Love
the Opportunity
by Jim Rohn Somebody
said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily
true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity.
The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and
fortune. Knocking on someone's door may not be something you
love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be
behind that door.
For
example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love
digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't
have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry
onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave
me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so
well, I won't be here long.'"
You
can be inspired by having found something; even though you
are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is
a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven't
learned before.
You don't have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate
America, appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person
who brought you the good news; that found you.
Appreciate
the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself,
appreciate the person who said, "Hey, if I can do it,
you can do it."
If
you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity
you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow,
that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And
soon when you go out person to person, talking to people,
you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the
world.
Every person you meet - what could it be? Unlimited! Maybe
a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to
retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to
come. It's big time stuff. And sometimes in the beginning
when we are just getting started we don't always see how big
it is.
So,
before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember
all success is based on long term commitment, faith, discipline,
attitude and a few stepping stones along the way. You might
not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to
be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the
future.
To
Your Success,
Jim Rohn
