What is "It"?

Here's a short quiz:

"It" doesn't happen overnight.
"It" takes time and work.
"It" requires guidance and can not do it alone.
"It" requires tenacity and patience.
"It" requires the ability to adapt and change.
"It" requires perseverance in the face of odds.

What is "It"?

"It" is your dreams, successes and passion.

I don't know many people who are overnight successes. I don't know anybody who made it to the top without paying his or her dues. Maybe I don't many people??? Maybe.

But this I know: that on the road to success one must weather storms. Sometimes a bad storm will hit and you must adapt and change to the oncoming winds. Sometimes on the road to success and happiness you have to hunker down and persevere the storm of negativity, endure the showers of criticism & stomach a load of skepticism.

But after all is said and done, if you can stand tall, you will have learned more about yourself, and you are that much closer to achieving your dream. If you are stuck in a storm and need some guidance and direction, give me a shout here.

I will end with an appropriate quote I have in my collections:

"Nature always takes her time. Great oaks don't become great overnight. They also lose a lot of leaves, branches and bark in the process of becoming great."

- Andrew Matthews

Press on with it!!

Because of Me

"Things are not happening to you. Things are happening because of you".

EagleBoy chooses to interpret the above as because of me, good things are happening around me. Because of me, things that benefit others are taking place. Because of me, someone's life is better, happier, fuller. Because of me.

Now how's that?
