Making Things Happen

January 7th, 2010 by gforce14
    In our ongoing series concerning the habits of successful people, I have identified three basic types of people in the universe.

  • Those that make things happen,
  • Those that watch things happen,
  • Those that are not quite sure what happened.

So Today’s first question is which one are you? I am hoping avid reader that you are the type of person that makes thing happen. If you fall into one of the other two categories, Houston we have a problem.

Again, as I have been saying all week, this sounds pretty simple right? Not always, it is very easy to slip into one of the other two categories, and you may not even realize that you have.

Have you been at the same boring job for years?

When was the last time that you did something that you would say is a little crazy?

When was the last time you tried something new?

If you answered yes, I don’t know & I don’t know, you may have slipped into the category of someone who is watching things happen.
Why?
We only get one chance at this life as far as I know,( no offense to any of my Buddhist readers out there) so why not live life that way? Go Take a dance lesson, sky-dive, go back to school, do something NEW, something different to get yourself out of the deep rut that you are stuck in. I can guarantee you in your later life years, you are not going to remember a random Tuesday sitting behind you desk, that is the same as the last Tuesday was, and the one before that. Jump out of an airplane, and you’ll remember it forever……
I guess that I am talking about have a passion for everything that you do if you want to succeed. If you bring everything you have to everything that you do, everyday, you will win.

Moving on, are you not quite sure of what happened? Again I would like to know why? I am going to site a personal example here. Up until somewhere around my 36/37th birthday, I had a 32″ waist and weighed 185 pounds. Well, I looked up a 42 and I had a 38″ waist and weighed 245 pounds. I remember saying to my wife, WHAT HAPPENED?? I really didn’t know, I wanted to chalk it up to getting older, I tried to find every excuse that I could for what happened. The reality of what happened is again simple. I stopped paying attention to my body. I took me stepping out of the shower and looking at the fat guy in the mirror one random Tuesday, to make me really wake up.

What Happened I again asked myself, then it hit me. Who cares what happened when I wasn’t looking, the question was what was I going to do about it. Life does sometimes just happen when you stop paying attention, and for awhile I was one of the people that was not quite sure what happened. My 43rd birthday is coming up and what I did about what happened, was to join the Trump Network, make a plan and then work my plan, the fat guy in the mirror weighed 212 pounds this am. Life is a journey, not a destination my friends so go out and make something happen today.

    Great post. I have a plaque on my desk that reads LIFE isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about CREATING yourself. And that takes action! Just do it.
