One day a partially deaf boy came home from school with a note. It suggested that his parents take him out of school. The note said that the boy was "too stupid to learn."
When the boy's mother read the note, she said, "My son Tom isn't 'too stupid to learn.' I'll teach him myself."
When Tom died many years later, the people of our nation paid tribute to him by turning off the nation's lights, which he had invented, for one full minute.
Thomas Edison invented not only the light bulb we read by, but also the motion picture we watch and the record player we listen to. He has over one thousand patents to his credit.
How many Thomas Edisons are out there? How many people told you can't do something or you won't succeed in that? I'm sure almost everyone has experience being told they were not smart enough or they wont succeed in a goal they have. The naysayers are always going to be around but you have to use that as your fuel, as the steam to power your dreams. Most importantly you have to fuel yourself with positive food. Reading books, attending seminars, associating with people with a similar mindset as you is going to play a major role in your success and accomplishing your goals. It's always too early to quit, it's never too late to start, you have to keep pushing towards the success you want. Most people don't understand the patience involved in becoming successful, knowing to go for long term success and not get rich quick schemes. These are the people who quit after 90 days or 6 months of them not achieving their goals or the success they want. Not being patient is the number 1 reason people don't reinvent themselves when creating their story. They feel if their success doesn't come in a year or second year, it's not going to work, they end their story too soon. Every successful person has a story, a story of how they transition to the person they are today, how they went from the old them to the new them. How they stopped hanging around negative people. You have to change your atmosphere and daily habits. What will your story be? Now is the time to start creating your story, how you developed discipline, patience and created that unstoppable attitude.
The time is now for you to embrace your life in the deepest most powerful way and to make sure you put yourself on a track that's going to lead you to your unadulterated success!
Don't ever let others tell you what you can and can't do. Do what others don't to have tomorrow what others won't!
