It's the one universal day where everyone talks about goals, dreams, plans and hopes; in short we all talk about creating a better life (however that is represented for us).<br /><br />We talk about it, we dream about it.<br />But often we don't (really) plan for it, sweat for it, sacrifice for it, work for it, get uncomfortable for it.<br />We just kind of 'hope' it will happen.<br />Hopefully success will fall on us from a great height.<br /><br />We don't create it.<br />We don't persevere.<br />We don't finish what we start.<br /><br />In my job I have watched (literally) thousands of talented, intelligent and capable people spend years going around in circles.<br />Years being frustrated.<br />Years under-achieving.<br />Years making Excuses and years waiting for the right time.<br />Years making and breaking promises and resolutions.<br /><br />Our biggest challenge in the pursuit of forever change, is not our ability (or lack of it), not opportunities, luck, potential, skills, education (or lack of it) and not our age or gender; it is our ability to consistently do the things we need to do to create our desired results, irrespective of how we're feeling, day in and day out.<br /><br />Don't let life happen to you!<br /><br />Craig Harper<br />john@craigharper.com.au<br />http://www.craigharper.com.auCraig Harperhttp://www.craigharper.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
