When you have goals to achieve you have to understand you will be uncomfortable for a long period of time. And no one knows how long that period may be. That's why you have to become comfortable during that uncomfortable period. If you can do that your endurance will be stronger and then before you know it your struggles TODAY will be far better than your best effort YESTERDAY.

Giving is essential to your personal and business growth. We have to create the reality for others that we wish existed for us sometimes. It's a great thing because not only are you pouring into someone else, but you are also investing in your future; whether it's financial, mental, or spiritual.

Why is it so hard to tell yourself "it WILL work out" and so easy to tell yourself "it won't work out"

It's because you have lost faith and hope in your goals, but the good news is you're still qualified for The Grace Grant. And it doesn't have an expiration date.

Entrepreneurs and Dream chasers face many barriers to entry as we seek success. It can become extremely frustrating and discouraging. So much so that we begin to worship these barriers because we *think* the barriers will become our salvation. That line of thinking is very dangerous and far from the truth. That's why the "g" in god in today's episode is lowercased.

When we hear "generational wealth" we automatically think about tangible things such as currency, mansions, boats, cars, etc.

But generational wealth has many forms that are intangible like love, support, and inspiration. This is how Darrius Gates got to where he is today and why he's so focused on paying it forward.

This is a very traumatic world we live in. On all fronts. It's very discouraging especially if you have goals you're striving for.

Nevertheless, as long as we have air in our lungs we have the power to write our own scripts and give ourselves, and others, the happy ending we deserve.

Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice cream is the brainchild of YahYa Muhammad. Like many entrepreneurs he was met with hurdle after hurdle, and even tragedy unfortunately, but it was his strong faith that knocked down every barrier.

This episode of Aspire Higher YahYa navigates us through his journey from inception to manifestation.

"Denied" "Declined"

Seeing those words suck and can be extremely frustrating. It's better to see "Approved" or "Accepted"

Maybe though, just maybe, we get denied and declined, so we can never forget the blessings that brought us to this point in the first place.

You work so hard to build something then it comes tumbling down. Because of inconsistency, because of people telling you "No", because of many hurdles.

That can be very frustrating and disheartening. The only thing we can do in these situations however is to keep the pace and place our trust in something greater!

It's easy to remind yourself of the bad things, but it's hard to tell yourself the great things.

Change the conversations you have with yourself and watch your behavior shift.
