How does life roll out for you – by Chance or Change. Are you directed by events or do you direct what happens throughout your day? Definitely something to think about. Todays message is directed toward all of us that strive to do and be better than yesterday. Not an easy task. So many things get throw at us throughout our days. A friend asking for help this evening; a child’s car that broke down and they need help with getting it fixed; your boss moves the deadline up for a project; your best friend lost their grandmother and is hurting, needing comfort … The list can seem endless some days. So, how can we deal with all of this and stay on our path working toward our goals and dreams. Listen to Jim Rohn:
Quote: Your Life Doesn’t Get Better by Chance, It Gets Better by Change!
Everyday I wake up ready to attack my day. Hit the ground running, then – BAM – something happens that I need to deal with, then the next thing hits, and so on. Now I am just putting out fires. And at the end of the day, I find that I have accomplished little that I set out to do during that day. This can be very frustrating. It’s like spinning your wheels and getting nowhere. That’s being busy but not being productive. That leads us to the next quote that follows the one before:
Quote #2: To Be Effective, You Need to Plan Your Day; Then Work Your Plan
The majority of people out there look at success as lucky, by Chance, being at the right place at the right time. Well, let me tell you that is total crap! The only time that Success comes before Work is in the dictionary. Furthermore, if you don’t plan your day – and I mean every moment of your day – then you are planning to fail. The great Pete Rose once responded to a reporter who commented on his “lucky” hit that he got during the game. And Pete Rose said, “yeah, I find I get luckier and luckier the more I practice.”
NO Secrets
There are no secrets to Success. Losers and quitters always blame their circumstance or others for not achieving Success. When Success has always been about, planning your day. Staying focused with your plan, and working your plan to keep pushing toward your goals and dreams. No one else is going to do it for you – It’s Your Dreams! Live your life. Change your priorities. Take control of what you do each and everyday – that’s how you continuously move one step at a time forward to reach your dreams.
