You Can Accomplish Great Things! Yes, I'm Talking To YOU!
"You will fail! There's no chance you could ever do such a
thing, so don't even try!" Has anyone ever told you something
like this? Have these words ever toppled your great plans for
success? How did it affect you? Did you put your plans away for
another year? Every morning I make my 10-step commute from my
bedroom to my office where I turn on my computer, and of course,
talk radio. One day I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh show
where he was talking about golfing, one of his favorite topics.
Some listeners don't share his love for golf. But after he
finished his story, I think even listeners who think the word
club is just a place to hang out at late at night, enjoyed this
story. He described some very technically advanced golf clubs
that pro golfer Tom Watson had given him as a gift. Everyone
told Rush not to even try to use these clubs, saying his golf
skills were lacking. The reason? The sweet spot on these clubs
is the size of a quarter, which required the talent of a
professional golfer. Well you guessed it, Rush used the clubs
and golfed better than ever. His point: people will tell you not
to try something more than they will tell you to go for it. Your
mission: do it! Don't listen to people who say you can't do
something. It's a good thing Jean Harper didn't listen. In 1959,
Jean was in the third grade, and her teacher asked her to write
about what she wanted to do when she grew up. Jean wrote that
she wanted to be a pilot, but her assignment came back with an F
on it because her teacher told Jean that women couldn't be
pilots. Fortunately, in high school Jean had a teacher who told
her the opposite, that she could do it, which gave Jean the
motivation to pursue her dream. In 1978, she became one of the
first three female pilot trainees accepted by United Airlines
and one of only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at the
time. Now's your turn: What kind of business do you want to
start? Are people telling you to not even try? Look, nothing
great was ever accomplished because it was easy. Also, people
who try and those who accomplish great tasks have something in
common: They enjoy what they're doing. Have you ever heard of a
world-renowned chef who hated to cook? Or a sports star who
hated her sport? Probably not. If you're thinking about what
kind of business to start, first look inside. Think about your
likes, your passions, your God-given talents. Use these as your
guides to living your dreams. Can you honestly say the following
words: "I love what I'm doing with my life. I can't imagine
making a living any other way." If not, this should be your
daily goal! Just try it. I dare you.
