Take The Success Test

 Sure we all say we wish to experience greatness in our lives.

And we all boldly state we are willing to do what it takes be successful.

When it comes down to it though I often wonder just how serious some people are?

But before I go any further on this topic, I need you do so something for me.

Get up, go over to a open area on the floor and get in the push up position.

You heard me.  :)

I am dead serious, stop reading and get started, once you have completed this exercise come back and we will carry on.  (it is important for you to understand the rest of this)

Blood is pumping now eh?

Great...

Let me ask you this...

When you stopped doing your pushups what position were you in?

Standing on your feet, smiling thinking you showed me?  Or laying down, breathing hard, completely worn out?

Stay with me I am going somewhere with this.

For the majority of you who got off your butts and did the work, I would guess that you decided on a number of push ups in advance, reached that number and did no more.

Now some people would be all impressed by the person who did the most…

Nope, not this guy!

For me I would look to see what the guy/gal did once they reached their predetermined amount of push ups!

Did you stop or did you keep going until you could not do anymore…  until you were exhausted and collapsed, lying on the ground?

If you want to really excel in life, all you have to do is just a little bit more then the average person... Just 1 - 2 additional reps.

The ones who make it are those who set a goal however as discussed when their goal is reached they don't stop, they keep on keeping on and go that extra inch or two.  They are always trying to better themselves.

How about sports? Mr. 23 himself Michael Jordan, one of the greats in the game… this guy gave it literally 100% all the time, pushing himself further by shooting more jump shots… looking for that slight edge that would help him improve!

All go getters in life have this mindset, they have the champions mindset, the warriors mentality…  never stop just because you can, stop only when you have to!

And please never say luck is why someone is successful, although luck does tend to follow those who deserve it!

Have the attitude I will do what I need to do now, so I can do whatever I want later.!!

Develop the habit now of going that extra mile, giving your all in all you do and you will acquire the benefits.
