The typical person goes to work every day because that’s what he did yesterday. Thus begins the mindless activities of the day. We are so busy being busy, there is no time for any thinking. Our days are on autopilot. We can mindlessly drive the same route, do the same routines, without a thought of how to do it. We can go through the motions of our daily work, with our minds  not even  engaged. If the only reason for going to work today, is to go to work and get a paycheck,  you will  probably be no more effective today than you were yesterday. The sad thing is,  many people who have been with a company for five years or more do not have five years’ experience. They have one year’s experience five times and no specific plans for making next year anything but a repeat performance.

“No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.” Harry Emerson Fosdick.

The choices we make will ultimately determine how successful we are. If I were to ask everyone of you if you would like to succeed at something, if you would like to make a difference in the world around you, you would all answer YES we do want to make a difference. So my question then to you...What are you doing today to move towards that direction???

It is our everyday steps, our everyday actions, our everyday thoughts and plans that propel us into a brighter future, one of hope and excitement, one of fulfilment and a sense of accomplishment.

“The man who succeeds has a program. He fixes his course and adheres to it. He lays his plan and executes them. He goes straight to his goal. He knows where he wants to go and he knows that he’s going to get there. He loves what he’s doing and loves the journey that is taking him to the object of his desire. He is bubbling over with enthusiasm and he is filled with zeal. This is the man who succeeds.” Anonymous
