Blame is Not the Answer

 Blame is Not the Answer

“A man may fall many times but be won’t be a failure

until he says someone pushed him.”

Elmer G. Letterman, Author   

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Blame is not the answer

If a person doesn't stumble and fall in life they are not pushing themselves or try hard enough.

At one time or another all trip . . . .  stumble . . . .fall and fail. Each one of them is mile markers along the side of the road . . . .and the tolls you pay on your success journey to get you to your destination.

You would like to think about your success journey as being an expressway with no tolls. In reality your success journey is a toll road. There is a price to be paid to become successful. Each toll that you pay moves you closer to your goals.

Success becomes a result of being resilient . . . . and through your persistence. Not in never having experienced a setback or a failure.

The only real failure in life comes in quitting . . . . and in blaming others for your conditions.

Successful people take the personal responsibility for the conditions that they find themselves in today . . . . and the responsibility to change the conditions to create the desired outcome.

Blaming others for your conditions is a total waste of time and energy. It will not have any positive impact on your success journey and becomes a sentence to average. Taking responsibility is the fuel to change the conditions in your life . . . . and change the results that you have been getting.

The blame game is a losing proposition that no one comes out as a winner. Take control of your life, take responsibility for your future and be willing to pay the tolls to get you the desired outcome.

When you do you will understand the blame is not the answer . . . . blame is the anchor that will sink you and your career.

The Price To Succeed

Motivational Power Quote

 The Price To Succeed

“Success is like anything worthwhile it has a price.

You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay

the price to get to the price where success is possible.

Most important, you must pay the price to stay there.”

Vince Lombardi 1913 - 1970, Football Coach

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The price to succeed

The person that’s determined to succeed commits themselves to the pursuit of their success . . . . and to pay the price that has to be paid to achieve their goals. They realize that their success journey is not a free ride to the top.

They understand that there is a price that has to be paid to succeed . . . . and a price to stay on top.

The success journey is a toll road . . . . and to reach the top of your profession you have to be willing to pay the tolls to reach your destination.

The person with the desire to succeed . . . . but is unwilling to pay the tolls will find that their success journey will come to a stop at the toll booth of life. Their success journey will only go as far . . . . as their commitment to pay the price to succeed.

The person that commits themselves to succeed is focused on their purpose of seeking . . . . and achieving success. The person that commits themselves to pay the price to succeed now has a purpose . . . . and the motivation to succeed.

The price to succeed . . . . may seem high as we travel the path of your success journey.  But when we achieve success and look back on your success journey and you will see that the price was a small price to pay in comparison to your achievements.

Obstacles are Tolls You Pay on Your Success Journey

Motivational Power Quote

Obstacles are Tolls You Pay on Your Success Journey

“Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards success.”

Peter Drucker, Management Expert

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Obstacles are tolls you pay on your success journey  

You will encounter many experiences on your success journey some that will move closer to your goals and some that will take in the wrong direction . . . . and further away from your goals. A successful person will look at their experiences as stepping stone into a brighter . . . . and more successful future.

Every experience can be turned in to a learning experience to broaden your prospective . . . . and open your minds to greater opportunities.

Your positive experiences will give you the insight into what methods and strategies have worked the best for you and have contributed to your success. Those experiences will also give you a great starting point to move forward to the next level of your success journey.

There will also be times when you will . . . . face challenges, setbacks and obstacles as you are moving in the direction of our goals.

How you respond to the obstacles that you encounter in your life will have a major impact on the direction that . . . . your success journey takes and with what accuracy you will have in hitting the target and your goals.

Obstacles are those things that can take our eye off your goals and sidetrack our success journey. Look at your obstacles as learning experiences. You will learn what not to do in the future . . . . what you have to learn to do better. And what you will have to adjust to achieve your goals and the desired outcome. You will also learn what people support you and your success journey and what people to avoid.

An obstacle can be looked at as brick wall with no way to scale it or to go around it. Or you can look at an obstacle as a temporary condition and to find the best way to get through it . . . . around it . . . .or over the obstacle.

When you look at obstacle as a learning experience you come to understand that obstacles are tolls that we pay along the way of your success journey to get to the next level of success.

Once you recognize that obstacles are tolls you pay on your success journey you will look at them in an entirely difference light. I believe that with each toll that you paid on your success journey that you learned to become more effective and grow as a person the pursuit of your goals.
