斯圖爾特·羅森/Stuart Rosen

Everybody wants success. Some people aim for it;others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like, when someone else has it. Oftentimes it just seems like something too far out of reach.

The truth is:Success is closer than you think. It's just on the other side. You have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it.

On the Other Side of Fear.

Fear is your biggest obstacle—fear of failure;fear of the judgment of others;fear of actually succeeding. It will trip you up every time. It will cause you to make decisions that may seem“right”at the time, but they're preventing you from actually getting over that wall.

On the Other Side of Excuses.

Success has no excuses. You either get it or you don't. Theminute you fnd a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just noise.

On the Other Side of Obstacles.

Everyone faces changes;different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently;we all have different results. It's how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. An obstacle is something you either fnd a way around or allow to stop you. Remember, you've got to get passed obstacles in order to succeed.

誰都想獲得成功。有的人以此為目標,而有的人則隻是空談。當有人獲得成功時,我們都明白什麽是成功。然而,很多時候,成功看起來似乎遙不可及。

事實的真相是:成功比你想象的要近得多,它就在對麵。你需要對成功充滿渴望,然後心甘情願地去得到它。

成功在恐懼的對麵。

恐懼是你的最大障礙——害怕失敗,害怕他人的評價,害怕真正會獲得成功。恐懼時刻會將你絆倒,它會讓你作出那些在當時看似“正確”的決定,但是你的決定會阻擋你真正去克服那些困難。

成功在借口的對麵。

成功無需任何借口。要麽成功,要麽失敗。尋找借口,不再向成功邁近一步的那一刻,就是你不再獲得成功之時。在成功的交響樂中,借口僅僅是一陣聒噪。

成功在障礙的對麵。

每個人都麵臨著變化,並且不同的時刻有著不同的變化。同樣的挑戰,方式不同,結果也大相徑庭。重要的是,你如何處理每個變化,以及如何應對那些重要的結果。對於障礙,要麽是你找到解決的方法,要麽是它阻擋你前進的道路。記住,為了取得成功,你必須跨越障礙。

心靈小語

成功的秘訣,在於永不改變既定的目的。
