Introduction

A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.

Ihave learned to never tell people about your plans, and to just do it. Often times we get so excited that we just want to tell everybody about our ideas, plans and what we are up to. Then reality starts to set in, when you are told how many other people are out doing what you are setting out to do. To me those are signs that people, (A) don’t believe in you, (B) They aren’t happy for you and (C) they just want to detour you from your dreams because they may have tried and failed at theirs. Then you will actually have people who are genuinely happy for you, which is great. No matter what, your goals and dreams are just that, YOURS. I’ve always said that no one can go hard for your dreams but you.

None the less, everyone has a gift that God has given to them. Let’s just be clear, there are Billions of people in the world who will have the same gifts, dreams and ideas. Your gift is and will always be uniquely made and tailored just for you. Don’t miss your blessing worrying about the next event planner; no two people are the same.  My advice to you would be, to stop making excuses, get started and set yourself apart. Most importantly, SHUT UP AND PLAN IT.
