Success

“Success, real success, in any endeavor demands more from an individual than most people are willing to offer-not more than they are capable of offering.”
James Roche

How much are you willing to offer in order to acheive real success? Almost everyone will agree that they want more money. Of course they want to be rich. We're jealous of rich people. But are they willing to do what it takes to become rich? That is the big question. We can find plenty of reasons why we aren't willing to do what it takes. We aren't willing to work 16 hours a day. We aren't willing to give up our weekends. We aren't willing to seeing our family and friends. We aren't willing to give up our hobbies and recreations. We aren't willing to risk our time, energy, and start-up capital with no guarantee of returns.

We aren't willing to, but we can. It is within our capability. There are three levels of wanting something. You can want success (which means you'll take it if it's given to you, which it usually isn't). You can choose to be successful (this is better because it means you take responsibility for avoiding other alternatives). You can commit to being successful (this is when you will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes because failure is not an option). People who commit to being successful are the ones who find success.

Everyone is capable of committing to be successful. If you want it enough, you can do it. Success is demanding a great deal from you; but you have it within you to give it all you've got, and when you do, the universe will bend over backward to bring it to you.
