Author Michael H. Forde Reveals Three Tips For Having A Successful Year

Motivational speaker and author Michael H. Forde shares with us three tips for reaching our goals and having a successful and fulfilling year. Michael, who has an increasingly large following on Instagram and Facebook, breaks down the tips that will take your mental growth to the next level.

Who is Michael H. Forde? He is a recipient of the Gates Millennium Scholarship and an ambassador for the National College Resources Foundation, a nonprofit organization that has helped minority students secure over one billion dollars in scholarships and grants. He is also the author of the book, “Success Begins From Where You Are!”. Using social media, Forde spreads motivation and positivity, having become one of the fastest growing positivity influencers. 

Michael H. Forde is living proof that, as his book title proclaims, success truly begins from where you are. His brilliant career and outstanding achievements at a young age are a testament to the fact that everyone is capable of succeeding. Graduating from high school at the age of 16, earning his bachelor’s degree at the age of 19, obtaining a master’s degree at the age of 22, and becoming a doctoral student at the age of 25 has been the ultimate ammunition to his personal mission to spread the message, through themes of health and wellbeing, that one’s potential is absolutely limitless.

“The first tip is to know your purpose”, Michael says. “Knowing your purpose is the fuel for your vehicle of growth. It will allow you to move forward into a direction of consistency as well as intentionality. Without a purpose, your vehicle of growth will not move forward very quickly.”

Forde says that the second tip in having a successful year is being okay with asking for help. “Asking for help should never be seen as a weakness; it should be seen as a strength. You are strong enough to know that it takes a horizontal network to move vertically. Don’t let pride get in the way of your potential; don’t let pride hinder your growth.”

The last tip, says Michael H. Forde, is to “have an accountability partner for your tracked consistency”. “Teaming up with an accountability partner to track your commitment to your goals will ensure that you are staying on top of what you had originally set out to do”, he says. “It will create opportunities for clarity, connection, and focus.”

“There is hope that exists for individuals who feel hopeless. There is a path for those who feel as if there is no way out. There is a light for those who feel as if they are trapped in a dark tunnel. My advice for the hopeless, for the trapped, for those who feel as if there is nothing that goes their way, is this – keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t let a bad storm prevent you from seeing the rainbow. Don’t let obstacles and barriers prevent you from winning the race. In life, we may go through situations that can leave us feeling not only hopeless, but helpless as well. But the beauty in all of this is that through belief, perseverance, and the relentless nature of self, we can prevail. It’s not easy – the journey never is. However, remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
