I'D LOVE TO BE ONE OF THEM

I've been privileged to be a part of a great organization which I will not name here, but only to say that I have learned a lot about people through the books I have read, the people I have associated with and the motivational CD's I listen to, in addition to my immense love of music. I hope to become a motivational speaker one day soon, encouraging people to overcome what ails them, just as I have been going through some trials in my own life. It is important for me to remember my own words and not give up, even though it seems easier to do sometimes. The trick is to keep yourself motivated, as motivation comes from within. You can read all the books you want, attend all the seminars you can and listen to all the books and motivational speeches on tape/CD that you are able to, but sometime, somewhere, one has to look deep within and DECIDE to make something happen. I am at that point, and I WILL succeed. Just some tidbits of inspiration I'd like to leave you to dwell on:

"You need to care about it. When you write a book, you need to have more than an interesting story. You need to have a desire to tell the story. You need to be personally invested in some way. If you're going to live with something for two years, three years, the rest of your life, you need to care about it."

Malcolm Gladwell, author

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Reduce your plan to writing...The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire."

Napoleon Hill (1883-1970), Author of "Think And Grow Rich"
