Excel In All You Do

Success is very subjective. We may each interpret what the definition

of success is for our own lives. Success may mean a promotion, a new

job, having a baby, or raising a family. Or to you it may mean becoming

the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. You will slowly gravitate toward

the level of what you most consistently desire in life. Carl Yastrzemski,

the great baseball player, said, “I think about baseball when I wake up in

the morning. I think about it all day, and I dream about it at night. The

only time I don’t think about it is when I’m playing it.”

In Carl Yastrzemski’s Hall of Fame acceptance speech of 1989, he

said in part:


 "I can stand here—I can stand before you today and tell you honestly that

every day I put that Red Sox uniform on I gave 100 percent of myself for my

own. I treated it with dignity and respect in deference to our fans. A high

regard for my teammates, coaches and management. Anything less would

not have been worthy of me. Anything more would not have been possible."



Success Is Within Your Reach


 

Have you figured out what you truly want? Or are you just playing

with time, as if you had all the time in the world to decide and to

fight for what you will one day want? Goals. Dreams. Inspiration.

Success never comes to people with mere


fleeting dreams. Those who

are truly successful are very driven individuals who never, ever stop

thinking about and working at their dream or goal. Truly driven people

sometimes can’t sleep at night. They can’t. Their brains are working

furiously in overdrive, calculating, thinking, planning, and seeing their

vision happen in their minds. Driven people are not followers; they are

leaders marching to their own tune.


What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.—Napoleon Hill



Vince Lombardi, the world-renowned football coach, said it best

when he stated, “Winning is not a some-time thing; it’s an all-time

thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in

a while; you do them right all the time.”


For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—real

life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got

through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be

paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles

were my life.
