Yin vs YangThe Battle for Success in Life

René Magritte’s The False Mirror

In the last 5 or so years, the world has undergone a mini revolution, one able to fly under the radar due to it’s nonviolent nature. This revolution is the information age, taking over by storm. The days of controlling information have become obsolete, and the way we live our lives has transformed.

Large or small, companies, criminals, business owners, politicians, and anyone else who’s central purpose has been the control and dissemination of information, now find their business models obsolete.

Musicians no longer need labels to be discovered by the world. Filmmakers have the means and resources to make a Jurassic Park size movie in their bedroom and can distribute the final result on the web. Entrepreneurs no longer need outside resources to start their dream business. All they need is and idea and the motivation to see it through. This revolution is going on right now, everywhere around the world.

Growing up, it was always about who you know. Now, it is just about who you are.

There are no more excuses. You can’t say, ‘I didn’t know how to do that,’ when all the answers are a Google search away. You can’t say, ‘I didn’t know anyone’, when every person and business is accessible in some shape and form on the net. You can’t even say, ‘well I didn’t have the money,’ when nowadays you rarely need it to get started.

In reality, it just comes down to us, staring into the mirror and realizing, there are no more excuses except the ones we create. There is nothing ‘we have to do’ that we are not passionate about. The only thing stopping you is the excuses you accept, and the only person in your way is staring right back at you.

Forget the limitations you think your body has.

Forget the fears of failure your mind projects.

All that matters is your spirit and your desire.

Let desire be your guide, and spirit be your strength. You always knew you could do it, you just needed a little time to accept the task at hand. Remember, success is getting up every day doing what you love. The rest just takes some time to fall into place.
