How many times have you used the excuses to rationalize your way out of success? Zig Ziegler calls the phenomenon "Stinkin' Thinkin" and warns us about "hardening of the atttitudes."
Wilma Rudolph is an example of how an undying belief in one-self can be the catalyst to overcoming problems. Polio took a tool on Wilma as a child. For six years she wore braces and could not walk, but she believed the braces would someday come off. The doctor was doubtful Wilma would ever walk correctly, but he encouraged her to exercise. Wilma didn't understand that she might be permanently handicapped. She thought that if a little exercise was good, a lot must be very good. When her parents were away, she would take off the braces and try again and again to walk unaided. When she was eleven, she told her doctor, "I have something to show you." Wilma removed her braces and walked across the room.
She never put them on again.
Wilma wanted to play sports. After some false starts at basketball, she finally confronted her coach, saying "If you give me ten minutes a day, I will give you in return a world-class athlete." The coach laughed uncontrollably but agreed to give her the time. When basketball season was over, Wilma turned to track. By age 14 she was on the track team, and by sixteen she encouraged to prepare for the Olympics. Wilma won the bronze medal at the 1956 Olympics and three golds at the 1960 games!
Belief in yourself and hard work can make you a world-class individual in whatever it is you choose. What will you have to sacrifice? Can you overcome failure?
"What you get by achieving you goals is not as important
as what you become by achieving you goals."
