It Is Up To You
One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career. Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret. This isn't true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you. The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you - you must do it yourself. Now, some people may say, "Jim, that's a lot of responsibility." Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do - just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. "It is up to you" is a great blessing! Here's why: 1. You get to chart your own destiny. 2. You can reap what you sow. 3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. 4. You experience the joy of self-determination. Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? DO you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, "It is up to you?" You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you. And that is very exciting! To Your Success, Reproduced with permission from Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine.Copyright 2005 Jim Rohn International. All rights reservedworldwide.
