Morning Motivator – In The Place You Are Supposed to Be…

First and foremost, thank you to my good friend, Alan Cunningham, for writing this Morning Motivator. I have been asking him for a long time to make a contribution and I couldn't be more pleased to see this come through just a few days ago. Thank AC.

Prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Celtics coach Doc Rivers made this statement to his team, in reference to the Finals... "Right now, we are where we thought we would be, not where we think we should be."

I thought about that for 10 min and came to this conclusion... EVERYONE, no matter where you are at in life, are EXACTLY in the place you have worked for... If we think we should be elsewhere, you have to amend/add on to/adjust what you are doing CURRENTLY... whether it be more focus, more passion, knowledge, whatever...

One tank of gas will not get you from Nashville to New York... You have to continue to put in more...

Too many people think they don't get what they deserve, or what they worked for... Sometimes that may be the truth... But I think for the most part, individuals are exactly where they have "worked" to be...

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:

I think Alan makes a TREMENDOUS point and when I read this I found it CHALLENGING to accept that I am PRECISELY at the place that I have worked for. Occasionally, we are prone to FRUSTRATION about our position in life – finances, job title, relationships, health/fitness – yet when we consider what we are today is simple the RESULTS of ACTIONS taken days, months or even years ago, we find that the only way to PREVENT further frustration is by doing the HARD WORK we have failed to do up to this point.

I am one like that likes to say, "Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. From here you choose your HAPPINESS or FRUSTRATIONS. If you want to be SUCCESSFUL, in whatever sense that is, you simply ACT accordingly, do the WORK and make the SACRIFICES – you WILL, most assuredly, ACHIEVE every dream you have in the EXACT time it should happen.

Trust in GOD, BELIEVE in your abilities, SHARE with others and SUCCESS will find its way to you… Thanks again Alan.

Cheers,
Zach
