#79  You can make your dreams come true if you wake up and work.

I know sometimes in life it doesn't seem fair that you have to work so damn hard, always working. But we have two choices in life we can either
a) Work really hard and enjoy the benefits of that
                         OR
b)Not work hard, float through life without goals and worry constantly about where we are going to be in 5 years.

We all have our own personal definition of "working". When I say to "wake up and work" i'm not referring to "making money". Its not about the money. Its about happiness, and working hard is what will always make you happy.

Don't be a chump. In order to be successful get out of bed, educate yourself and work hard. Doesn't matter what you are doing in life, do it well and do it with passion.
When you get the chance to sit and relax you will only enjoy it more.
When you were little, I believed in routines. We had a morning routine, school day routine, weekend routine, dinner routine and a bedtime routine. We followed a clock, time was always important. We had rules and even expectations. From a very young age, you knew there were expectations put on you every single day. Wake up, eat breakfast, brush your teeth, get dressed, go to school, homework, then play. That's what builds a good work ethic and that my darling is the secret too success.
If you want something bad enough in life, then you have been given the tools to make that happen. You know what discipline is, you know in order too be happy you must have some form of routine.
NOW...I am not saying its not ok too break the rules, its totally ok and very encouraged to occasionally and I repeat occasionally skip school for a ME day. Its even important to take a day off of work just for you. Book a trip last minute, stay out late, get drunk on a weeknight, have breakfast for dinner...LIVE~

My point is only if you want to be happy fox you're going to have to work hard at it. Doesn't matter what you choose to do in your life, as long as you are happy, content and successful in your daily living. Have a purpose, get an education and surround yourself with people who work just as hard as you.

Get up every morning with a purpose, don't ever give up. Go to school, go to work but never forget too play.
