“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”- Robert Collier, self-help author

Success doesn’t happen overnight. Success doesn’t happen by accident. Success goes to those who are ready to receive it. Success slides away from those who are not ready. If you want to be successful, you must take everything you do seriously. You must not take anything for granted.

It is the little things that you do every day that will bring success to you. For example, if you want to be a writer, you start to write every day. In one year, you will have written more than three hundred pages of manuscript. If you want to learn how to be a great presenter, start to practice how to communicate every day. In a year or two, you will become an expert presenter.

The message here is: “It takes time to be successful. Success takes preparation. A lot of them. Success comes from the little, special things you do every day.”

Whatever you want to do, start today. Start now!

I Want To Hear You

“I want to hear you.” People want to hear us, but we are not listening.

“We judge people before we even have the time to know who they really are.”

We call them names. They are toxic, boring, lazy, dull, too loud, too soft, or even ugly. We call them names to make us feel better about ourselves.

All toxic or bad people want from us is to sit and listen to them. They want to hear you. They want you to understand them before you judge them.

They want to hear you. They want us to listen to them. They want us to appreciate who they are.

They are toxic because they don’t think like us, act like us, and work like us.

“If you want to understand toxic or bad people, change your own attitude toward them.” If you change how you view them, the way you see them will change.

As David Augsburger put it,

“I want to hear you, see what you see, feel what you feel

I want to be heard.

Here me as I hear you,

Listen, I’m listening to you.

So I will speak simply

with clear word windows

that let you see

all the way in

to where I live

laugh

and

cry.”
