Success
The wonderful life trainer Jim Rohn once said “Success is something you attract by the person you become.” To expand that concept to all of life. I believe that whatever you attract in life is because of what you believe and often about what you have chosen.
I have been reviewing a film for the festival that is about a man who goes through a horrible life altering accident. He then discovers success principles and develops a system to share them with others. He then becomes wealthy and famous. Later he is afflicted with a rare form of cancer. He battles this disease for months and is finally in remission. This ordeal shows him that he was obsessed with success and all the trappings it brings. He became a success-aholic. He spent way too much time doing that and not enough time being an excellent mate, father and friend.
What he discovered along the way is. Life is not fair, it just is. Things happen to us that we least expect. When they do, we get to choose how we are going to feel and how we will face them. It is often that our hardships define our character. Then, through the process of dealing with them, we discover something deep inside we didn’t know we had. Our spirit, our life force can often rally and perform and create beyond our wildest dreams.
When it is all said and done we often discover that the love, the sharing, the caring, our families and friends are our success. Let us support each other to help discover the gifts, the energy, the joy, the passion, the courage to be successful in life! From my encouraging heart to yours, Thomas
