You Want, But You Won’t!

There’s one thing you can say about my newsletters, is that I don’t try to dazzle you with fancy words or drawn out explanations. I believe that your time is valuable and I do appreciate you taking the time to subscribe to and read my newsletters each month. In each issue I try to talk about something relevant that anyone can relate to dealing with self improvement, achievement, goals and success in general. What you get each month is my thoughts, opinions, and my experiences that come from real life examples. I am not the touchy, feeley, "Politically Correct" type of person. Sometimes my tone in my newsletters can be harsh, direct and mechanical but at least you know two things: that I really believe what I’m saying and that what you are getting is real. Now that being said, let me tell why I believe that you are not living the life you want.

Most of us aspire to be something in life, a doctor, lawyer, singer, successful business person, etc. I remember when I was growing up in St. Petersburg I wanted to be all sorts of things. I wanted to be a professional football player, lawyer and professional singer just to name a few. Well what happened? Why didn’t I become either one of these? Well now looking back at my life I realize that I didn’t have two key ingredients for success. Now don’t get me wrong, there are other ingredients but today I just want to touch on these two. What I didn’t have was....

Passion and Determination!

I wanted to be a lawyer but I wouldn’t do what it took to be one, especially after I found out how difficult is was to be one. Now just think if I was really passionate and determined to be a lawyer, would I care that much about the difficulties? Now ask yourself, “what do I want out of life?” Then ask yourself, “why don’t I have it?” You see you want this or that but you won't do what it takes to get it. Now if you had P and D (passion and determination) you will do what it takes to get where you want to be. Getting up at 5 AM is just something that you do to move closer to your goal, going to the library to study when you don’t feel like it is just a small price to pay to get you where you want to be. We want to achieve great things or maybe not so great things, but we all want something that we don’t have. Having P and D means that sometimes doing things that you don’t want to do to get you where you want to be, this is expected. Do you actually think that being a successful doctor, lawyer, chef or anything is obtained by not doing hard work and only doing stuff you like? Let’s not fool ourselves. Funny thing, if you had P and D the hard work, sweat, tasks that you don’t like and don’t want to do, doesn’t seem all that bad. It’s still not ideal but not terrible either. If I wanted to be a leading authority on birds and I love the topic of birds, me going to the library to research birds for two hours doesn’t seem all that bad because I enjoy birds. Because of my P, I want to learn all I can about birds and because of my D to be a leading authority on birds, I will do what it takes to become a leading authority. Passion is what fuels the fire and Determination is what keeps the fire going. Check your P and D and see how you can make it work for you.
