The Secret of Success



How exciting that dark matter may have been found in Space!  If you haven't heard the buzz, HERE is the article by YAHOO.  It's very cool, very exciting and all because of new technology that was not around in the past.  The best take home from that article is in the last paragraph, and I quote William Gerstenmaier, "I think there's probably a message to all of us: When it looks kind of dark and doesn't look like there's a clear path forward, fix your eyes on that point in the future, and keep moving forward".  The very last sentence reads "The great results from AMS now are perhaps "just a tad sweeter that way" than if the road to this point had been less turbulent".

The best part of the article is right there - the results are sweeter than if the road have been less turbulent.  That is the whole secret of success, ANY Success!

Here are some scenarios for you to ponder.

The 15 year old gets a summer job and works all summer so her can buy his first car.

The 16 year old that is given a brand new Range Rover.

The 40 year old that joins Weight Watchers and over the course of a year looses 30 pounds.

The 40 year old that that looses 30 pounds from liposuction.

The lottery winner.
The business owner who finally makes a profit.

Out of each of those scenarios, whose accomplishment tasted the best?  Hard work pays off, not only when you are doing it but afterwards.  When things come easy, they go easy, when things come hard, they go hard too.

If you are working hard on your business, you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and you want so bad to give up.  Keep going, push through it because when you reach success, it will taste better than anything you ever tasted, and chances are, if you are smart, you won't let it go.
