Today You Can Start to Turn Your Life
Around
Every day is the day that turns somebody's life around
forever. Is TODAY that day for YOU? By the end of this note,
you'll know the answer.
Think about the successes you've experienced so far in life,
and I'll bet you can point to a particular moment in time when
each one began, just like the heroine of this brief but
powerful story:
One evening, not many years ago, a young housewife realized
she didn't have enough cash on hand to buy some of the
groceries she needed for the rest of the week.
As a stay-at-home mother and wife, she was entirely dependent
upon her husband for income. So, when he arrived home from
work that evening, she asked him for an extra 10 dollars.
Hearing the question, he turned to her with visible
irritation. He heaved a sigh, rolled his eyes, and asked,
"What for?" She was stung by the contempt in his voice, and by
the humiliation she felt at having to grovel for a measly 10
dollars. And in that instant, she made a decision: She would
never ask another person for money, ever again.
Today, this same young woman is the vice president of a
prestigious company, pulling down a hefty six-figure salary,
with a string of promotions behind her and many more sure to
come.
Indeed, she has never asked anyone else for money since that
fateful day. And she never will.
In hindsight, it's easy to recognize just where, when, and how
a success story started.
But what about the successes you haven't yet accomplished -
the unrealized goals, dreams, and wishes you're harboring
right now?
We're all looking for a transformation in some area of our
lives. It could be something as simple as a new wardrobe. Or
as significant as finding a whole new career path.
No matter how big or small your current dreams may be, if
they're ever going to become a reality, it will be because of
one critical day in your life's journey.
The day when you hear the idea, experience the episode, or are
hit with the realization that somehow, mysteriously, makes all
the difference in the world.
The day when you finally get that elusive "missing piece"
you've been waiting for - the thing that suddenly empowers you
to actually do the thing you've only dreamed of doing up until
now.
