Pursue Your Dreams Wholeheartedly

By Jordan Maylea Ramirez

These are just a few thoughts based on some things I have witnessed lately:

• A goal or dream worth having will not be without its obstacles. Refuse to be stopped by them. Go under them, over them, around them or knock them down — but whatever you do, REFUSE to remain stuck behind them.
• Sometimes success requires a big push to get you going. I’ve been taught that this push can be referred to as priming the pump… it takes extraordinary effort in the beginning, but once the water is flowing and you are enjoying the results of your hard work, it is well worth it.
• Become dogged in your pursuit of success. Oftentimes success will require you to get creative. Focus on the WHAT and let your subconscious mind go to work on the HOW. If you know in your mind that the WHAT is inevitable, the HOW will work itself out nearly every time.
• Seek the help of others through research and advisement. Rome was not built in a day, nor was it built by a single individual. Seek the help of those who are more wise than you — form a mastermind group and work off of the strengths of each individual. While one person alone may not possess all of the skills and resources necessary for your success, you can almost always possess them in a group.
• Finally, refuse to be discouraged. When you are forced to use creativity to conquer obstacles, remain positive and focused on your goal. Success happens in the mind before it happens in reality. When you know that you know that you know that success is inevitable for you, obstacles will not discourage you. If you feel you are being brought down by obstacles, strengthen your belief.

Jordan Maylea Ramirez lives with her husband Robert in Lubbock, Texas with their 3 dogs and two horses. Because both her parents have always been self-employed, she had an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age and began her first business at the age of 17. It was at that time that she first became fascinated with the subject of personal development and the impact a personal education can have on a person’s life. She grew up riding horses and competing in Dressage shows all across Texas and New Mexico. The sport continues to be one of the primary passions in her life and if she is not working or spending time with her family you can usually find her at the barn. Jordan has two younger siblings, Clayton and Paige, whom she is very close to, and she greatly enjoys spending time with her family. She and Robert enjoy entertaining friends at their home (especially during football season – Go Red Raiders!) and they love to travel the world and experience new countries and cultures together.

Her latest book is Lifetime of Achievement.

Guest Blogger Richard Blunt talks about new book

So… My next book tour is finally moving ahead, and I am happy to be here now to share with you a little bit about my new book:

About two years ago I introduced “Lucas Trent – Guardian in Magic”, my first fantasy story. For those of you that have not been around for that let me give you a quick recap: The story is about a pack of teenagers living in a world just like ours, who find out that Magic is something that really exists. Using their newfound power they seek out to help others in need and find out the hard way that it’s not always as easy as it appears to be…

My current book “Lucas Trent 3 – Grand Theft Magic” is (as the title might suggest…) the second sequel to that story. By now Lucas and his friends are firmly rooted in the art of magic, but still face the challenge every day to find a balance between their real lives as normal people and their secret identities as mages. And while this struggle might have seemed bad enough so far, it really picks up a nudge when it suddenly is no longer only about a secret, or maybe about a light injury after a fight with other of their age. When suddenly and unexpectedly one of them almost gets killed they start realizing that they have joined the grown-ups table. And when they think it couldn’t get any worse, It does…

When I went on my first book tour two years ago the first sequel to “Guardian in Magic” (called “Dangerous Potentials”) was already in the final stages of pre-production, so I had little chance to include the feedback I got from the critics during the tour. “Grand Theft Magic” was my first chance to incorporate that feedback and make the story better than its predecessors. So while this still is a story about friendship, loyalty and magic, and a story that is true to my style of writing in depth and consistency, it is now also a story that is packed with action, with danger and with struggle on many fronts. I started this story with the wish to make it the best of both worlds, something that is appropriate for young adults as well as being thrilling enough for adult readers. But decide for yourself if I got the right balance…
