top 5 % who really live. Not just survive in this concrete jungle.
Have you ever walked along the beach just right down to where the water rolls up on to the shore? As your foot lifts from the sand you can, for just a moment, see your foot print embedded in the earth. But then, with in a blink of an eye, the sand fills in on itself. Leaving your footprint with no trace. The earth surface is smooth again, as if you hadn't left your foot print there just moments before. Do you want that to be an example of your life? I don't. I want to create something. A legacy. That lives on long after I leave this earth. Carnegie said, and I quote. "I want to spend half my life e massing as much money as I can, and the other half, giving it all away." And that is exactly what he did. He understood the concept, that the purpose of money is merely to trade it for the things that you want and the things that you want to do with your life.
Let me make this perfectly clear. You will never be able to truly live, truly able to enjoy life, truly be able to make a difference, until you achieve celebrity status and financial independence. So the question I have to ask you is. Are you going to leave a legacy? Or just leave?

Make it happen
Everyone has been to the point in their life when you are just not satisfied. Well I've been here on multiple encounters. My most recent one, today. Most of you know the events that have occurred in the past few years of my young life. For those of you who are clueless, strap in, you're about to.
June 30, 2007. Pennsylvania to Texas. That date marks the point in time where my life took a drastic turn. Sometimes I think for the better, sometimes for the worse. I spent my entire childhood in Pennsylvania. It was all I would ever come to know for 16 years. Moving to Texas was not only a broad change in scenery, but also the way of life. I myself, had been changing after time had passed. Again, sometimes I think for the better, sometimes for the worse. I'm not going to go into detail with the changes, (Some things are better left unsaid) but I will tell you this. I would not change a thing.
In every form of transformation I have endured, I have learned something. I would not be the man I have become today if not for these changes. I'm proud of who I have become-so far, we never seize to grow. The most important thing I will walk away with from this, is the insight of knowing what you have before it's gone. That is all the light I will shed on that subject. No sharing stories, no telling you what I've lost. What is there, is what you get. Harsh or not. Some things are better learned in solitary.
Now to the meaning behind the title. When daydreaming, I become surrounded by my thoughts. Almost as if taking to a new world beyond our own-who doesn't? In this time of fool's paradise I found myself staring at my wrist. On my wrist, a bracelet reading "Make It Happen." Then as if waking from a slumber, I realize. How can you put a price on true happiness? Meaning, why do the things you dread doing, when you could put that effort into what you love? The solution. Do what you love to do the most.-Also an accessory I wear for a reminder. And what you read just before this sentence, is exactly what I will do. I encourage you to do the same. Life, it's just to short.
