YES, I CAN!
11:48
A wise man once said NO pain, NO gain. We all want the amazing things
and pleasures life has to offer yet we are not ready or willing to work for it.
Many people would rather chill and wait for things to be handed to them on a
platter. How many can boldly say I am ready for whatever challenges that may
come my way. I will compare it to wanting the beauty of the ocean without the
awful roar of its many waters. You sit around moping, wondering why your
situation is different, day-dreaming about the beautiful life you should be
living. Yes, you deserve the best but only if you stop self-pity,
self-comparison, low self-esteem and unhealthy criticism of yourself. Instead
sit up, brace yourself and face the world.
You don't die if you fall in water, you die only if
you don't swim; success is a sweet word that rolls off our tongue several times
a day but we always forget that the best things don’t come easy. To enjoy the
benefits of success and wealth you need to be brave and take risks, because the
problem is irrelevant - it is how you respond to the problem that matters.
Someone I met this week told me that it is so common to see unsuccessful
men with talent. He added that even education is not enough to succeed
because the world is full of educated people roaming the streets jobless and
homeless. Only Persistence and determination together are
omnipotent!
This made me realize that there is nothing
special about having a brilliant idea if I cannot find a way to make this
brilliant idea a tangible reality that will affect those around me. We cannot
all be facing the same struggles, yet there is nothing new or different about
what you are facing. Somebody somewhere has been through it too (you're not the
first, you won't be the last). Success at anything will always come down
to: Focus & Productivity; and you control both. It isn’t
always about greatness, it is majorly about consistency.
The
world you desire can be won; it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is
yours! Right now, the picture might not be so clear; things might be looking
tight or even impossible. Just make up your mind and be ready to win. The
can-do spirit is all you need, because trust me there is no joy when your
success is handed to you on a platter. Sure, Freebies are nice, but you need to
also know that whatever is acquired free will not last very long.
So,
start saying YES and stop with the condemning NO. Your best stories will come
from your struggles; the seeds of your success are in your failures; your
praises will be birthed from your pains; keep going!
Life is a climb, but the view is great!
Put on your cape and fly!!
