Everyday we find ourselves facing another test: Can we succeed today? This isn't just a matter of succeeding at our 
careers, our families, or our personal goals. This is a matter of succeeding at life. You must first succeed at life before you can succeed anywhere else.
Succeeding at life means believing in and taking care of yourself. Remind yourself that you can achieve anything as long as you believe you can. The test starts with you. As you face the individual challenges of the day-schedules, jobs, kids, clients, the world-repeat to yourself just how capable you are. You can handle the fast-paced schedule, the difficult client, and the challenging family as long as you remember that every morning you answered, "Yes, I will succeed today."
At the end of the day, you answer your question not with what you achieved but with every time you didn't quit. Look at what you did accomplish and what to be grateful for. Did you sell that house or condo today? That is quantitative thinking. Think instead in terms of quality. You may not have sold the house but did you give up? Did you do what is best for your client and not yourself? Now to me that is a great day and a big success when so many agents out there thing only of themselves and it shows.
When you couldn't make the schedule you set for yourself, did you cancel everything or reschedule as needed? Did you merely accept that it was not supposed to be that way and move on? By rising to the requirements of the world without giving up, you have assured that at the end of the day you can answer again, "Yes, I succeeded today."
