The Playing Field Has Been

In today's market and with today's
technology it's never been easier to compete with established companies
and well-known individuals. Never before has opportunity been so
universally available. Every day I see where someone has
published their first book, launched a new company, starred in a new film
or partnered with a large corporate entity. I LIKE to read about people
going for their dreams. What may not be apparent is that these
are everyday people. Those who have been successful in achieving their
dreams are usually not any different than you and me. Except for one thing—they went out and
did it. All too often, I see people hold back and
not go after their dreams because they don't feel special enough. They
erroneously believe that the people out there doing great things are
privileged in some way. They believe them to have more knowledge, more
connections or more inside information than they themselves do.
This is rarely true. With few exceptions,
the ones out there making things happen simply had the courage and the
urgency to do so. They believed in themselves and in what they were doing.
Sometimes not a lot—but at least enough to get started. They didn't wait for permission. They
didn't wait until everything was perfect. No stars had to align. They
didn't have it all figured out, but they acted nonetheless.
We live in a day and age where speed is
of the essence. The product or service that gets out there first is
usually the one to be the most successful. Wait until the product is
perfect and you'll likely lose out. Getting it launched is paramount.
As I consult with individuals and senior
executives of corporations, I find many viable ideas that get launched
late or not at all because they're not feeling ready or worthy. There
always seems to be something they're waiting for. What's needed is courage. We must give
ourselves permission to act. We don't need anyone else's permission.
Boldness pays off. Initiative rules. What are YOU waiting for? Where are you
holding back? What deep-seated dream do you have within you? You deserve
to fulfill your unique potential. Remember that the people out their
winning simply believe enough in themselves and in their dreams to take a
chance. They're willing to take calculated risks—to bet on themselves and
on their ideas. What's the worst that can happen? There's
no shame in failing. Failing is part of success and people forget about
your failings in the bright light of your accomplishment. And they respect
your courage. I believe that everyone has a dream they
long to achieve. But I think most of these dreams lie buried within and
are never brought forth. And the world, as well as the one with the dream,
are worse off for it. If you're not clear on what your dream
is, take some action on any project that interests you. It doesn't matter
which one. The process may very likely expose your true calling. We find what we're looking for. If you're
intent upon uncovering your dream you will do so. For some reason the
Universe has a way of hanging on to answers until it knows we're serious.
There IS a way to accomplish your dreams.
Find out what you need to learn. Who can help you? What's your biggest
roadblock? What one thing can you do today to move you closer to your
objective? Take some action every day and you'll
begin to see your dream unfold. In doing so, you'll find yourself among those you admire and respect for pursuing their heart's desire. We'll be reading about YOU. |
