You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. - Richard Bach
What's holding you back? I wrote in this week's newsletter about pushing yourself to achieve your dreams in the faces of those who think you can't/shouldn't/won't. You have the power to make it happen. It's up to you.
The acquisition of riches has been to many not an end to their miseries, but a change in them: The fault is not in the riches, but the disposition. - Seneca
"If only I'd win the lottery." "If only I'd get a raise." "If only I'd make that big sale."
"Never mistake activity for achievement." – John Wooden
Are you actually accomplishing something or just spinning your tires? When you are trying to achieve something, take note of what steps you are taking and if you are getting closer. If it's not pushing you forward, knock it off. Think about it.
"Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after." - Dr. Robert Anthony
One phrase I've heard over and over again in recent weeks is, "When I win the lottery…" It's a painful epidemic to watch in this country, as people simply sit around and wait for some type of miracle to change their lives, like winning the lottery or some sort of government bailout.
The truth is the only way your life is going to change is if you change it. It's great to dream and hope for a better future, but you need to be the one to put the steps in place. Take control of your life and set goals for yourself. Make the change, instead of waiting around for it.
