What's Our Legacy?
By Paul McCabe
Step back for a moment and examine our society. We're united by celebrity culture, instant gratification and short attention spans. We're encouraged to dream of overnight success and most of us are hungry for it, but we consistently resign ourselves to considerably less than best. However we measure it, success usually looks like someone else.
We believe that success is an accident of birth, or the random outcome of fate. So, it's luck that leads someone else to write a bestseller, enjoy stardom, build a new business or make millions. The strange thing is that, while we're all hungry for success in life, and we believe that we have a right to succeed, we just don't expect to. Most of us are happy to sit around pretending that we're OK without it. Worldwide, we seem to be waiting for ourselves to show up, passively hoping for a series of lucky breaks, pretending to ourselves that success is hiding around the next corner, waiting to present us with out pre-packaged future.
Is that what we're willing to accept? The good news is that success truly is around the next corner, but it's waiting for us to show up. We have to choose to make the turn. If we want to win the lottery, we have to buy a ticket. I've put this book together because it's time to get up and do something. Deep down, we're all hungry for success. If you accept only this, accept the reality of that continuous success hunger.
People who succeed do so because they know that progress wants to happen. They've stopped pretending that everything's OK and they're hungry for a new world. Successful people make the choice to succeed; it's as simple as that.
We've got to stop listening to all the dream-busting reasons why something can't be done. We've got to stop making lists of all the ideas we'd act on, if only we had the time. We've got to stop just wishing. We've got to stop just hoping. We've got to stop just praying. We're all full of untapped energy, potential energy that's stored with us, just wanting to happen. It's time to stop waiting for ourselves to show up because, WE'RE HERE, IT'S NOW, and there's no better time to choose to succeed.
