Today is a special day in your life. It is a day that your life can change for good if you catch the essence of today’s article. I want us to make sure, today, that you never, ever get to say: if only I had known. That statement might come in too late, seeing how short life on earth can be. .
Do you recognize any of these names? If you don’t, Google those you don’t recognize and read.
They are Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Albert Einstein, Florence Nightingale, Walt Disney, Tiger Woods, Pele, the Wright Brothers, Martin Luther King Jr, Stevie Wonder, Jesse Owens, Picasso, Beethoven, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell among so many others.
Now, names of people that can fit in that category are in the thousands and millions.
Study each of these persons. There is one thing you will find about ALL of them. They were/are great, but the greatness did not result from formal education, connections with people high in society, rich family backgrounds, or academic qualifications.
They discovered, developed, and served their unique gifts to humanity.
Note that the great names I cited above did not go after greatness and popularity. No! They went after their gifts and sought to be good at what they did. Then, greatness and wealth found them as a result.
Now think carefully about it, make up your mind and stop the senseless pursuits in your life. Find and start using your gift. Buy and read a copy of my book, Do Yourself a Favor. Get Up! and Move!. It is guaranteed to torment your soul positively if you have been sitting on your gift and doing nothing about it. Reading it will force you to get up and move. Do you know why? Your greatness, wealth, influence, fulfillment, and everything about your life are in your gift. Period!
Will you act now or get up someday and say OMG! If only I had known? On that day, it might just be too late.
What are you going to do?
