Success Knows No Boundaries

Why is it so much easier to convince ourselves that we cannot succeed than convincing ourselves we can?  That when sharing our dreams and visions within our circles we find skepticism, negative reinforcement and get tons of advice on why we can't have it all.  I shared before, when telling a real close friend of my intent to resume my education and get my Law degree, he responded, "man you should be planning for retirement - not trying to be no lawyer."  Wow, thanks for the encouragement bruh.  ha ha ha   But I'm so glad I filter that madness out.  I have learned to love HATERS, they motivate me.  Their comments, their looks of disdain and their sit back and wait for me to fail attitudes.  But I have learned in this life, "Success Knows No Boundaries."

Anyone ever heard of Colonel Sanders?  Founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken - of course you have.  Well my friends, he was 65 years old when he found KFC.  A little more well known, a man named Ray Kroc.  A milkshake machine salesman until age 52 when he bought one hamburger stand and then founded McDonald's.  Yea, success knows no boundaries.  You ever eat a Famous Amos cookie?  41 years old when he founded Famous Amos and if you read or watch TV, you have to of heard of "Little House on the Prairie."  Laura Ingalls was 65 when she wrote the now famous series.  You may limit yourself based on what you perceive as your limitations or worse, what others perceive as your limitations.  But I'm teaching my players, "the only limitations you have are those you place on yourself."  No Limits my friends, if you can dream it, thru work and determination, you can achieve it.

So, you try and you fall down.  What now?  Get back up, dust yourself off and try again.  Success knows no boundaries.  Walt Disney filed for bankruptcy and recovered.  William Ford, yes, bankruptcy and recovered.  Hershey, him too - but recovered.  You see, don't let a set back or failure keep you from pursuing your dreams.  When I was learning how to ride a bike and later learned how to be a "stunt" bike rider (well before X-Games), I fell off that bike hundreds of times and still have the scars to prove it.  Knees, elbows, fingers, toes, shins - war wounds incurred trying to become the best stunt bike performer around.  You may get some scars, you may shed some tears, hurt feelings and bruised egos - my friends, dust yourself off and get back in pursuit. Many find a passion, but few follow through.
