No One Will Ever Care More About Your Success Than You

How's that new product launch going for you? Did you nail that new sale yet? Business questions. Well, here's a business answer: To get what you want, you have to want it more than anything else you’ve ever wanted in your life. More than anyone else ever will. Because whatever road you take, you'll need to be invested more in your success than anyone else ever will- by a long shot.

When we are brave enough to act, put things in motion and keep them moving, we begin to realize the pursuit of a life that we’ve imagined is worth living, is in fact, worth living. Assuming we give maximum attitude and effort and we plan things out intelligently and thoughtfully, the best bet in life is always the one we place on ourselves.

It’s experience that backs up our “bet”?—?or words. It’s living in the moment that gives meaning to everything. Thomas Paine once wrote:

“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

Empowering our thoughts is something we all can commit to each morning. We cannot live with a“Poor Thinker’s mindset.” In other words, if we think we’ll never do great things, then it’s as sure as 1+1 = 2 that we will not. We’ll never even act. Finding personal fulfillment and joy from our life’s work requires risk!

To risk is to live.

Prove Things to Yourself

“In this life, you don’t have to prove nothin’ to nobody but yourself.”?— ?Charles S. Dutton’s character, Fortune , from the movie, Rudy

At some point, all of your ideas, plans, goals and tasks need to add up to results. FIRST, for yourself. Prove things to yourself. Then, your results should create value. Value for others. Value that enriches the lives of other people and shows genuine creativity and love for why you did what you did.

The best use of your time in life will first, be spent with family and loved ones, truly enjoying those moments and savoring them. I think about that each time I’m with my parents, wife, son, brothers and close friends?—?the people I love. I savor those times and embed those memories into my mind. They mean everything to me, so I always make time for these occasions.

The second best use of your time will be pursuing the dreams that have been planted in your heart?—?doing the work and creating whatever it was you were put here to design. Finding yourself is the beginning of the journey. Through faith, hope and perseverance you’ll continue on your journey toward discovering your purpose, which is your unique why that only you?—?now and forever?—?have been given.

Your Opportunity

You have the opportunity to blend your unique talent with enthusiasm, spirit and moxie, creating things and helping others, like no one else ever has in history. There’s a tremendous amount of power in that. There’s pride in that. It’s a lot of responsibility, and equal parts exciting and exhilarating. I can assure you?—?you need to desire and want this more than anyone else.

Success, however you personally define it, will always require that you care and that you work harder, smarter and more efficiently than anyone else. Even when the value that you create is for others. This mentality of desire is absolutely imperative for continuing on the path of creating beautiful work and delivering value of exceptional quality to whomever you wish to give.

This is your gift, to do with what you choose. If you’re willing to activate this, you will see remarkable results. You will affect the world with love, positivity and value, and your life and those around you will forever be changed for the better.
