Winners Give up Hope!

Or rather, give up hoping…for something to happen to them, or for them. Successful coaches, athletes, business professionals, teachers, couples and parents create their own success and the good things that happen to them. They create a plan for success and follow it. They have the guts to form a goal and commit to it. The goal could be a new house (or keeping the current one), better grades, more discretionary income, a vacation, the perfect mate or partner, a new career, job promotion, winning the big game, etc. I’ve been amazed by how many people don’t allow themselves to stand firmly for a goal or something that, in their heart of hearts, they desire. Even fewer formulate an idea about how to go get it, and still fewer yet act on their plan. The world can be your oyster (whatever that means), but oysters don’t have legs and they don’t crawl up on the shore and hop into your picnic basket. You have to get a little dirty and go down in the muck and get them. Be one of the few who give up hoping that something good happens to you. Make the decision to go out and bravely, thoughtfully, methodically, create your own good.
