I am dedicating this blog to all those people who have chosen to be
successful.
Success is not a destination; it is a journey—an exciting journey.
Success is not universal; it is personal—it is the goal you choose. Success is
not in the achievement; it is in the struggle for success that we achieve our
personal goals.
While success is available to everyone, only a few will plant their
flag and claim the rights of success. To succeed, a person must define success
for themselves, develop a success plan for achieving that success and then execute
the action steps that move them toward their goal. Need I say, successful
people stay focused on their goal, avoid or eliminate distractions, and
execute, execute, execute.
Often the journey to success is long and lonely. Success worth having
is not an overnight venture; it is a life-long commitment. While success is not
usually accompanied with an entourage; it is accomplished with the help of
others. But, sometimes in the pursuit of success you journey alone. It is in
these travel times that words of encouragement, incite, and challenge help
embolden us to stay the course.
The following quotes are what this blog is all about…encouraging,
inciting, and challenging you to stay the course. Success is what you want and
what you make of it.
“Things
may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle.” — Abraham Lincoln
“The
greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it,

succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will
