"There Are No Straight Lines To Success"


I came across an interesting quote as I was 'surfing' today...

"There are no straight lines to success."

What this means is that your path will always be up,down,left, right, and there will be many dead-ends.

Take a cue from the most 'results-oriented' living things on earth - plants and trees. In the natural world - there are no 'perfect' straight lines. Stalks zig-zag up to catch the sun, roots stretch out in all directions in search of water, flowers only bloom and blossom for short periods every year.

There are a lot of flowers that only bloom for a few days every year - yet their whole 'reason' for growing and development the rest of the year is solely devoted to that very aim.

What if I was to say to you that you would have ups-and downs all year - except for one day when you get paid a year's salary as a bonus for getting through it. Would you accept that?

Would you look to learn from the 'disappointments' instead of letting them crush you?
Would you spend more time doing the things that excite you - rather than worrying about what you haven't got?

Wouldn't that be great?

What if I told you that you would have four YEARS of ups-and-downs in return for a wonderful, happy, wealthy rest of your life?

More difficult perhaps? But acheivable - nevertheless.

The practical ways of doing this could fill an entire encyclopaedia set - there are so many opportunities open to you to acheive it.

But...

Most people can't look beyond this minute, today, this week, this month - let alone this year. They let things get on top of them - and then fool themselves into thinking that, because they are facing the wrong way today - then they are always going to carry on in that direction.

You now know otherwise.

Remember - just because you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel - you know that it is always there.
