Motivation Monday- Quitting

There are many places we go looking for inspiration. Usually the wrong places. Some days we search high and low for some form of passion or fire. We look at other people that are successful and try to navigate their path to success. Sometimes the very thing we need is just to realign ourselves with our mission and re-establish our goals. Do it now. What is the goal?

For me success comes from my unwavering drive not the fail at creating a better life for myself and my family. To challenge myself and find happiness. Even on the rough days, when I can't make a connection or I get rejected by a few people, it would be so easy to quit. I refuse to let that be my legacy. Quitting is the easy route. If it were easy there would be many more people doing what you hope to someday achieve. Then what is the achievement in it? We look at people who are successful and assume they got lucky that it was some stroke of genius that got all these trailblazers where they are.

Do you know what most successful people have in common? At some point, people, dozens of people told them NO. They were rejected on more occasions then they can count. Their plans failed, changed, and failed again but they never stopped. The success you want and that dream you chase is just that, a chase. Usually a long, hard, roller coaster of a chase and worth every second. After all that's the point. Fight for it and NEVER give up. Here are some of my favorite success stories!

Oprah was fired from her first t.v position....
Walt Disney was fired from his first newspaper position for "lack of imagination"....
Fred Astaire was told on a screen test "can't sing, can't act, can dance a little"...
JK Rowling was turned down 12 times for Harry Potter...
The creator of Dyson made 5,126 failed prototypes. He is now worth 4.5 billion dollars...
Elvis was told to "go back to Memphis and drive a truck"...
Marilyn Monroe was told she'd never make it and to "just be a secretary"...

It will get hard, that I can promise you. Success is only hindered by your own limitations. If you want it, you are going to have to fight for it. if you don't there are plenty of other people that will.

Dreams are what get you started. 

Determination will make you successful.
