Dare to Dream!

dream—the why that will keep you going. Why do you have this dream in the first place? If you can’t find a good enough why then you will never get over the wall. You will never start, much less finish and succeed. If your why is half-baked, you may even begin, but you will not finish. You’ll quit because the journey will simply be too difficult. Mark my words. And why will you quit? Because to succeed is going to be HARD! Nothing, and I mean nothing, in life you can truly enjoy or appreciate is going to be easy to get. If it is easy to get, it wasn’t a dream in the first place. It was simply something you just hadn’t done yet, or something you got through sheer dumb luck. And if that’s the case, frankly you don’t deserve it any more than the next person, so it will probably be wasted and gone soon. Just look at the history of lottery winners. How many of them have money just five years later? What about children who inherit money? There must be an ancient Chinese proverb that addresses this, but I don’t know it, so here is the Ken Forrest version: Easy get, easy go! Success doesn’t just happen. It takes work, sweat, tears, pain and sacrifice. Are you ready for that? Tony Robbins is my favorite mental mentor when it comes to the value of taking action. He is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, personal coaches/motivators in the world. He has mastered the ability to articulate and inspire people to take action! So I’m not even going to pretend to be as smart as Tony at this. JUST GO BUY HIS BOOKS AND CDs on taking action! Then READ his books, LISTEN to his CDs, GO to his seminars if you can and then APPLY his principles for taking action. Make him one of your mental mentors. Get all his stuff and learn it, use it, apply it today. You gotta get over the wall. Quit being a chicken. Don’t be
