What does it take to be successful? What does it even mean to be successful? What would life be like if we had no fear of any possible challenge that came down the road? How great would it feel to know deep down in your gut that whatever came down the river, whatever threw itself at you tomorrow, you would be able to overcome and prevail.
I know, that when it comes to doing something different, getting a better job, opening that business, losing the weight, running the race, winning the girl (or guy) and being the hero of the day. The answer is so simple, and yet soooo difficult. when it comes to the mechanics of the universe, the way the world chooses who to reward and who to penalize, it is based more on the will and resolve of the individual than any of the circumstances of that persons life. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Dale Carnegie, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and a hundred other self made men and women had one thing in common, and this was there desire to accomplish the goal they had in mind NO MATTER WHAT! They didn't come from rich families, or have special schooling. They didn't have access to some greater power or coaching from a divine force that set them apart. What they did have, was a goal, and that goal did not change from month to month, or year to year. they stayed definite in there direction. What's more, when things did not go exactly there way, they spent very little time brooding over there woes, or cursing others for there part in the matter. No, they conquered the negative side of human nature, rather than becoming marred in it for weeks or months, they bounced back from a positive mindset and found a solution.
"The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”
- Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.
The truth is, when you are stuck thinking negatively, or in a defeatist mindset, you will never find a solution to your problem. you'll just sit there spinning your wheels and wondering why you keep sinking deeper and deeper into the muck. you
cannot solve a problem while still in the mindset which created it.
“No problem can be solved from the same level of conciousness that created it." - Einstein
The truth is, that when we decide not to be taken out by a thing, then and only then can we think clearly enough to find a solution which can turn the negative circumstance into a positive outcome. And believe me when I tell you, every negative problem comes with it the seed for an equivalent benefit. The trick is simply to become obsessed with accomplishing that goal, and then settle for NOTHING other than success. Stay positive and the answers and the solutions will come to you.
Everything starts with choice. Free will, and the decision to do something. If the decision is strong enough, and the individual unyielding in there resolve, then all challenges will fold and all obstacles will fall in the face of this resolve. Nothing can stand against the man who has definiteness of purpose and an unyielding heart to accomplish something. Just try it, I dare you.
