"The question of success is not will it?... Or even will there be... Or even will it ever?... The question is... Will you?
Doug Firebaugh
There are a lot of unpredictable variables on our way to success. Many of them are outside our control. The only variable in our control is ourselves and our own effort level. We don't know how much others will help and how others will work for us. We cannot be sure of the degree of commitment by others. We cannot be sure of how far someone will go out of their way to make us succeed.
But we can be sure of ourselves. There can be no suspense about ourselves. We have to decide if we want to achieve something and whether we are willing to sweat it out. We have to decide if we are willing to go to any extent to help ourselves. We have to decide if we are willing to strain every nerve to reach out to our goal. We have to decide if we are willing to meet everyone to seek their help. We have to be sure if we are willing to do everything that is needed to make our dream a reality.
We have to shift our focus from others to us. From environment around us to the environment we want to create. We have to shift our focus from the help that is available to the help we want to have. We have to shift our focus from the willingness of others to our own willingness.
Just try to make this small shift in your mind and see what happens and how the world responds to your command! You will be amazed!
