In my years of working corporate America, it has been an honor to shake the hands of successful individuals who have a mutual respect for people who work hard. Life doesn’t always give us what we want, but for those who realize that nothing takes the place of perseverance; you will find that you can achieve anything. If you think the world owes you a favor, it doesn’t. If you believe your day is tough, it isn’t. And if you doubt your chances for success, you will fail.
After dinner last night with a successful friend, I realized one thing. There are those of us who dream too much, and there are those who take action because they know what has to be done – no excuses. I don’t have a ‘Plan B’ on any life challenge; there is only ‘Plan A’ – I don’t have time to think about anything else.
The next time something happens where you didn’t get what you wanted, examine the steps you took. Did you truly give it everything? Or were you dreaming too much, and not take enough action? Talk to someone who accomplished the impossible. I guarantee they dedicated themselves in ways that others could not even imagine.
YOU are capable of achieving the impossible – all you have to do is BELIEVE!
