Key Things I've Learned From Studying The Lives of Great Achievers By Josh Hinds (c) 2004I've long been a student of those who have achieved high levels of success. Over
years I've noticed several common threads in makeup of people I've studied. I'd like to recount several of those traits for you in hope that in identifying them, you can implement these qualities into your own life and in turn be better as a result.
Responsibility, Persistence, and Belief in your own greatness - In virtually all cases I've studied, every person at some point was faced with obstacles that could have kept them from reaching level of success they are at now.
Certainly it would have been easy for each of these individuals to simply blame their life's circumstances for their lot in life and choose to surrender to idea that greatness was not something they deserved.
Notice I didn't say that "super achievers" I've studied did not have issues or pitfalls occur in their lives. No, what makes them different is that they accept short falls and get on with business of overcoming and correcting those things as quickly as possible.
My friend, fact is that none of us can control where we come from, or poverty that we may or may not have been born into. However, what we can do is to begin moving past what stands in our way now, and start doing what it takes to improve our place in life. To accept where you are now, because you might happen to have less then someone else is simply not an excuse that I hope you will allow to stand in your way.
I assure you that no matter what might be standing in your way, there is someone in world that has a story of things that stood in their way that will put yours or mine to shame... Yet somehow they plugged on until they found "magic key" that unlocked what was blocking their way.
