THE FORMULA TO SUCCESS. ALISON THOMAS STYLE. =)

I recently posted a status on my Facebook stating: 

"Took some time to self reflect at where I started,places I been things ive done people I surrounded myself with... and REALIZED how I SKYROCKETED TO where I am today, places I go to now,projects I work on currently.. rubbing elbows with the elite.....living on my own at 21 in one of the most expensive cities in the world. only a true hustler has self discipline drive and ambition to make nothing into an empire,I can honestly say I've broken the middle class link in my family chain, everyone after me will be born into success and i only ever did it for all you....WELCOME TO FIRST CLASS THOMAS'S. If you truly WANT IT YOU'LL FIND A WAY TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS AND CHANGE LIVES FOREVER "
After this went up a lot of people (whom I was just chilling and not doing anything productive with) messaged me and asked me WOW, how did you get to the place you are now making and building your empire? As they were still sitting in the same spot several years ago, doing the same thing.  I felt that this would be a great article for this blog and here we are.

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION

1. I NEVER GAVE UP- When life knocked me on my ass several times, I got right back up swinging

2.GAVE THINGS THAT I COULDNT UNDERSTAND TO GOD- A lot of things happen to us that do not make sense, and seems like God is absent. Ive learned that through suffering God is drawing us closer to Him, because we turn and completely trust in Him when we have no other option. He is strengthening us, pushing us beyond our limits showing our true strength and potential to ourselves. Just like any other coach would push you to your max...your sweating your tired you even vomited but you made it through and proved to yourself that you were stronger and better in the end. That is all God is doing is coaching you. So when you dont know what to do or why things are happening GIVE IT TO GOD, TALK TO THE ALMIGHTY COACH and He will lead you on to victory.

3. HUSTLER AMBITION- Im not referring to any illegal activity because all that will get you is jail, death, or institutions (TIME WASTED FOR BEING IGNORANT) which will literally ruin your life and hold you back forever. IM REFERRING TO MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. Making the best of every situation, seeing it from all angles and working it in your favor. Its an art to be able to sell someone nothing, or to make a feast out of 3 ingredients.

4. SACRIFICIAL DISCIPLINE- This is hard to do especially if no one or thing is holding you accountable to see if your actually doing it.... Ive learned no one cares if you do it or you dont THIS IS YOUR LIFE AND YOUR ONLY HURTING YOURSELF IN THE END IF YOU CHEAT YOURSELF IN THE PRESENT. You have to SACRIFICE  certain luxuries and pleasures in order to sustainable make it a stability in the near future. If you want that finer things lifestyle wait. work. watch the finer things become average.

5. FORGIVENESS-  Your going to make mistakes, which is good... the key is not to make the same mistake twice... if you make a lot of mistakes your learning a ton of valuable lessons.. trust me ive made millions and learned lessons no human could teach me. You have to learn to forgive, forget, forge on.

6. MOTIVATIONAL DRIVE- If i was not motivated I would still be living at home doing nothing. Motivation is wanting something as bad as you want to live and breathe. once you established that level of drive YOU WILL SUCCEED AT ANYTHING YOU DO. when life knocks you down get the F^&* back up and BUCK BACK...crying and escaping reality with drugs or alcohol or busying yourself with mindless things is not going to make it better...THE STRONG SURVIVE AND MAKE IT ....DONT BE THE WEAK ONE WHO GETS LEFT BEHIND.

7. CONFIDENCE- this is key, I have held several positions i was not qualified for but i walked into the interview like i owned the damn business and got the job....human nature naturally responds positively to confidence its an assurance that we know who we are and what were doing.. if you dont have any fake it till you make it..once you force yourself to be confident and you see how people respond to you it will build your confidence.. also i am strong believer in putting good out there good will return so boost peoples confidence by complimenting them or even smiling.

8.SIZING UP COMPETITION- study your competition and know them better than they know themselves. The world praises these phony celebrities and other people who "made it" my attitude is OK AND WHY NOT ME ...If they could do it why cant i..If Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Oprah and what not changed this world why cant I... we all came out of a woman....we all have the same opportunity.

9. TRUST IN GOD- THIS IS KEY HIS WILL IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET ON BOARD AND WORK WITH HIM SO YOU CAN PRODUCE FRUIT THAT WILL NEVER ROT. EVERY KNEE BENDS TO THE NAME OF JESUS ALL EVIL AND DEMONIC SHIT HAVE TO BOW BEFORE HIM.. TALK ABOUT POWER... NOW THATS ONE GUY FOR SURE I WANT ON MY SIDE..JESUS I TRUST YOU!

10. LOVE- love yourself, love what you see in the mirror, love others, even when its hard to force yourself.....SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE YOU ASPIRE TO BE LIKE FOR YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLES ARE A MIRROR IMAGE OF WHO YOU ARE. If you hang out with people who are ok with nothing then you to will have nothing.. If you hang out with like minded entrepreneurs and go getters than you too will develop that mindset and success.

IF YOUR NOT HAPPY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE TODAY AND YOUR THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN CHANGE COURSE

Everything Happening is Meant to be

Whether good or bad situations and circumstances you find yourself in know that God permits all things and you are there, wherever it may be for a reason.

Even through HARDSHIP AND STRUGGLES just simply ask.. "WHY am I here God, What work must I do?"....Do not forget Matthew 7:7, Ask and you shall be answered, Knock and the door will be opened, Seek and you shall find.

How refreshing to know that's all we simply have to do is ASK. 

For God takes care of the birds and a the blades of grass, what makes you think He will not take care of you? Have faith my friend for God never abandons, He is always there, Living and working in us (Holy Spirit) the power of God that runs through our veins into our heart and souls leading and guiding us on the way to heaven, our eternal happiness. I now want to recall you to St. Paul who was sent out to spread the Gospel and in doing so at that time under Jewish law he was persecuted and thrown in Jail for proclaiming the truth. Now lets place ourselves in his sandals for a moment and unite ourselves with his mind, how do you think he felt??...Jesus tells him to go out and spread the good news and by listening to Him he is now at one of the worst places we could ever imagine to be? A JAIL CELL WRONGLY CONVICTED FROM DOING SOMETHING GOD TOLD ME TO DO?!?!??!?!

 The human nature mind of this material world would probably think..."Wow, thanks Jesus so much for spreading your word, look where it got me! "But St. Paul enlightened through the gift of the Holy Spirit knew that he was brought there for a reason... to minister and teach people in the jails about God and the faith and Mercy, and by doing so he led many souls to heaven and Jesus...what a beautiful thing, for I know if you asked me what i want to do in this earthly life, among many, things the glue that holds all my endeavors together is they will all ultimately HELP PEOPLE.
