What It Takes

We all work hard, we’ve got our goals that we want to reach, and sometimes we get discouraged when it seems like things aren’t going our way.  Between the newsletters, the websites and my books, I’m writing every day.  It can be difficult basically being a one-person crew and competing against websites that have lots of staff and financing.  But what keeps me going is that this is my dharma, my passion and my purpose.  I don’t give up because this is important to me.  My husband sent me this quote from basketball superstar Michael Jordan: “I’ve missed over 9,000 shots in my career.  I’ve lost almost 300 games.  26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot, and missed.  I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.  And that is why I succeed.” I think each one of us has got what it takes to make our dreams come true.  After all, we wouldn’t have the dream if we were not capable of fulfilling it.  So whether you’re shooting baskets or writing newsletters or selling fruit or teaching kids or whatever it is, keep up the good work!  I’m rooting for you!
