Wednesday, August 20, 2003 Life's Rewards By Josh Hinds (c) 2003 Life Rewards those who aren't afraid to set out after their dreams... How many times have you heard that? I’m guessing more than once -- heck, we all have. Now let me ask you, have you ever felt as though you were not quite living up to your full potential? My guess again is that’s a yes, right? First off, if you find yourself in the group that answers yes, let me tell you here and now that you are not alone. Furthermore, no matter what society might tell us, we all have times where we feel as though we aren’t quite performing at our personal best. Now my friend, hold onto your hat, because here is where the entire tone of this column is going to take a BIG turn... Let me tell you right off the bat that the feeling is simply a state of mind. The positive of that being that just as quickly as the feelings of inadequacy can set in, so can they shift to a more positive, upbeat feeling with regards to the road we’re on. One thing that can be helpful is to set up and keep nearby personal reminders that our moods (no matter how less then stellar, we may feel at the time) do shift for the better. Equally as important, is taking the time to recount your past achievements, believe me, it will do wonders to adjust your outlook on things. Finally, be proactive, by that I mean to think of ideas, and begin implementing immediately the things that you believe will set you back on the right track -- the track that makes us feel as though we’re in control of our lives. Simply put, don’t wait for things to change. Instead, put into play those things that will create the change you wish to see...

I am here, NOW to debunk this way of thinking!... First off lets look at the type person who would have you believe this... Often these are folks that are not very forward thinking people themselves. If they were I can't help believe that they'd be looking towards helping you to understand that many great things take time to build. Rome was not built in a day, and you'll find that some of the greatest (lasting) success stories in history didn't happen overnight either. This applies whether we're talking careers, businesses, love, friendships, you name it. Sure the folks who move 90 to nothing might do well, but just because it works for them doesn't mean you're a failure if that approach isn't what works for you. Remember that last statement and Commit it to memory. Sadly, life is filled with people who make use of the "hard sell" approach. Don't be ashamed if this is not what works for you. There are literally countless examples of people that are truly successful in various areas of their lives that will tell you that in the end it matters not if you're a tortoise, or a hare -- success is just as sweet. Let me leave you with one closing thought... The speed at which we travel is not near as important as being able to honestly say to ourselves at the end of the day -- I gave it my best and I had a heck'uva time along the way...
