We all dream of
good life; things we'll do, places we'll see! There isn't a sweeter dream than feeling of having choices we didn't before. Success! We all want it, crave it, and dream about it! Why do so many fail; what does it take to get there?There's no doubt our ability to imagine something is seed of inspiration; though success needs much more than imagination to bear fruit. If it was that simple, we'd all be living a life of abundance and fulfillment.
OK, so it's not imagination. What about work? If we take an idea and work with it, could that be answer? Well, it does take lots of work to get there; better roll up your sleeves!
Thomas Alva Edison, great inventor, said it best: "Most people don't recognize opportunity when it comes, because it's usually dressed in overalls and looks a lot like work." However, work isn't main ingredient. You're getting warm but still not there!
The secret ingredient, even more famous than Colonel Sanders' recipe, is attitude! The attitude you have toward your work is what provides first step on your journey to success! Of course, previous lines beg for this question: What kind of attitude should you have toward achieving your dreams; involvement or commitment?
Believe me, there's a big difference between involvement and commitment. Like night and day! I can't remember where I first heard it put this way:
When you sit down to a ham and egg breakfast, consider chicken involved; there's no question pig's committed!
The reason for last couple of paragraphs is to make you aware of a modern illness connected with many forms of work; clock watcher mentality.
You wake up dreading another day at work. You clock in/out at a certain time. Do best you can during your time there and then it's finite, done! Crank up car for drive home!
Well, that's involvement; just another cog in industrial machine. Your Business deserves much better than that!
