It is very important to follow YOUR dreams and no on else's, it's great to feel inspired by others and be motivated to get your life together and elevate yourself but it's very important that you don't try to implement their blueprint into your life because everything is made for the specific person it's happening to, what works for them may not work for you and vise versa. If you are trying to take what someone else is doing and do the exact same thing IT WILL NOT work the same! It is very important to set time aside to figure out what you want to do with your life and trying to take yourself to a new level everyday, but it's equally as important to trust the process and trust God's timing, you can't expect change overnight but just because it isn't happening quickly doesn't mean it won't happen at all, sometimes God won't bless you with something just yet because you aren't ready and if you receive a blessing when you aren't ready for it you may miss it or mess it up.
One big factor in failure especially with women is jealousy, a lot of women feel that once one woman has it then it's no more left for them, just because someone gets the same position you wanted doesn't mean that you have to stop wanting to do those things, just because another woman has something doesn't mean that you won't. The worst thing to do is to compare yourself to others, your journey is different from theirs and you just never know what someone had to go through to get what they have. Find what you like to do and are interested in and trust your journey, you can't want the success and not want to go through the struggle. Everything happens for a reason.
