Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."
-- Booker T. Washington, Educator
Consider this....
It was once said that opportunity and fortune were brilliantly disguised
as problems and challenges.
Here is what I know. Too many times we judge our success on what we have
achieved. We look at our scorecard and not our effort. We look at the end
result and not the means to get there.
Too many people define themselves by what title they hold, the car they drive or
the things they have. But while such things are admirable and desirable, the success
one achieves has more to do with how they are obtained rather than if they are obtained.
Illustrated Properties knows this and that is why over time they have proven to be one of
the most durable, and respected real estate companies around. They understand there will
be challenges, obstacles, and because they have seen and been through these areas of concern
they have the confidence, knowledge, and wisdom to get through it.
What about you? Do see your obstacles as opportunities? Do you see your challenges faced today
as choices that will lead to success tomorrow? Or, are you simply focusing on what you have or don't have now?
Life knocks you down. Take your hit and get up. Life will knock you down again. So what? Get up. Don't give up.
You have value to offer, and greatness to give and the biggest obstacle you will ever have is truly understanding and embracing
that fact when things seem worst.
Look for those obstacles my friends...they make you who you are...they help you become who you will be. You getting through
them IS the true measure of your success. Handle it.
Best,
Dennis
