Are Your Building Your Wall To Success Properly?


I was playing Lego(tm) with Katie the other day.

We were building a house...and she desperately wanted to build it as quickly as possible.

It was only when she was about halfway through that she realized that she had a MAJOR problem!

Because she had just stacked each block - one of top of another...her house was beginning to become seriously wobbly!

You could literally hear the bricks creak every time she added a new one.

It was no surprise to me that, as she was desperately racing to fit on the roof...the entire building just collapsed under the pressure.

To say that she wasn't happy was an understatement!

Katie hadn't grasped the fact that you MUST use the strength of each block as support for OTHER blocks...by making sure that, like a normal brick wall, there are NO 'joins' where one layer of bricks doesn't overlap with another.

YOUR success 'foundations' MUST be exactly the same as that brick wall.

It's pointless running around 'fire-fighting' your way through life.

You MUST make sure that YOU are in CONTROL of where the 'bricks' end up in YOUR wall.

YOU need to make sure that YOU are the person who decides what YOU are going to do.

It's pointless relying on someone else to build YOUR wall...they're hardly going to take as much care with it as you are, aren't they?

By the same token...if you approach what you want in life in a haphazard way, then you WILL get some 'weak spots'...some of which won't become apparent until much later on...when the pressure gets too much for them to bear.

So...if you are going to do SOMETHING with YOUR life...do it RIGHT!

Never forget the saying that 'a bad workman always blames his tools'.

YOUR tools are YOU...so you've only YOURSELF to blame if, because you haven't built it properly, YOUR wall comes tumbling down!
