History is a Learning Tool
ByHistory is a great learning tool. You can read the biographies of great men like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. and so many others, learning from their actions and more importantly from their mistakes. As I write these posts I am sitting across from a wall of book that I have bought, read, re-read and studied over the course of the past three decades. These books include but certainly are not limited to; goal setting, writing skills, presentation skills, sales skills, consulting skills, relationship skills, memory building, computer programming, how to be a better parent, how to get everything you want faster than you thought possible and well you get the idea, the list goes on and on and on.
So the key message I want to share is this short little post is that while I write to share bits and pieces of knowledge on goal setting, motivation, success (personal and professional); know that it is not JUST my personal take on these topics. I am merely making an attempt to share my personal version of what you are able to do, be and have by empowering yourself via goal setting, motivation, etc. Call it my personal distillation of what I have read combined with what I have experienced over those three decades and in some cases even longer.
But, do not just take my word for it, go out and get yourself another source of information. Read another blog, get a book and another book and even another if that’s what it takes. What I truly want you to do is to find whatever catalyst you need at this moment in your life to sit down and choose your own worthy goal, to set your Success Atlas and begin making it come true in your own life this very minute. Not tomorrow, not next week, next month, next year or a decade from now. I want you to take some step, small or large, to begin making your dreams come true TODAY.
It would sincerely be one of my most honored blessings if someday someone came up to me and said, “Tracy, because of you I….” and they told me about a goal or dream they realized. That they became something that made a difference in their life or they did something that was a dream of theirs.
One day I know for a fact that I will be sitting the front porch of my home, rocking slowing in a rocking chair overlooking my yard. Listening to the birds sing and inhaling the sweet smell of the day. I will tell my grandchildren of some of the things I have done. I will share with them some of the mistakes I have made in the hopes that they will not have to make those same mistakes. Then I will tell them of that person I was able to reach out and touch and move them to live the life that they dreamed, desired and deserved.
When you are sitting in your rocking chair later in life, what stories will you be able to tell?
Think Successfully & Take Action!
