“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain
The Secret of Getting Ahead
“I lost my wife
not long ago,” Neil explained.
The emotion was still raw. It was interwoven with his voice, as if its threads had become imbedded through the use of a loom.
“We’ve been coming here for years. It is our vacation
place.”
He didn’t need to explain, but he felt the need to.
“I understand how life can change in a flash, since the unexpected passing of my wife. So, I’m not going to wait to live my dreams any longer. I
need to be better at that.”
It was clear that these were not just empty words. Words shouted into a deep canyon only to echo back to the caller. Because, he took the moment to do a little, valuable teaching about secrets you and I can use as well.
“To live an exceptional life,” Neil said, “Don’t tell anyone about how great you are. Just be sure to decide what you really want out of life, things such as experiences, work, relationships, and health. Then, systematically create goals you can weave with your purpose.”
He went on to say, “Maintain your humility. And, don’t be the most interesting person in the room. Rather, be the most
interested person in the room.”
Neil then veered off thread to talk about his secrets to sharing success. “See others as collaborators. Be fair. Be straight forward. Be authentic.”
Neil believes goals and their
succeeding success give a person courage. “If a person follows true desire, they’ll provide powerful reasons to reach them,” He says. “When you don’t live with the guiding power of specified goals, life will feel as if you’re running up and down a football field without ever scoring any points or wins!”
Here are some other things Neil shared
spontaneously, “first, be sure to document your goals by making them tangible.”
That’s why he and I were talking together. One of his goals is to create cherished memories with his two daughters. The vacation home he’s in the process of purchasing, in the place he loves to vacation, will be their place, a natural way to facilitate fulfillment of
this goal, to make it a tangible part of their lives. It will become the actualized principle of this deeply desired goal of making cherished memories with the important people in his life.
“Be sure to seek the principle behind your goals,” Neil said as he was about to launch into the climax of his secret of getting get ahead.
“Stop saying you’ll be happy, when! Find new ways to get something you really want. Think about it often. And, find ways to learn some skills you’ve never mastered before. Try new things. Look forward to the future. Be part of where the world is going,” He said without taking another breathe.
“I lost my wife not long ago,” Neil said before sharing the secret of getting ahead.
The emotion was still raw. It was woven with his voice, as if its threads had become imbedded through the use of a loom. He’s not waiting to live his dreams any longer!
