Which Are You?

There are basically two kinds of people: those who get things done and those who wait for conditions to be right. The first group will quietly get on with things, putting forth every effort as they act, giving consideration as they perform, until they reach their final objective. The second group thinks a lot. They wish, wonder, and dream. If they do act, it is only after much soul-searching and their action is often hesitant, and filled with doubt.

This has been me. I have always been a dreamer. I am somewhat of a perfectionist so things have to be done just right and everything I can learn must be learned before I can start something. I have found out the hard that if you continue on this path you are doomed. You will never reach your dreams. So get up off your bottom and just jump right in there. It will never be perfect because only God is perfect.

Colin Powell once said, “The freedom to be your best means nothing unless you are willing to do your best.” What would really get you going today? What would make you so excited, so enthusiastic, so motivated, and so full of energy that you would literally put your every ounce of effort into it? Folks, you cannot simply be successful. Your success must start with a particular objective, or it cannot happen. Discover the one thing that is truly important to you. Begin to focus on that objective and get passionate about it. Make every effort to make it happen.

My mentor, Daniel Graham teaches me something about myself everyday.  He says effort is the rock against which we can hone our integrity. As long as our effort is all that it can be, there will be no room for short cuts, doubt or cheating. Everyone is motivated by something. What is it that would compel you to transcend any obstacle, to do whatever is necessary to pursue that goal?

I would love to hear what you think and which kind of person you are.  Please leave a comment below and if you haven’t already join my google friend connect.

Be the best you can.
