The Great White Shark is the most feared predator on the planet. It relentlessly prowls the waters, hunting where it will and in fear of nothing for it has no natural challenger save the Orca.
However, to be successful, the great white shark must do one thing. It must keep moving forward at all times. If this particular shark stands still, it becomes just another drowned carcass swallowed up by the vast ocean and fed upon by others.
Successful people across the board share this shark-like trait. They keep moving forward, they are diligent, they don’t give up and they work as hard and as long as necessary to reach their goal. they learn from their failures but they don’t live in them. They refuse to drown in mediocrity.
Everyone wants to be successful, and if it were easy, everyone would be. But it’s not easy and therefore, too many are not.
Life will inevitably throw obstacles in path, adversity will strike and circumstance will conspire against you.
Look around you, there are plenty of talented and gifted people who failed to reach their full potential because for them, the price was too high, it was too hard, it took too long so they gave up the fight. Quite often, it is not talent that makes the difference but perseverance.
Be the shark, keep moving forward. Your dreams, your goals, your success is worth fighting for.
Remember,
The road to success is a toll road and that toll of diligence and hard work, MUST be paid.There is no shortcut around hard work and diligence.
You were born to accomplish great things. Don’t drown in the sea of mediocrity. Keep moving forward toward your destiny.
