SAY NO TO NOT SUCCEEDING
WITH YOUR DREAMS.
In life, we cannot avoid a so true fact which is this… We
will encounter at various moments within our lives the
one thing that we strive to avoid which is opposition.
We may not be used to hearing this particular suggestion
that I am about to say either.
“Appreciate opposition when it shows up at your door step
in life.” I would like to even add further to my suggestion by
saying welcome opposition. When we look at the many people
who are religiously involved in weight lifting, they all know
that the principle in weight lifting is resistance. In weight
lifting resistance is what builds strength. Have you ever heard
this statement before? “No Pain – No Gain.”
Some of the greatest achievers in the world today and in world
history overcame some of the greatest odds to accomplish the
success that many of us covet so badly that also want to
accomplish great things in this life. These history making
achievers should inspire us. The inspiration that we receive
from their renowned stories that you and I benefit from, would
not have been available to enjoy if these history changers did
not say no to not succeeding.
I get joyous when I discuss with other fellow colleagues and
business associates the story of Mr. Walt Disney. After having
a dream and vision to create a Theme Park for people to be able
to bring their families to for a wonderful trip, vacation, fun,
relaxation and enjoyment, He went to work on making his dream
and vision a reality. Now Disney World is the most visited Theme
Park in the world today.
What’s inspiring however though is this. When Walt Disney
approached banks and other institutions that were able to
lend him money to visionaries like himself for his dream of
a Theme Park, he got turned down over 300 times. Wow! He
was determined to make his dream become a reality even
though he did not succeed in getting the loan from the first
200 plus lending institutions that turned him down. He could
have said, “ I am tired of getting turned down for a loan for my
dream so I’ll just forget about.”
Nope. He was resilient and determined to not accept no as his
final answer.Whatever your ambitions, desires or dreams are
personally remember that you can get there. Do not let opposition
stop you. It may slow down how quickly you want to attain what
you are trying to do but don’t let it stop you. Success can be grabbed
if no is not accepted by you.
Succeeding at what you want should not be looked at and compared
to a race but a marathon. Success takes time. Do some succeed quicker
than others? Yes, of course they do; but staying the course is what is most
important. If you stay the course accomplishment will eventually come.
The reason I can share these statements with you is because I have seen
it happen in my life with my own dreams. I wanted to get my own home
business off the grown and running because I desire to be able to leave a
business one day to my four children to inherit and run if they wanted it.
It took me several years of trying but you know what I got there. My home
business is doing great and it is growing all the time on a daily basis. The only
reason my home business is where it is at today is because I refused to say no
to not succeeding. Did it take time for me to get it to the point where I have it
at right now? “You betcha.” However I am really enjoying it so much because
I encountered opposition so many times that often I’ve had to stop and look
in the mirror and ask myself, “Self, what made you continue to keep going?”
I realized that I had been blessed with the mind set of staying resilient.
In addition to that I grew along the way because I realized how the opposition
and resistance was building more strength inside of me along my journey. I am
so glad for that particular trait that I realize is a part of me. Always remember
this very familiar saying… “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”. The trying
again effort on your part is a wonderful sign that you have chosen to say no to not
succeeding. Continue to say no to it until you reach all of your dreams in life.
