Peace and blessings everyone. Today, I just feel like expressing some of my thoughts more or less for therapy. A lot has been going on in the world and this is just my outlet. In a perfect world, everybody could do live their lives to the fullest become the best version of themselves. I don't see how you feel good about yourself if you waste your time and energy hating on someone who has no done anything wrong to you.
Instead of hating, spend time focusing on yourself and bettering yourself. Haters get no love so why be a hater?
I also want to just say that we need more love in this world. We as human beings make things that are simple, so complex. We need to love ourselves first and foremost. Then we need to learn to love each other. You only get one life to live. Do you want to make the best out of it or not? All you have to do is love yourself and focus on being better than you were before. It's that simple. Now get to work!!!

Becoming Your Own Boss
There comes a point in time when one needs to make the decision to be a worker or to be a boss. If you want to be a boss you need to be willing to work for it. To become a boss one needs to be willing to take risks and to make sacrifices. You will need to believe in yourself when no one else does. You will need to be willing to give up your time, sleep, money and maybe even your social life in order to keep your business going. You must be willing to hold responsibility for all of your decisions and actions and you must be willing to manage the consequences. Now this may sound like a lot to handle but when you consider the reward, it's definitely worth it.
I have a technical background. In my past I've worked as a programmer, systems analyst, business analyst, and IT consultant. I've also done some web designing as a hobby. To stay sharp in my industry, it's crucial to keep up to date with the latest trends, changes, and skill-sets. I read a lot of IT related material from new articles, magazines, books, blogs, etc. In doing so, I realized that that the skills that are need for my job today may not be relevant anymore in the future. So in order to remain valuable, I decided that I needed to change my mindset.
Most people who have a good, or at least decent job, may find the idea or leaving that job very difficult. When you've grown accustom to a certain environment and have built deep and strong relationships with others, it's tough to have all that come to an end. However, you don't have to jump ship and leave your job to start your own business all at once. You can start working on your business part-time. Invest in yourself in your free time until you feel ready to become a full-time independent freelancer or business owner. To get started towards that path, here are some tips I would recommend:
I'm not going to go into detail on these tips because I think they're pretty self explanatory but the one thing that I want to emphasize to you if you want to become your own boss is to take action, even if it's just small amounts of action, do something that will help you become the boss you want to be!

- Set small goals and attack each goal one by one.
- Write out a plan to help you achieve your goal.
- Network with people that can or will help you.
- Surround yourself with people who inspire you to be better.
- Find a Mentor that can help guide you through your journey.
- Have faith in yourself, in God and in your abilities.
- Invest in every aspect of your life.
- Do things that push you out of your comfort zone.
- Prepare to work hard and do not shy away from a challenge.

Dreams N Ambitions is back!!
Greetings and salutations to you all! It feels GREAT to be back on here writing a new post on the DNA blog. Man it's been way too long. I definitely did not think it would have been this long since I'd write my next post but hey it is what it is. As long as I'm here right now, with you..that's all that matters. DNA is back and on until we're all the way out. Let's get it!! I need you stay with me on this go round. Life is full of so choices which ultimately determine how you live and what you become. Everyday, every hour, every minute there's a chance to make a choice. The mind is very powerful. What you think you are is what you will become. When you believe you can do something, chances are you probably can. We can choose to be a positive force..or choose to be a negative force. We can choose to be free of fears and worries..or we can choose not to. We can choose to follow a path that's been created just for us...or we can choose to follow others. We can choose to do what we are passion about, what we truly care about...or we can choose to do what's easy and convenient for us at the time. It's all about choices we make. Those choices shape and mold the life we live. No one knows the future or what it may bring but I truly feel that it's better to make choices that you will not regret, regardless the outcome, than to make choices that you're heart does not align with. Dare to pursue your passion and your dream. Make the choice to live the life you want and take action now. Because before you know it, your whole life will pass you by and you will be left with nothing more than regret. Had to get that off my chest. Okay back to work! DNA all day! Peace.

Finding your purpose
Just wanted to share some motivating thoughts today..I was cooling this afternoon just thinking about life and who I was meant to be. For a while I've been thinking about myself and what my purpose or calling is in life. We all have these thoughts and ask that question. At times we feel like we might know but then, as events take place and circumstances change, we go back to questioning ourselves. It's a perplexing question that really has no definite answer.
After a lot thinking and analyzing, I've realized that we will never know our purpose or calling unless we get past of fears and doubts and challenge ourselves. Try new things, visit new places and go to further lengths. We will never discover our true potential unless we act on our ideas instead of overly thinking about them and we either forget about them or discourage ourselves. It can be scary to enter the unknown but until you do, you will never be able to answer the questions of the unknown possibilities. You will never know what could have been if you never allow for 'it' to be. Today I encourage all my readers to set aside your fears and doubts, think positive, focus on positive results that you want and go out and find your purpose.
