subject: How Succeessful Peopledo It [print this page] If you are truly honest with yourself, youll come to the following conclusion If you are not achieving a particular goal at the moment or you are not at a point in your life you feel you should be, then either you are using excuses to justify the circumstance or your desire for that goal is not as strong as it should be. Straight talk.
Truly unstoppable people always evaluate their conditioning and are brutally honest with themselves. They realise that all the excuse making or complaining in the world will not change a single thing about their situation, so instead, they become intensely solution-focused.
People who have wanted something bad enough have been so consumed by that desire that they did whatever was necessary to accomplish that goal. They take 100% responsibility for their circumstances and do not make excuses. They have exceptional careers despite office politics or dealing with a difficult boss, they make huge successes of their lives despite their disabilities, they create multi-million rand business from having no funding or business contacts, they push through their fears and doubts and fiercely pursue their dreams.
They realise that for their situation to change, THEY have to change. Their response to the situation has to change. For their situation to become better, they must become better. Making excuses requires zero effort, you dont even have to lift a finger. Becoming better entails demanding more of yourself. Committing to meeting those demands and persevering until your circumstances change. Now that requires work.
Their desire to accomplish their goals is so infectious that those around them have little choice but to succumb, make way for their dreams and support them in the process. They become solution-focused and even though they still encounter challenges en route to attaining their goal, they expend little energy worrying and instead converge all their energy on a solution.
They have supreme confidence in their ability to succeed and the image of achieving their objective remains indelible in their minds.
They are cognisant of the fact that time will not wait for them and whether they choose to pursue their goals or not, time will come and go.
The difference however will be that when the time does come, the quality of their lives will be far better because they had taken action in the past and made sacrifices and not allowed themselves to be victims of circumstance who did little but make excuses until time came and went. They decide to become truly unstoppable.
