"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day."- Jim Rohn
If success was easy, everyone would be successful. The biggest obstacle to personal and professional success is simply a lack of discipline in doing the things needed to reach your target. If you stop for 3-5 minutes a day, and simply think about where you want to be--tomorrow, next week, next month, etc., and making a disciplined effort to stay the course, you're on your way to creating more success. And ALWAYS remember, Success begets success. The more you see, feel and touch success, the more you want it, the more you're willing to do to reach it.
I'm reminded of how success goes to those willing to practice, re-formulate, re-load and repeat. I'm reminded of the story of Thomas Edison, the inventor of the incandescent light bulb. He failed more than 6,000 times, before he finally discovered the light bulb. Think where we'd be without Mr. Edison's perseverance. The same can be said of your trials; stick with it, be willing to come at it with a different view point. And NEVER be afraid to take the shot, take the first step, be bold and adventurous.
Michael Jordan, the most prolific player in the NBA says it best, "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
You miss EVERY shot you don't take. Saddle up and get busy, step out of your comfort zone and take more shots. As you miss a few, you'll think about how to make it next time. The same can be said for life. Now get out there and take the shots you've wanted to try. Don't be afriad to fail, be willing to learn, explore and pave the road to success.
