Success... What is it?.. How do we achieve it?..
You might be surprised, but success starts and ends with yourself and nobody else! What does that mean? Its simple nobody else can make you successful! The people around us aren't holding you back. The walls that block you from what you want. Be it money, fame, house, family, kids... ANYTHING! That is on you. You create those walls out of disbelief in yourself. You are your own worst enemy...
Not many; I know... it's not easy.
This is a quote I use a lot! I want you to start thinking about things in life that are holding you back. Remove the unwanted barriers that keep you from what you want. This is a hard concept for most, but think of it this way. The more you give up now the more you will have later, but don't worry the stuff you have later will be greater than what you could have had earlier. I want to share with you a story not from me, but someone you may know a bit more about!
WALT DISNEY!
Before he became the legend that he is today, this man was struggling to make ends meet. In 1919, while working for a newspaper, he was fired by the newspaper editor because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” In January 1920, he formed a short-lived company with another cartoonist. However, following a rough start, he left temporarily to earn money at the Kansas City Film Ad Company. He was soon joined by Iwerks, who were not able to run their business alone. Later, though he acquired his own studio which was successful, studio profits were insufficient to cover the high salaries paid to employees. The studio became loaded with debt and wound up bankrupt. After that, he decided to set up a studio in the movie industry’s capital city, Hollywood, California.
AFTER:
He created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald, which was one of his first huge successes in the cartooning business. At that time, he was only receiving a 20 percent cut on his films and was ready to negotiate for higher since he was barely earning. He received another setback when his producer stole the character, and also stole his animation crew by negotiating contracts with them. His producer thought he would cave and work with the mere 20% he was paid.
While most people would pack their bags and return home crying, or work for minimum wages, this dauntless young man went on to create his most successful cartoon character EVER – Mickey Mouse. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this amazing person is none other than the entrepreneur, cartoonist, animator, voice actor, and film producer Walt Disney. Reportedly, he was also told that Mickey Mouse would not work since a huge mouse on the screen would terrify women. Well, it seems that women were not scared, for this mouse has continued to share his story on screens all over the world, even today.
See not everyone in the life of fame was successful overnight and that is the truth everyone needs to understand. That everything around us isn't easy, and the only way to become successful at anything we want it to fight for it. No matter how hard or how painful... Fight for it!
This quote is my favorite when it comes to success, because it truly shows the point we all have to overcome to reach it.
DO NOT GIVE UP!
The start to anyones success isn't easy, and I have my fair share of stories leading up to my success as a content creator on YouTube, and I still run into my fair share of problems today. The point... Any problem, pain, struggle that you are having is only temporary if you fight. Give up and the pain lasts forever. This comes back to yourself. Literally You; that is your worst obstacle! The wall that blocks you from Success...

If you don't believe in yourself how do you expect others to believe in you.
