What happens when people go through a life altering experience?
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost everything?
There was a man who was on his way from work and decided to visit his mother's house. Low and behold, on the way there, he was struck by a pickup truck head on. He was air lifted to the hospital and from there he had major surgery to repair a broken femur. After surgery he experienced major complications... his lungs collapsed and he had what doctors feel could have possibly been a pulmonary embolism. All vital organs began to shut down... he was dying.
Doctors saw no choice, but to put him on life support, but one thing kept him alive... was "hope"! It was his belief in himself and that it wasn't his time. It was his belief that God had another purpose for him to go on.
Three weeks later... he was awakened from his coma and realized he was still alive. He embarked on a new journey. No longer was he able to stand up. He could not even hold a fork or spoon to his mouth to feed himself. He had to get assistance to do just about everything.
He was reduced to somewhat of a newborn baby. One thing he did have... was "determination".
He was determined to get back to be an independent individual once again. He was determined to be the man he once was. He slowly, but surely through rehab learned how to perform basic daily functions of a normal person. He began using a walker and taking steps.
He began typing on a computer keyboard once again. It was all in time that he learned how to do
things that he did before this horrific automobile accident. What seemed like a lifetime, in just a little over 5 months later, he relocated and got married. He started to celebrate the gift of life and the second chance that was given to him. He began to preach about God's gift of life and the goodness thereof. He had believed... and made the impossible possible!
What is your impossible? Are you ready to believe in yourself?
Some Keys to Being Successful:
1. Dare Yourself
Success is not given to you on a silver platter. Success on the outside comes from success within yourself. You have to have successful thoughts as a person inside.
Are you challenging yourself? Do you dare to dream? Do you believe that your dreams are impossible?
They are certainly not! It is the impossible that causes you to extend yourself more and reveal to you endless possibilities.
In order to be successful, you have to dare to be great. Dare yourself to do what you thought you could not do. Dare to achieve the impossible. Get out of your comfort zone. Expand your horizons as well as your thoughts and expectations. Dare to dream!
2. Don't Be Afraid to Fail
In order to be successful, you have to be willing to make mistakes and not be afraid. You have to be bold enough to try something and not be afraid of failing. You also have to learn from your mistakes and improve upon them. You can prepare yourself for success through your failures.
3. Have a Desire To Succeed
Your desire is your will to succeed. Successful people aren't necessarily the smartest or the strongest, but they have an undeniable determination and desire to achieve the impossible. You must have that same determination and desire to succeed. Without these things, it will be difficult to stay motivated to accomplish your goals.
4. Be Determined and Make a Commitment
How determined are you? In order to be successful you have to be willing to stretch your imagination and be willing to see a project all the way to the end. Don't quit after your first stumble or your first sign of adversity or failure. Be committed and stay on track. This behavior will not always guarantee, but will definitely put you in line for your success.
5. Work On Your Strengths
Do you have gifts or talents? Do you what you can to develop those talents. You must do the activities to keep your gifts sharp. Educate yourself and learn as much as you can about your gifts. Practicing healthy behaviors will enable you to truly perfect and master your craft.
In conclusion, you must have several things to get you in line for success. Consistency goes a long way. You have to set goals, plan, and believe the Impossible in order to achieve your dreams and be successful at what you wish to accomplish.
So, don't be afraid. Dare to believe the impossible!
