Success = x + y

Success is defined by Webster as a favorable or desired outcome; also   : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence

synonym- a winner!

Formula for Success?  Persistence + Hard work = Success

The greatest indicator of success is “persistence”. Persistence? Just keep on keeping on. Don’t stop going- like the country song by Rodney Atkins

Song goes…………Things go from bad to worse You’d think they can’t get worse than that And then they do….. ……But the good news Is there’s angels everywhere out on the street Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet …The one’s that you’ve been dragging for so long…..Keep on going, don’t slow down If you’re scared don’t show it You might get out Before the devil even knows you’re there…..Keep on moving, face that fire Walk right through it You might get out Before the devil even knows you’re there….

Darkest before the dawn? We always feel like giving up right before we break through the final barrier or crest the hill where we can see the victory?

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.- Winston Churchill

DESIRES + INTENTION + ACTIONS bring S-U-C-C-E-S-S!!!

Einstein said, “If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.”

Well, we could take a lesson from Einstein here. Work and play and keeping your peace. Ever known a person who had an exacting work ethic and a comparable zest for life and didn’t need to explain anything to anyone? In nautical terms: Works like a captain and plays like a pirate? It’s finishing that counts. It’s finishing what we start, completing our projects, persisting when we want to stop, knowing there is a good end point, just around the corner and believing the great hockey player Gretsky- we really do miss 100% of the shots we never take. We will miss out on every good thing, if we hold back. He who hesitates- has lost! Keep going!! You can do it.
