I recently put this as my facebook Status

“SUCCESS IS NOT BUILT ON CONVENIENCE!!! - Success doesn’t care if you can’t find a baby sitter. It doesn’t care that X Factor is on. It doesn’t care that you’ve got a headache and it doesn’t care if the weather is rubbish!!! Success only cares that you…”

The only thing success cares about, in my opinion, is that you are 100% committed to it!

That means you do what needs to be done to bring you towards your goals whether you feel like it or not afterall commitment is having the discipline to do what you may not want to do and as if you’re married to your goals, you do not stray from the path you have chosen.

Bob Proctor says that you choose whether your day will be a success or a failure by making sure you do everything you need to do in any given day. If you do what needs to be done, your day is a success otherwise, it’s a failure and that again is about being committed to success and your goals.

So, if you’re serious about success, Take 100% Responsibility and commit to your goals!

Keep shining!

Greetings all.

This week, My cousin’s son posted pictures of cars he’d love to own when he’s older on facebook. They were all top of the range super cars! Lamborghini’s, Aston Martin’s Ferrari’s and other exotic cars. I smiled but then saw the comments on his page.

Now, this little guy is still in school and it amazed me to see some of the negative comments from his peers!
Comments like “You wish!” and “that’ll never happen”…

I could only lend him the following advice,

I told him that it was fantastic that he was aiming so high but to look around him and see how many people he knew actually owned these cars… Then I told him that the chances are, not many. The secret therefore to achieving your goals is to not listen to people that tell you that it can’t be done!

And isn’t that the case with most of the goals we have in our lives? As soon as we go out there and share our goals or work towards our goals, we face a barrage of negative criticism, sometimes even from loved ones!

You know the kind “That’ll never work!” or “What thinks you’ve got the right to do that?” or “I had an uncle who tried that once, he failed, so will you” and sometimes they’re wrapped in kindness but as equally deadly to your dreams and these ones sound like “We’re simple people, just be happy with what you have”! (Now I know the last one actually sounds like okay advice. In fact, an attitude of gratitude is vital however, it should not stop you from dreaming big!)

It reminds me of the story of the little frogs who once had a race up a high tower.

There once was bunch of tiny frogs,…

… who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants…

The race began…

Honestly, No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

“Oh, WAY too difficult!!

They will NEVER make it to the top.”

or:

“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one…

… Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher…

The crowd continued to yell

“It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up…

…But ONE continued higher and higher and higher…

This one wouldn’t give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?

It turned out…

That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be

negative or pessimistic…

ALWAYS be…

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams!

So, the next time you have a goal or a big dream, be like the tiny frog and keep on running towards your goal and be deaf to negative criticism!

Until next time, Keep Shining!
