I AM THE BOSS OF ME

"Never, never, never give up; never give up, never!."

This is the total, famous commencement speech he made to a university graduating class; his last public words; sound advice for all who aspire to achieve their dreams.
Most people have, and know that they have, lots of promise. Before it is realized, however, they accept compromise. They want more but they settle for less. They have big dreams but have relegated those dreams to be mere passing fancies. They desist instead of persist.
More than a year ago, I conceived of seLFTech. Yesterday [Ed: April 2003] it was soft-launched quietly. The official launch will take place on the 26th, once we have worked out any bugs in the system.
It has been a year of frustration; a year of obstacles; a year of roadblocks; a year of barriers, blockage, impediments and obstructions. But we persevered and we have succeeded in creating what was conceived so long ago. A dream come true.
And now, because Sandra and I persisted despite the almost endless list of impediments, we will now go on to create more prosperity for ourselves and many, many other people. We will continue to persist. Our purpose is defined; our passion is intense; the resulting success is just beginning.
Repeated on the bottom of every single page of this eZine is the success formula… purpose + passion + persistence = prosperity.
Define your purpose; ignite your passion; persist, persist and you will achieve your goal; you will prosper.
I have watched so many people quit just as they were within inches of achieving their dreams. I have watched many others keep on keepin’ on despite all obstacles and achieve the realization of their dreams. The difference between success and failure is often one last little step past one last little barrier.
If you want, truly want, to achieve success in life, the formula is plain and simple. Plain and simple to describe, but it takes strength of character to implement, to never, never, ever give up.
Once you have created the ideal and set your purpose, write it down. Fire yourself up with desire and passion and then just keep on moving toward your intended destination, one step at a time flowing past, through or over obstacles like a stream passes over all to flow to the sea. That is how to really go with the flow.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
—Calvin Coolidge
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."
—Henry Ford
