Few things in this world upset me more then seeing a life wasted.  What makes it worse is when somebody actively participants in the wasting of their own life. 

We are all given just one shot at life and the time we have varies greatly from person to person.  Some of us live to see the century mark while others are granted just a few short years and even hours in some cases.  The worst part is that you never know when times up.

The time given to you by your Creator makes no difference what so ever in whether or not you do great things with your life.  My son was born premature and with a disability but in only a few short hours after he was born, he changed my life forever.  He weighed in at only 3 pounds 7 ounces.  He couldn’t walk or talk or roll over or feed himself yet I sensed a strength in him that was indescribable at the time and to this day eludes an explanation.  The doctors had little faith in him and doubted his abilities.  I never did and guess what, I was right. 

Most of us are not born with the challenges that he faced.  Most of us are born with the potential to do and become anything we want.  How far you chose to go and what you chose to achieve in your life is entirely up to you.  One thing is for sure, not matter who you are, what your skin color is, your sex, you ethnic background, whether you were born rich or poor, we all have the exact same amount of time everyday in which to achieve our purpose. 

Too many people throw their lives away and waste the potential they were born with.  What make a guy like Gretzky or Ali or Jordon or Tiger so impressive is not their talents but the fact that they actually put their talents to work.  Each was born with great potential but potential is only half the battle.  You have to make success happen.  All the talent in the world means nothing if you don’t make the conscience effort to achieve.  Tiger was born a gifted golfer, but none of his talents would have matter if you didn’t get out there every single day and hit golf balls until he could grip the club anymore.

Be it in sports or business or helping others, don’t waste, even for a second, the great gift of life that you were blessed.  And if you think for even a minute that you can’t acheive in your life, click the link below and watch the video and give it a second thought.  The only person who can stop you is you. 

It doesn’t matter how you start, it only matters how you finish so finish strong!

Yours in Success,

Dennis
