Are you REALLY hungry for success
An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."
He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way."
"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."
The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eye and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"
The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."
It’s easy to look at your situation and think that things just aren’t destined for me to live the type of life I want. But just like in the story, fear and doubt grow because that’s where you are putting your energy. You have more control than you give yourself credit for simply because of your mindset. Here are 5 manageable things you can do today to starve your fears:
1 ) Think of the life you want to live.
2 ) Describe it on paper, be specific. (Debt free, travel, promotion, savings, etc.)
3 ) Determine any barriers that are stopping you from living the life you want.
4 ) Think of one goal you can focus on to remove those barriers, make it SMART. Don’t know what a SMART goal is? Google can help you with that…See!
5 ) Find an accountability partner to share your goal and vision with. And to check your progress. I can help you with that...See!
