do you push or pull………….

Do you push yourself through life or let it pull you? I’m talking about whether you push yourself to have the life you want and not just accept the life you get. Not just financially but generally in all aspects…..
We all may know someone that is very successful. Unfortunately many times success is based on how much money you have or how expensive your car is. That is one way to measure a particular kind of success. There are many kinds of successes in life not all of them financial.
But with all the kinds of success there is a common thread that weaves thoughout all kinds of success. That thread is your ability to push yourself to achieve the life you want. You can study 99% of all successful poeple and you will find that they pushed themselves to achieve. They didn’t come home from work and spend the evening watching the latest episode of some stupid sitcom. They probably don’t know who won American Idol or even care. On a side note I think television is like the gladiator games of Rome….used like a diversion for the masses to not see what is really going on in the world….but that is another article.
Many worked another job, went to school, started a business parttime. But no matter what it was they pushed themselves to achieve, create, learn, or do something to move toward their goals. Sure there are some people that luck out and get what I call “accidental success”. They were in the right place and the right time. That is also the exception not the rule……
But most of them used their 24 hours in a better way than those that are not as successful. It’s always easier to not do the extra work or push just a little further each day. Even something like writing this blog almost daily. It would be much easier to not do the work of writing. But I enjoy the process and I enjoy it that sometimes people read it and send me an email saying how much they like it……writing is one of the ways I enjoy my version of success. What is your version and are you achieving it???
We all get the same 24 hours a day……we can decide whether we push ourselves through life or are just pulled along.
