If ninety five percent of people are either failing or falling short, then what is it the five percent that achieve success do?
We all have 24 hours in our day, 168 hours in a week. Fundamentally we all perform pretty much the same actions everyday. We eat, sleep, think, talk and listen.
Gold medlist eat and sleep, as do people 30 pounds overweight. Successful entrepreneurs think, feel and have relationships with other people. So do people who are unemployed or even living on the street.
So what is the difference, it’s not hereditary, education, looks or inheritance. It’s the simple, positive actions we chose everyday, repeated over time. Its the simple error in judgement repeated over time.
We know what we are supposed to eat, fresh fruits, vegetables, more fish and poultry than beef etc.. that is simple. But why do so many of us chose to go out and chow down on cheeseburgers and fries every day?
Because it won’t kill us. at least not today. It may take 30 years. It’s not 1 junk food meal it’s the thousands over time. Not eating it won’t save you either today but compounded over time it can and probably will. A simple positive action or a simple error in judgment, simple but not easy.
Read something motivational and inspirational or watch a fictional drama on tv. Hit the treadmill in the morning or sit and watch the morning news eating a donut and drinking coffee. We could go on and on.
It’s those little things that will bring you success in your life, simple, tiny things that nobody will see, nobody will applaud or even notice. Things that at the time you may feel make no difference, like they don’t matter. They do.
