Go For it With Gusto

“One of the saddest lines in the world

is, ‘Oh come now -  be realistic.’

The best parts of this world were

not fashioned by those who were realistic.

They were fashioned by those who

dared to look hard at wishes

and gave them horses to ride.”

Richard Nelson Bolles, author

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Go for it with the gusto

 

Don’t sit and wait for success to drop into your lap. No surprise here it won’t. If you want success bad enough you have to go for it with gusto.

 

Choose to push your envelope, step out of your comfort zone and pursue your goals and dreams with gusto.

 

Don’t settle for the status quo, as the status quo becomes a dead end street that moves your career in the wrong direction.  It also greatly reduces the like hood of achieving your goals and dreams. The status quo may seem like it’s a safe zone at the time but in reality the status quo becomes the silent killers of careers.

 

To step forward in your career with a purpose you have to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and to stretch your limits to new heights.

 

Success doesn’t come to us.

 

If you want to achieve your goals and dreams you have to be willing to go after them with gusto and to stretch yourself and do what others can’t or won’t do.

 

Think and step out of the box of your comfort zone; look for a creative direction and solutions.

 

And once your have your directions go after your goals and dreams and go for it with gusto.

This is so true in these troubled times. Things aren’t going to drop into your lap any more. If you want to succeed you have to go after it and give it all you got and some. The good news is that you will reach your goal if you work at it hard enough.

Lou,

 

Thank you for these words.  I feel like I have put all my chips on the table but at least I am all in!  Each day I wake up and push myself, and your words make me feel it is all worth it, every time! 

 

Thank you!!

Lou,

Excellent! It is the visionaries that have changed the world. Not the people who were being comfortably "realistic."

Lou, I do not want to be realistic.. no growth there if we let go of dreams and ideas so easily.  Seems that its been awhile since I've been here... don't know why, but glad to be here.
