The Real Deal
“Doing the same thing over and over; but
expecting a different result is the truest definition of
insanity.”
Albert
Einstein
Ask anyone anywhere and they will probably tell you that
they would love to be successful. Whether they believe that it is money or fame
or just a comfortable life, we all want to be successful. The question then
becomes, why are most people not successful in life? Why are there people that
spend their entire life struggling just to survive? Since some people are born
without some of the advantages, it would be easy to say that it all comes down
to circumstances and some people do not have a chance just because of where
they were born. The problem with this mindset is that there are very successful
people from all walks of life and with many different upbringings. I would be one of those people.
If you spent some time learning about successful people and
their lives, you would find a reoccurring theme: they got to a point where they
stopped listening to the negativity around them and started moving towards what
they wanted. No matter what. No matter who told them they couldn’t do it. No
matter how penniless they were. While nothing happens overnight, once you start
to focus on what you want instead of
what you do not want, you will find that things begin to move in the right
direction for you. Then it is just a matter of not giving up on yourself, and
making sure that you do not put limitations on anything… including a timeline.
Have you ever found yourself saying, “This is it. If I don’t make it by the end
of the year, I quit.”? This is the complete opposite of the mindset of
successful people. Life is a marathon, not a sprint, so why is it horrible to
wait just a little longer if your current goal is what you really want.
