Key Things I've Learned From Studying The
Lives of Great Achievers
by: Josh Hinds
I've
long been a student of those who have achieved high levels of success. Over the
years I've noticed several common threads in the makeup of the people I've
studied. I'd like to recount several of those traits for you in the hope that
in identifying them, you can implement these qualities into your own life and
in turn be better as a result.
Responsibility,
Persistence, and Belief in your own greatness - In virtually all the cases I've
studied, every person at some point was faced with obstacles that could have
kept them from reaching the level of success they are at now.
Certainly
it would have been easy for each of these individuals to simply blame their
life's circumstances for their lot in life and choose to surrender to the idea
that greatness was not something they deserved.
Notice
I didn't say that the "super achievers" I've studied did not have
issues or pitfalls occur in their lives. No, what makes them different is that
they accept the short falls and get on with the business of overcoming and
correcting those things as quickly as possible.
My
friend, the fact is that none of us can control where we come from, or the
poverty that we may or may not have been born into. However, what we can do is
to begin moving past what stands in our way now, and start doing what it takes
to improve our place in life. To accept where you are now, because you might
happen to have less then someone else is simply not an excuse that I hope you
will allow to stand in your way.
I
assure you that no matter what might be standing in your way,
there is someone in the world that has a story of things that stood in their
way that will put yours or mine to shame... Yet somehow they plugged on until
they found the "magic key" that unlocked what was blocking their way.
As you
move forward on your success journey and begin to believe that you are cut out
for greatness be sure to reach for and review the
countless stories of those that have overcome what was in their way and reached
their own definition of success. Let these examples be your fuel as you move
towards your own dreams.
The
reality is that you were born for great things, even if you can't fathom this
to be true at this time in your life -- I assure you it is still so.
I'm not
saying for a moment that it's always going to be an easy path to follow. After
all, if life were all a bed of roses we'd all be living the good life. But
sadly, that's not so, life takes work, it takes commitment, it takes a lot of
persistence, and a commitment to oneself to be the best one possibly can be.
I'll
leave you with this final point. If you knew just how much greatness is inside
you I'm convinced it would absolutely amaze you -- you would live each day
taking more chances because you knew that with each attempt you're one step
closer to unlocking greater success. So my challenge for you at this very
moment is to get on with the business of being the best you can be. Dream big
dreams, plan and put the action necessary to bring out the great achievements
you are capable of.
Yours
in success, Josh Hinds
