### <center>One of my top goals for a while now has been to go full-time on Steem</center>

---

To become self-sufficient as an entrepreneur by improving people's lives and having fun in the process is something I would be extremely proud of achieving.

Wouldn't that be the ideal way to spend your days? To spend each day completely sold-out for others while creating products / services that people can't wait to consume?

For me that would be a dream come true. You see though...the difference between an average dreamer and myself, is that I actually **believe** that my dreams will come true.

I believe that God has a purpose and a mission for my life and Steem plays a major role in that journey. It's crazy how much I have grown over this past year. The entire direction of my life was changed after joining this platform.

For some, working a 9-5 is what they know and love, therefore they want to continue working that job for the rest of their lives. As for me, I know that I'm destined for freedom... To live the life of a full-time entrepreneur.

**I know for a fact that the things I desire most in life I will attain.** It seems that everything I write down in my journal ends up manifesting in reality. Writing is one of my favorite creative outlets as it allows me to express my thoughts in the deepest, most meaningful ways.

For example, I wrote down the exact type of mate I wanted to attract and marry back in my early 20's. Call it the law of attraction, God, or both, but I now am married to that person and we have 3 beautiful children together. Coincidence? Not in the least.

I was focused on what I wanted, and I believed with all of my heart that those desires would make their way into my life in due time. Going full-time on Steem is no different in terms of something I strongly desire and focus on.

It's the same for you my friend. When you want to go big, you have got to believe big as well. The moment doubt creeps into your mind, I want you to erase it and replace it with thoughts of who you really are.

It takes a certain level of confidence and tough skin to be an entrepreneur. When adversity finds its way into your life, don't let it cripple you. Instead, allow it to mold and mature you into a strong, indestructible human being.

Believing big means that you are putting your heart and soul into something and you worry little about what others think. It's your story, not theirs. Believing big means that you know you will be successful at the thing you desire most and you aren't afraid to share your vision with others.

When you are believing at this level, negative emotions simply can't exist within you. For example, the cells in your body can form cancer in an acidic environment. That is where cancer cells thrive. But, if you flood your body with alkaline-rich foods then the acid is obliterated and cancer has no chance of survival.

I want you to flood your mind with alkaline-rich thoughts which then produce healthy, well-executed actions. You must first think and believe in order for your actions to be in alignment with those positive thoughts.

Thank you for reading this as I hope it inspired you to go for your dreams and to actually believe they will come true. Please feel free to add to the discussion below in the comments or simply smack that upvote button if you liked this.
