The "Dirty Little Secret of Success"

The "Dirty Little Secret" of Success: None of the Secrets of Success Will Work Until You Work.

Henry Ford was quoted as saying "You can not build a reputation on what you are going to do", he was right. You can not fulfill your destiny by only talking and thinking about it; getting where and what you want in this life requires you work for it.

Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi once said "The only place success come before work is in the dictionary", his words where and always will remain true. Unfortunately many people today falsely believe they can attract everything they want in life through the power of positive thoughts alone. While positive and proper thinking is absolutely essential to achieving true success, it is only one part of a more expansive set of disciplines you must learn and master if you are to successfully achieve your objectives and goals.

The most important of these disciplines is work; it is you taking action. Your capacity to put in the work necessary will be the primary determining factor in your success or failure.

Yes, this is the "Inconvenient Truth" of success. YOU must take action, YOU must get off YOUR ass, and YOU must work for what YOU want!

Quite simply action is what "separates the rock stars from the groupies".

Action is what inspires us, action is what is memorable, action is a prerequisite of success. Men and women of action are revered and remembered, while those of inaction are seldom noticed and soon forgotten.

Think of it like this, if you were standing on the sidewalk and there were two cars of the exact same make and model, one was speeding down the street at 45 miles per hour and the other was parked, which car would catch you attention?

Of course, the moving one, because what draws our attention is action. The most successful people in the world, from Steve Jobs and Apple in the world of business to Drew Brees and Kobe Bryant in the NFL and NBA; they all got where they are today because they took action-they put in the work required to get what they wanted, and so too must you.

When the doctors told me that I would be in a wheelchair the rest of my life, I knew I would never regain my ability to walk by only think about doing it and hoping it would happen, I had to put in the work. Years of hard work, pain, frustration, struggle, determination and perseverance was the price I had to pay to get what I wanted, to walk again. I did the work and I got the result.

What is that you want and what must you do to get it?

The time for talk is done, the time for action has come. Choose today to take action and get to work creating the future you say you want.
