People are continually asking me where I get the ideas for these "Time To Think" articles. Well I get them from a variety of sources. Literally all day long I'm writing titles down which come to me by observing people in person and on TV and taking note of what they're saying and doing. Actually, I got the idea for this particular article by reading a quote by the famous Irish writer George Bernard Shaw who was indeed full of a whole lot of wisdom coupled at times with biting Irish wit. Shaw wrote "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." How well put there by George Bernard Shaw. When I first read that quote, I immediately wrote down the title of this article "Life is a do it yourself project." Yes indeed it is!
Now let me ask you a question. Do you know a whole lot of people who are waiting for someone to give them a break, so to speak, an opportunity to make it in life? I'm sure you do know several people who are rather stupidly waiting for others to assist them with every facet of their life. My friend, if you fall into this category, basically of losers, I implore you to take today's message very seriously, life is a do it yourself project. Yes it is!
You've got to stop waiting for others to open doors for you to go through, and instead get up off your you know what and go out into the world and make what you want to happen, happen. As Dr. Denis Waitley put it in his best selling book "The Psychology of Winning", "Losers just let things happen. Winners make things happen." Yes indeed, if you want a successful life, you're going to have to make it happen.
There's no doubt about it, life is a do it yourself project. Yes it is! Sure there are others who can indeed assist you, just like with any do it yourself project, however you my friend have to take the initiative and thus start to build the kind of life you really want to achieve. This means number one, you've got to put your "thinking cap" on and thus formulate a plan in your mind about where you want to go, the kind of life you desire, and how to achieve it. Number two, you need to spring into action, and thus start doing what needs to be done to bring the plans for your life to fruition. Number three, you need to stay in touch daily with your maker, God, who will assist you with creative ideas coupled with the stamina and guts to keep you going as you build the kind of life you desire.
