2 Simple Secrets To Success

Stop for just a moment, take a look around and ask yourself if this is the quality of life you were hoping for. If you answered “No”, then my question to you is “why not?” “What are you doing to change your life?” Most people who are asked what they have done to change their lives say “it’s no use because...” and so it goes..., excuses. One excuse after another.

People will also spend a lot of time blaming someone or something rather than take responsibility for their lives and take action. Many people feel more comfortable staying put where they are right now than do something about it. They would rather complain and get sympathy rather than become successful.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. The first step in getting out of this rut is to stop making excuses and assume responsibility for the quality of your life. You can change your life situation today. How do I know? I know because others have done it. I have done it!

There will always be obstacles, they never go away, but none that can’t be overcome. The only requirement is the desire to change. Mark Twain once said “It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.” If your “want to bring about change” is strong enough, you can achieve almost anything you set your mind to.

The second step to getting out of the rut is step out in faith and, just do it. There is no time like the present to change course. You might not succeed the first time, but you must keep trying. Success will come with persistence. Remember the old saying “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Don’t worry about making a mistake, they are lessons to learn from. Albert Einstein once said “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” Mistakes and failures are tools that teach you how not to do something so you can find how to do it the right way.

So step out. Take a chance, and as William Durant, the founder of General Motors said “Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it.”
