Failure is not the end, it’s just the beginning of a new journey. Like my good friend will always say; “before you quit, always remember why you started.” – SEA. The truth is when you have discovered your passion, calling, life task, the unique you, the dream/imagination, vision, or what some people call focus point, after you must have realized this thing called PURPOSE, you are sure to face barriers (synonyms: fence, wall, blockage, barricade, obstruction, obstacle, hurdle, difficulty, stumbling block, sticking point, impediment, hindrance… find all synonyms to qualify it), this barriers are not meant to pull you down but to push you higher on the ladder to success. If you have given up on your dream in the past, kindly pick it up one more time and pursue it, move your calling on purpose, you can’t afford to go back and tell the story that you gave up, remember, many people started just like you, only those that carry on during hard times are the ones in spotlight. Be wise, don’t let a defeat put your back down, you can still rise up, don’t be scared, know that life holds more that what you see. Be courageous and fight on. Like Harvey Specter in Suits will say, it’s time to go kick some ass.
Things you must do when facing barriers to your success:
- Get positive declarations (affirmations) and say it to yourself; such as “my life is a sensational story of success that the entire world will be in attention to listen to,” “I am a prosperous individual that believes true riches is not only possible but achievable,” “I can do it again, even if I fail, I can still do it better.”
- Believe you can.
- Maybe you are bulking the task, wanting to do more in short time, try to reduce the bulk, and now set goals and timeline to achieve desired objectives.
Move on to you success!

But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.” ~ Nelson Mandela

If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ” ~ Goldie Hawn
