Have your big plans ever failed? Not just your big plans in work or business, but with your family?
As a parent, you’ve probably tried to plan quality time. But if you’re like me, you have discovered that you cannot force quality time. For instances, if your daughter wants to hang out with her friends at the Mall, but you force her to spend “quality time” with you, I can promise no matter how hard you try, you aren’t going to experience much quality time.
Why is this?
Here’s a creepy, but well-worth-the-read key to success. Allow me to take you to a special place of imagination. Think of this as envisioning, if you will. Again, it’s a creepy sort of envisioning, but it will likely end up being a key to success for you in both your life and career.
Since you’re reading this, I cannot ask you to close your eyes, but I will ask that you read slowly…stopping ever so often to allow the scene I’m about to describe to become vivid in your mind. So, don’t just read what I’m about to say. Feel it. Touch it. See it.
Here goes…
You have probably heard the saying: “In life, you have to play the hand you are dealt.”
Some people use this statement as an excuse to whine about all their problems, while others get busy playing the cards in their hands in order to become winners. Either way, the approach you take ends up being your key—your key to success or your key to failure.
Remember E+R=O? This equation helps us understand that we cannot control the events that happen in our lives, but we can control how we choose to respond. And it’s our responses, not the events themselves, that determine our outcomes. Taking 100 percent responsibility can turn any obstacle into an opportunity and can cause our greatest adversity to become our greatest advantage. E+R=O is perhaps the biggest key to success in all of life!
Do you want to open your life up to more and more success? Then become an Opportunity Card Shark…
If you’ve been a reader of this blog for any amount of time, you know one of the thoughts on success that I’m a passionate about is the BIG is Little and Little is BIG principle. In my mind, a major factor to experiencing the BIG things in life that we all want—meaningful relationships, work we are passionate about, making a significant contribution to the world—is getting the LITTLE things right day in and day out. It’s realizing that our small, everyday decisions eventually lead to either big successes or big failures. To me, this is one of those thoughts on success that clearly demonstrates the importance our daily actions.
The poster below clearly communicates this BIG is Little and Little is BIG principle. What’s more, if you click on the link below the poster, you’ll be taken to a website that is loaded with posters that share many of the thoughts on success we talk about here (this is not an affiliate link).
