What are you participating in right now?

Participation means taking action to change things. It also means living your life to the fullest.

We want things in life, but we don’t want to do the work. We want to be successful, we want people to like us, we want people love us, we want people to be nice to us, we want to be the best, but we don’t want to participate in it.

“You cannot succeed at what you do if you are not fully in it.” You cannot succeed at what you do if you don’t participate in great things, if you don’t take great actions.

“To live a great life is to participate in your own life.” You make your decisions. You make things happen for you, not to you. You choose your friends wisely. You work for a company that fits who you are and what you stand for.

“If you are not participating in your life, you are living a half life, not a full life.”

To live a full or complete life, you must participate in it. Don’t let people take control of your life. You must take charge of your life. You must participate in your own life. If not, you have not started living.

Are you ready to participate in your own life?

Are you ready to take charge of your life? Start now!

Why You Can’t Succeed Alone

We are more connected than we even know. We need people to help us succeed in life. We need more than talent, passion, determination, perseverance, focus, and a dream to succeed.

You need good friends to tell you what exactly you need to hear. It is what you need to hear that will make you a better person. If no one is telling you what you need to hear, it is time to look for one. To be a better person- a better father, a better boss, a better friend, a better neighbor, a better leader, you need someone to remind you that no one is perfect. If not, it is very easy to think that we are perfect.

You need more than your close friends to succeed. You need people outside of your routine to tell you who you really are. You need someone or people who sees things differently than you do. If you do that, your decision making will be flawless.

To do that, reach out to people. Don’t wait for people to come to you. Meet them where they are, where they work, where they play. Listen to them. Show them you want to know them. People want to be heard, known, and listen to. If they know that you are interested in them, they will invite you into their world.

You can’t succeed alone. You need a great team to work with. If not, you will not accomplish much.
