If You Want Success Then You Need A Goal

We are all successful and yet we want to be successful. Why is that you think? It’s because we see what’s possible from others results and we want what they have. Is it because we want to be like them or is it because they actually have managed to get what it is we really are after?

You decide.

Any Idea

My car has been sitting out in the frozen snow all winter. It literally hasn’t moved and I’ve cared less. We didn’t have insurance on it and basically used it as a storage for whatever we didn’t need at the time. Well, I finally wanted it out and I was going to get it out. Period.

With your life you need to have something similar. It can be just about anything and come from just about anywhere. You need to have an idea that is strong enough that you’re going to make it reality no matter what. An idea is better than no idea, honest.

Willingness

I was willing to do just about anything to get my car out of the snow. In fact, the only regret (now that I think about it) that I have as I’m writing this post is that I didn’t take pictures of it in the snow and how it was stuck. I can take pictures of it now but that’s not going to do much good lol.

You have to find something that you’re willing to do anything to make happen. Want to be rich? What are you willing to do to be rich? What ways can you come up with (hopefully legal) that will get you rich. Want to be in good health? What foods can you eat and what exercise can you do on a daily basis that will keep you in good shape and in good health. I personally enjoy taking walks sometimes and listening to music on my mp3 player. I encourage you to at least do this a few times a week. A few meaning around three in case you didn’t know.

The Reason Why

The reason I wanted my car out is because we are moving soon and I didn’t want to just get the car out right before we moved. I wanted to get it back out and on the road so I could drive it again and listen to my kick ass stereo system. I have a custom radio with an amp and a ten inch subwoofer in the trunk. It’s awesome and I love it, I’m not going to lie about that. I also wanted to make sure I had enough time to find out what might be wrong with the car so I could decide if I wanted to get a new one or fix this one up.

Have a good reason why you’re doing whatever it is you’re doing. If you’re not doing it for you and to improve your life then it’s just going to get tiresome and mean nothing later on. You have to make sure it’s the right thing for you and your family and it’s going to benefit you. Make sure you really want it.

A big thing here is that if you have a strong enough why then you will go for it no matter what it takes. And where there is a will there is a way. That’s a quote from someone as I first heard it from my grandmother before she passed away and if I knew who said it first (unless it was her, honestly doubt it though) I would be more than happy to give that person credit.

See It, Dream It

I saw myself driving my car and cranking up my stereo and just jamming out as I was going down the road. The feeling was overwhelming and I wanted it more than I wanted air! I dreamed of it every night and just knew I would have it soon. I had to have it. I needed it. I would do anything to get it!

You need to at least create something GREAT in your head and maybe even put it on paper. See it and then dream about it. You will know how strong of an emotion it is and you will understand how great an idea it is when the dreams start coming and you can see it and just have to have it no matter what it takes. This is a good sign of things to come for you.

Go For It

I changed this to what it is instead of take action. Everyone talks about taking action as do I. I’m sick of that. Well, not entirely but go for it is a good change just for now.

I went for it! I was out there shoveling and beating the ice around the car and kicking and cussing and just tearing up the snow. I bought ice melt and started the car up and got a new batter for it and just did everything everyone mentioned that just might help me out. Why not? After all, anything was better than nothing.

You have to just go for it. You may look stupid or get scared or worried or something but who cares? No one is good at everything and everyone has their special abilities in life. You’ll learn as you go but if you don’t go you’ll never learn. So go for it damnit and make something of yourself. You’ll have time to improve later but right now at least get your ass out there and do something about life… And remember, have fun!

Change It Up, Get Results

As I just said I tried many different ways of trying to get my car unstuck. I was getting so upset about it just barely being able to get out of its spot. I was not about to give up. I kept saying that it’s coming out TODAY! Period. Not tomorrow, today! Well, it actually get out on the 28^th of February 2010 but I was so determined that it really didn’t matter. Saying to myself it’s coming out today no if, ands or butts about it made damn sure I wasn’t going to take a break or anything.

On the results end of things I finally tried everything all at once, ice melt, cardboard, shoveling, letting the car run a bit, and more. Everything was going well and I was seeing even better results than before.

Instead of beating a dead horse and not moving on from what you’re doing just change things up a bit. After all, and I know this is a quote but I’m not sure who from exactly: Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. This is true. If you want different results and you’re just sure you’re doing everything right, do more, try something different, talk to people and see what they would do, maybe have them help you. Anything to get you closer to where you want to be. It WILL work. I promise.

Achievement

Ah… Finally… The car got out! YES! It took all of the mentioned above and three guys pushing and rocking that car. Either way success is mine! My car was finally out of where it had been sitting and I was so happy I almost cried. Seriously. Laugh if you will but when you’re as dead set on something like that and for two days straight it is just about there but not quite and finally, finally, finally it gets done, if YOU aren’t crying for joy then you must be doing something else for joy because you have it either way.

Once you have achievemnt it will help you to look back for the next time you are working hard at accomplishing something spectacular. Never give up and maybe change your stuff to get different and better results because achievement will come eventually. And boy is it worth it!

So, what all have you done about what you want out of your life and what did you do to get it? What was it and how did you feel when it became reality, finally?
