They say 'Anybody can achieve anything'. I don't really believe in that. I believe that everybody can achieve something. Something that means more to them than anybody else, & that 'something' always gives you a shot at it.
Being outside the door when it swings open.
I've read that Frank Sinatra got his big break while working as a waiter. One day, as he was waiting tables, he spotted one of the biggest names in the music industry. And what did Sinatra do? He cleared off a table next to the gentleman and got up on it and sang! He knew he was done at the restaurant for doing so, but how many times would he get this chance? Needless to say, the rest is history.
We never know when we are gonna get that break, the shot at that one thing that will define us. I don't even know what I'm looking for! But for all of those who become successful, there is one key similarity: They were ready. And for every one of those who were ready, there were thousands more who weren’t.
Am I ready?
Do I have enough ammo so that when my shot comes I can perform?
Am I working hard to position myself in the best possible ways near that door now?
It will happen someday. It opens for everyone. It may only open once or it may open many times. It is different for everyone and life just isn’t fair that way. But everybody gets a shot. Will I be ready?
