The world will step aside for one with clearly
defined objectives and a strong desire to attain
them.

 

No matter what your plans to launch yourself
toward success, the time to start is now. 
not tomorrow, not next week or next month-now!

 

Don't waste another day waiting for all the right
conditions.  There will never be a perfect time to
get started!  The important thing is to take that first
step and get started immediately!

 

Proceed with determination and don't let fear
doubt or others stop you.  Your path will become
clear as you move ahead with conviction.

 

 

At first glance, this sounds like the same thing, take a
closer look, it's not.

 

If you are completely fulfilled by spending time with
your friends and family because you really want to
be with them then you truly want what you have.

 

On the flip side, if you drive the nicest car and have
a huge house, and have worked hard to get those
things, then you have been successful at having what
you want.

 

When you have what you want eventually the
feeling of satisfaction wears off.  Once you get what
you want the old wants are replaced by new wants
and the cycle continues.  True happiness remains
at bay.

 

Look around you, happiness may be closer than
you think.  It may just be a matter of changing
what you value.

 

What holds you back is not a lack of resources. For even when you start with almost nothing, there is a sure pathway to the goal.

What holds you back is not an absence of opportunity. For even in the most desperate situations, there is always the opportunity to make a valuable, positive, powerful difference.

Most likely, the thing that holds you back more than anything else is the lack of a firm commitment to move forward. And that's great news, because that is something you can most certainly change.

Whatever you truly decide to do, will get done. Where you truly decide to go, you will be.

When you decide to, you will find what it takes to work through any challenge. When you decide to, you can take whatever may come and dig the real value out of it.

Decide to, and you unleash a powerful, focused, creative force. Decide to, and you will.
