Have you ever looked at your life and said, I want more. I want better for myself. I don’t want to be like the masses of people who follow like a toy soldier. If I don’t create a lifestyle for myself someone else will and I want no part of that!!!

I hope to shed some light on each and every one of you to make you realize your dreams and your goals are not stamped on you like DNA, you do have a say in your life, you have the choice to create your own destiny. I was a fool, but you don’t have to be.

Is there something better out there? This is the question that plagued me in my younger years of life, and please follow along, as I feel so many of you will share the same story that I did.  Remember, it’s never too late to become everything that you want to be!  

Don’t Be Like Me… I Was A Fool

So when I was young I grew up in a very nice, middle-class household.  I was brought up, as many of you were, to work hard and make a living.  But there was always something missing for me.  I wanted more – I wanted better, wanted bigger!  It’s amazing the influence that people can have in your life. I Was A Fool to have listened.

When I was 19, and working very hard, one of the things that I wanted most in life was a brand-new car.  Well, the opportunity arose and there was a chance for me to purchase this beautiful, triple black Cadillac Sedan Deville.  It was one of the proudest moments of my life – imagine, I was 19 years old with a beautiful Cadillac in my driveway. 

Now this decision did not come right away – I actually went to the dealership, sat in the car, and drove one.  But then my mind was made up that this was the car of my dreams and I would own one.  So many people will drive by the dealership and look in the window and say, “I’ll never be able to afford that car.” You know what my friends?  You’re absolutely right, you won’t – and that’s because you just put that out into the universe.  That’s what happens if you don’t go there before you get there – with that mindset, you’ll never get there!  These are life experiences that you have to put into your mind and believe with such conviction that it will happen, because you make it happen. 

 I was so proud of my new purchase, I couldn’t wait to show my parents my new car.  I spent the day washing and waxing and polishing it, in anticipation of how proud they would of me and that my hard work was paying off.  When I pulled up to my parents’ driveway and beeped the horn I was full of sheer excitement and anticipation.  They opened the front door and came into the driveway, I had an ear to ear grin on my face – unable to contain myself.  And I said, “So what do you think?”  Well, it wasn’t quite the response that I expected.  “What do we think?” They exclaimed.  “What are you trying to do, keep up with the Jones?”

Needless to say, I was crushed! I was a fool to have people influence me. I had worked so hard  to achieve my goal. I was devastated. I couldn’t sleep that night, and the next morning I got up, I took the day off, and I drove my Cadillac to a Ford dealership – yes, a Ford dealership.  I actually traded my new car in after only one day and bought a Ford.  My parents were now happy, because I was back into their “class”, and they weren’t concerned anymore that somebody would talk about their son trying to be someone he wasn’t.

I tell you this because I went there and I saw a better life in front of me.  I got there because of my conviction to be someone better.  And I was crushed because someone said I shouldn’t be better than where I came from.  I learned a very expensive, invaluable lesson that day: Don’t let anybody steal your dreams!  Drive a Ferrari, look at that mansion, test drive that car!  You deserve to live a better life and the life that you want.  Those things are there for the taking – and if you believe, you’re going to receive. I was a fool, but you don’t have to be.
