Strategies for Success & Mastering Your Potential

How do breakthroughs happen?\nOne of the things I stress about why you shouldn\u2019t quit is that you need to press and keep pressing everything to get the most out of the opportunities afforded to you. An analogy I like to use to explain this is a blade of grass pushing through the soil to enjoy everything the sun has to offer. The fragile bit of grass is beneath tons of soil and stone.\nIt doesn't know if it is getting nearer to the surface and the sun, it only knows the direction it must keep pushing. Not until the instant it breaks through the cold soil into the light does it know the effort will be rewarded.\nA blade of grass, of course, doesn't suffer from the doubt and second thoughts that make our path seem harder as we get closer to our objective. In fact, so many times when we are just about to succeed and grow free in the light is when we quit because the dirt is just too hard.\nThat isn\u2019t what you want to do. In order to break through and become the person you want to become, you have to weather the layers of uncertainty and get through the \u201crocks\u201d of life. Bet on yourself and the abundance of the universe with confidence knowing that when all is said and done everything the \u201cSun\u201d or \u201clight\u201d has to offer will be worth the effort and trials. Everything will come in the right way at the perfect time ... just don\u2019t quit.
