Are you who you want to be?

Are you who you want to be?
Hello, I was taking to an associate whom you would think had everything together, but to my surprise told me about all of his short comings and failures. "I am not living the life that I have always dreamt of," he said. I asked why not? What else was there for me to ask. I teach motivation and positive thinking purely because of this. There are so many people that live a life of mediocrity, which is fine if you are content, but most strive for much more. The root cause is always the same in these people, their thoughts. Let me ask you this; has any failure you've encountered ever killed you? No, not if you are reading this. Okay, why are you afraid to take a chance? The worst thing that could happen is that you would fail, so what! What if you didn't fail? What if you ended up being like Bill Hewlett and David Packard, with only five hundred and thirty eight dollars in working capitol. Packard started his fledgling company in his garage in Palo Alto, Ca. Today Hewlett-Packard is a multinational corporation with sales in excess of seventy billion dollars a year. What if David Packard decided he better not try, there isn't enough money, or whatever. Everything that gets in your way becomes an excuse, and all of those what if questions can turn to the negative. You see you are no different than anyone else, these men are not cosmically chosen. Every multi-millionaire has this in common. #1. They overcome fear and work long hours to achieve what most only dream. #2. They never look at failure in a negative way. Failure really is a positive thing, you learn what not to do. Look back at some failures and think about some positive lessons that you learned. If you learned "I,ll never do that again," good. Keep on trying, remember the old saying; "if at first you don't succeed try-try again." In other words do not give up. You can do anything - ANYTHING! You put your' mind and heart to. Have an awesome day, and a great tomorrow! You are awesome! You are accomplished! You are Successful. You can live your dreams!
