Waiting For The Win

Daily Success Motivation and Positive Thinking

Patience Is Needed
Patience is a virtue. Indeed! One of the greatest temptations of our times is to finish quick, win it all now and win everything. Surely our technologically advanced times has indeed accelerated the rate of response and execution times for all manner of efforts and endeavors. Success and change happens in rapid fashion these days...or so it would seem. There are advantages to these advancements yet we all more have need of patience. We are constantly bombarded with now messages all the time. It seems that winning it all now and winning it instantly is fashionable.

There is many offerings for the quick fix that seduce people into avoiding their real issues and working on their real selves for real success motivation and positive thinking resulting in real winning. We are encouraged to create instant change whether we are told that buying that new car will make us feel better, getting cosmetic surgery or winning the instant lottery. We are told the spend to fix it or gamble on the instant win to fix it.

Either way and all things in between, the result is one of focusing on external solutions that can be implemented now as a solution to something that developed overtime. Now some solutions like cosmetic surgery or buying a new car aren't necessarily quick fixes but more often than they are indeed feel good solutions that don't create real change. They are most useful by people who live from the inside out and they become a fleeting experience from those seeking to use them as a way to medicate what is wrong with them from the outside in.

You will find that you must wait for the win to manifest. Temporary fixes are just temporary fixes. Nothing worth having comes easy. The real work of change will always come from the inside out. We must divert our attention away from the sexy and intoxicating messages that try to persuade us that by changing our physical and material presence first, we are creating the instant change and happiness we desire. It's a big fat lie.

It doesn't have to be hard to achieve your success motivation goals but achievement does require effort and patience. Your current situation did not develop overnight and your win will not manifest overnight. The power to change can be instantaneous but the manifestation of change will take a season to manifest. Your real change is inside and it takes faith and patience for lasting success and enduring character to develop.

Circumstances Occur Overtime, So Does Winning
Often we reach critical mass in a area that needs to be changed and we want immediate relief from our situation. For example, we may find ourselves facing a mountain of bills and debt that have fallen behind because we've made a habit of spending more than we earn. This is a situation that has developed over time and we when finally have tired of fighting bill collectors and the stress of finding ways to meet late payments we just want out. And we want out now! Don't be tempted to wait for your ship to come in (If you didn't send a ship out then a ship ain't coming) by hitting the lottery or some other quick and instant relief.

In order to change that situation we would need to develop a spending plan and a debt reduction plan that will allow us to get financially healthy again and that will take some time. The challenge is in the waiting. We must embrace the mental and emotional maturity of patience to reap the rewards and wins of change. I want you to be encourage on your journey to achieve your goals and change your life. Your challenge is to continue to take action in the face of little to now change realizing that each step is building up to a win that creates a series win. This builds real change and builds character. Have a plan and have faith in your plan to change. Stop what you were doing to hurt yourself and do what you have to do to right yourself.

Realize that your journey is just that...a journey. Your life change consists of a series of actions and experiences that take you from point to point, growth to growth and win to win. When we find ourselves in a crisis and are seeking a way of escape we must realize that our situation is usually the result of a series of actions conducted by us over a period of time. Escaping is not the solution. Planning to win and then waiting patiently while taking real action is the real solution. This is the option the builds characters and add wisdom and dimension to your personal success.

Finish Strong
You don't want quick fixes or cheap wins. You want a win that is rooted in real change. That is, change backed up by real effort that involved a clear plan of action, the commitment to follow through and the patience to endure until your success goals have been achieved. Don't give in or give up too quickly. Don't fall for win now messages that promise instant relief. To really win in the now is to change your mind about the life you are living and choosing to pursue your dreams with faith, patience and perseverance.

Time is on your side not against you. One thing that you can do now and do instantly is start! Time is indeed on your side but you do need to start now and allow your development, change and success to occur. Be patience. Don't give up. Don't measure your success by the message of others or the results of others. Finish Strong rather than trying to finish first or finish now.
