Quote of the week for personal growth
Aut inveniam viam aut faciam- I shall either find a way or make one
This is how successful people think- and this is how you need to think.
Hannibal was a successful war general who lived hundreds of years ago. He said he
wanted to invade Rome by crossing the Alps with elephants. In response, his generals
all told him it was impossible. Hannibal told his generals, “I shall
either find a way or make one.” This type of thinking can only lead to success.
When you do not care if others have done it before, when you do not care if
others think you can do it, when you only care about succeeding and doing the
impossible- this is how you have to think. Whatever you are trying to do in
your life it’s probably not going to be easy. Thinking like Hannibal is not only an attitude you
should adopt, but it is a stance with reality. Your mind is incredibly powerful
and can create the reality you desire. You must train your mind with this
mantra. You must look life firmly in the eyes and say, “It will happen,
and I will make it happen.”
Success is an idea, and therefore ways of getting there do not fade with time.
Success does not listen to time, it does not fear time, it
does not even know time exists. The only thing Success does with time is take
it. This pit-bull determination to make things happen was useful for Hannibal
in conquering the Romans, and it is useful for YOU to conqueror obstacles in
your life. You must learn it, and then you must believe it.
A Personal Note
I have had a very rough childhood. I was hurt in ways you don’t like
to imagine happens to little children. Once I was asked by a friend of mine in
the army, in the dead of night as we were driving to the military base, “Mark how did
you make it out of your youth”. I told him I just always knew that I was going
to do better than this. I knew, in my heart of hearts, that I was going to find
a way out or I was going to make one. If you think like this you are taking one
more step closer to your goals. Remember- impossible is nothing.
