Did you know that when you achieve your goals, the ripple effect can be felt far beyond your personal success? It’s not just about you – it’s about your family, your community, and the world that benefits from your gifts.

After 20+ years practicing sociology as a career consultant, human resources, and organizational development professional, I’ve seen how individual prosperity can uplift entire communities. When you thrive, you create opportunities not just for yourself, but for those around you. Your success can be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.

Think about it – when you land that dream job or graduate from that special program, you’re not the only one celebrating. Your family rejoices in your accomplishments, your friends are inspired by your determination, and your community gains a leader who can make a difference.

What about naysayers? As you start to let go of excuses and take charge of your life, not everyone will celebrate with you. Your success can demonstrate that it can be done, obstacles and all. For some, this disrupts their victim mentality and the excuse laden narrative they have internalized to stay comfortable. Their lack of celebration isn’t your problem. What they think about you is none of your business.

One of the best ways to tell if you’re on the right track with success is that the “higher” up you go, the more criticism you will get. People who are jealous of you will Focus your energy accordingly. If you focus your energy on your naysayers, they will feel more empowered. When you focus your energy on those things which bring you joy and well-being, you will be empowered.

But how do you get to joy, well-being, and achievement? It starts with setting clear goals and having the courage to pursue them relentlessly. It starts with a deep understanding and awareness of *who you are*. It starts with surrounding yourself with others who will love and celebrate you.

As a Chief Learning Officer, I guided organizations  to not only set their sights high but to achieve them with purpose and passion. As a career consultant and adjunct college professor, I’ve done the same on a micro level. The theme of my ministry is helping people and communities thrive.

✔️ What is your ministry?

✔️ When will you take action on your goals?

✔️ Who will celebrate and support you?

✔️ What goals are you working towards that will not only elevate you but those around you as well?

Remember, your success is not a solo journey. It’s a collective triumph.
