...April 2010...

It seems that everywhere you turn around people have excuses for failure.

When it comes to looking for work the excuses for inaction are legendary (and I have heard every one of the following excuses in one form or another):  "There are no jobs out there".  "The economy is still too slow for job creation"  "Employers don't get back to me when I apply for a job with them" "I don't have the skills or experiences they are looking for"  "I am too short"  "My hair is too red" "I have too many family commitments" "I don't have transport" "I won't do that sort of work" "I have a criminal record"  "I don't have any experience"  "I have too much experience". 

Everybody can come up with an excuse for not progressing in life.   The reality is though, we are all responsible for our attitude towards life and the hard times we must all endure.

The successes in life are the ones who get stuck in.  They decide what they want to happen, what price they are willing to pay for that objective, the resources they have available to them, and then they go about making things happen.  They look at life's setbacks as just that - a setback, not a roadblock.  And they persist - they keep trying, reviewing what they are doing and refining it and trying again until they succeed.

You can tell the people who are succeeding in the life they have chosen to live.  They are the ones who are optimistic, happy and enthusiastic.  They surround themselves with other people who are optimistic, happy and enthusiastic.  They are self-motivated, self-disciplined and celebrate their successes and the successes of others. 

Sound like you?  Or the life you want to lead?  It's easy... all you have to do is take the first step.  And then the next...
