Motivational Monday: Beat all odds!

Motivational Monday: Beat all odds! Motivational Monday: Beat all odds!

We can learn a lot from the work ethic of a determined horse. After watching Secretariat this weekend I was left with a sense of awe because, despite the various challenges he faced, he overcame adversity and became a true champion. He may just be the most amazing race horse to ever live!

To be successful we:

  • Should be raring to go
  • Must enjoy what we do
  • Be disciplined to follow through
  • Remain steady throughout the course
  • Know where we stand with our competitors

It took just 3 days to prove to the world that Secretariat could beat all odds and take the Triple Crown but it took a lifetime to get him there. Everything that we have done in the past has brought us to this moment in time so let's get out there and make it happen, who knows what the day or two or three will bring?!

Happy Monday to you all!

Wanda.. It is so true what you say.  No one sees how long and the many hours one sacrifices to get where they want to go. 

I will be reblogging this... I hope you don't mind.  This is just too good to not have others read it, who might otherwise miss it.
