Afterward

With the proper foundation of knowledge, understanding, and method you too, can achieve great results. There’s no end to the possibilities!  As you move forward, continue to apply your knowledge and understanding of success principles, to every aspect of your life, business or organization. Make decisions that are consistent with your definition of success. Take charge of your situation, and set your course. Establish your vision, and create inspiring ideas.  Move with a sense of purpose, and make a decision to act.  Outline your success by setting goals. Believe in the possibility of your own success, and stay focused on your vision. Take the option of quitting off the table. Tailor plans to fit your unique style, and use strategy that will enhance results. Then get busy. Keep it real, stay flexible, and keep your plans broken down into small parts you can handle.

When you experience problems look for the silver lining, and recognize your opportunity to improve. Face problems head on, seek to discover the true source of those problems, and implement your solutions. Find your balance and maintain it. Choose your path, stay focused on where you’re going, and make small adjustments. Finally, take ownership. Invest yourself in the outcome and take the risk, pouring your heart and soul into everything you hope to accomplish.  It’s time for you to get started. Something is calling you. Can you hear it? It’s your hopes and dreams, it’s everything you want and why, it’s your vision beckoning.  It’s calling out for you, and it’s saying, - “Take Charge – Get Results!”

Dare To Dream Again

You think I don’t understand,
But I do.
The odds are not in our favor.
Percentage-wise, very few people achieve success. 
The deck is stacked against us, and we have
Very little chance of succeeding.
It would probably be better if we just accepted reality,
And didn’t try so hard to get
Something we can never have.
Just do the best we can, being average.
That’s how most people think.
I know, because
I am most people,
And so are you.
My dreams have died many times.
I know the pain of failure
And the cruelty of life.
So do you.
I know the fear of rebuilding a dream.
I feel it now.
So do you.
I have gambled and lost.
I have played to win, and walked away in defeat.
I have stood tall,
Only to be knocked flat by Failure’s merciless blow.
I have paid the price for daring to go
Just one more round with fate,
And I have cried until my soul was dry.
So have you.
If you do not dare
To dream again,
To stand and fight and try to win,
I understand.
If you lack the strength
To go on,
Then stop here and rest awhile.
I understand.
After all, I had to stop and rest too.
But now I am ready to rejoin the game, And though my fear is great, I will beat it down, charge with a fury, And Fight!
I will never give up,
Not as long as there’s a breath in my body!
If I get knocked down,
I’ll get back up!
If my dream is destroyed,
I’ll build another!
I must go on.
No matter how great the fear,
No matter what the odds,
No matter what the risk,
I must go on trying!
This is who I am.
I don’t know why, but I know
I cannot change it.
And I also know this;
We are the same, you and I.
And although you still need time to rest, It won’t be long before you rise again, And we will fight together – side by side –
Defeating our fears, and realizing our dreams.
This is who you are.
I don’t know why, but I know
You cannot change it.
