You know, you hear people complain all the time that they are unhappy because they haven’t achieved their dreams. People always have these big goals and dreams, but most people ain’t ever gonna reach those goals because they aren’t willing to take the time necessary to succeed.

You’ll hear about people who have “overnight successes” but lemme tell you something, those successes were years in the making.

If you’re gonna make it anywhere in life, you gotta be worth a damn.

I know you might not like to hear it, but if you’re not willing to put in the time, you ain’t gonna see the results.

You might be able to think of a few exceptions, but let me tell ya, those people are lucky. People say, "Oh, well, Tai, here's an exception. Here's somebody who's not worth a damn, and they succeeded."

Now, they seem to have succeeded. But remember, whatever success you see, it'll probably fade away, because, at the end of the day, the people who succeed and who last are actually good at what they do. The people who actually willing put in the time are the people who are guaranteed success.

If you want to be successful or wealthy or even just happy in life, you gotta be worth a damn.

I wish every single person out there cared enough to make something of themselves, but let me tell you, not enough people do. Society has produced this idea that success is immediate and easy, but let me tell you, it ain’t. Just because someone told you that you can be anything you want to be, doesn’t mean it’s that way. You have to dedicate yourself to a vision or a goal, and work towards that every damn day.

It ain’t gonna be easy, but if you follow through with it, I guarantee it’s gonna be worth it. Being worth something isn’t necessarily a monetary value, but it means that you have put in the time and effort into a goal or idea. That’s more valuable than someone who got lucky and made a few million dollars.

If you’re gonna be something, be valuable. Be able to bring something positive towards everything you do, and eventually, it’s gonna pay off. It might take longer than you hoped for, but the longer you wait, the more success is gonna mean.

Stay Strong,
Tai

Hey Tai here, Sometimes it's hard to find somebody to help. There's a lot of need out there in the world. The way I look at it, in the world with all the suffering, you've got to earn the right to drive a Rolls Royce by making sure you give back. I gave $500 to a homeless man and his dog once and he thanked me by saying  “there is a God.” Now some people would probably say he might use that money for drugs and alcohol, and there's some truth to that, but I don't know. At this point in my life I don't feel like it's my place to judge everything, figure everything out, and try to help. Some people use it the right way, some people abuse it, but for the people that do use it, at least people didn't hold back giving because of the people who do abuse it. You know what I mean? Plus with that guy, I kind of have a soft spot for dogs. He's got his dog, and hopefully he buys some dog food, vet bills. You know I feel like animals are a lot of times helples...
“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh Dear ELLEN, “Next to “I love you,” and their name, “thank you” are the sweetest words a person can hear. What you may not know is that they are also some of the sweetest to say.  Gratitude makes you feel good. Robert Emmons from University of California Davis and Michael McCollough of Southern Methodist University conducted a study on the impact of gratitude on well-being.  Several hundred study participants were divided into three groups. One asked to keep a journal of anything that happened each day; the second was asked to write about unpleasant experiences and the third group was asked to make a gratitude list.  The people in the third group reported making better choices, felt more resilient, reported improvement in their relationships, made more progress toward their goals, felt more enthusiastic and energetic, and reported significantly less stress than the other ...
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart” ― Helen Keller Dear ELLEN, Have you been taught to hide or dismiss your feelings?  I hope not - but if you do deny your emotions in any way, you’re doing yourself a disservice. You’re human and emotions are part of your life. You may be a busy professional who believes that showing emotion means the competition will smell weakness and go for the kill.  You may be a father who believes that he has to be the rock of the family and be stoic in front of the kids no matter what.  You may be a woman who was told not to be such a drama queen. Yes, there are times when it’s good to tone down the display of emotion, but you certainly have a right to feel them.  Not allowing yourself to feel emotion can backfire because if the underlying issue isn’t dealt with it will rear its head again when you least want it to. Think about why ...
