You deserve to fly... Heres why!!!
| Category: Personal Development For Marketeers | Date: 2001-04-02 |
The day is clear, warm and visibility is very high. Two doves fly past. They fly left, They fly right and then make a dive.
One looks up and thinks "Wow - That'd Be Cool". Cool to fly! What an ability it is to decide "I'm moving interstate" or "I'm emigrating" and then on your own steam to stand up and simply fly away.
For birds this is the main form of transport. They sit resting on a rock until hunger sets in. When their belly says "Hey listen to me. Do something to keep me happy". They use the wonderful god given power of flying and search for insects, plants, other birds, snakes etc. to keep the worms at bay. It is this hunger that drove them to start flapping their wings in the first place.
Quite often when there's competition for food - many animals will fight - their survival depends on it. But what about the normal everyday existence of you and I as people??? Do we need to fight to survive? Not in the same context as you and I are already one step ahead here...
SO, WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP???
Remember why the bird moved from his comfortable stone in the first place? He was hungry!!!
It's a known fact that people have something that no other creature on this earth has; that of choice. We choose our friends, our standards, our surroundings. In short we choose to be who we are. The bird is hungry. His survival depends on it. For us the choice is not survival it's the next step...
What do you hunger for??? Like the bird your hunger will drive you to satisfying this necessity - but it depends entirely on what your hunger is.
Do you hunger for $10,000/Month???
Do you hunger for becoming a parachute jump instructor???
Do you hunger for becoming a qualified physician???
Do you yearn to climb Mount Everest???
It doesn't matter in the slightest what you hunger for. What is important is that it must be important 2U. If you yearn for nothing more than what you currently have then in comparison you are the bird who sits on the stone and never gets hungry. Eventually (and immediately)... nothing happens!!!!!!!!!
YOU MUST YEARN FOR MORE THAN YOU HAVE AND YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO PUT IN WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENSURE YOUR HUNGER IS SATISFIED.
You need to have a destination and goals written down. You need to listen to your heart. Please do not do things you think you should do as your mum or a mate from the pub reckoned it was a good idea. That's crap. Forget that. This is about what is important to you.
The bird flies to survive. You can fly to thrive. This is a huge difference.
If you have the guts to go after what is most important 2U then only you can stop yourself from succeeding. If you don't then where you are now will always remain the comfortable (and more than likely unsatisfying) medium that it currently is which cannot really be improved upon.
