Aladdin & The magic lamp

OMG! Just imagine if there was such a thing as a magic lamp! Or imagine if there was such thing as a mythical genie that could grant us 3 magical wishes!

Wouldn’t life be so much more fun? What would you wish for? I would wish for a few million pounds, a beautiful family, oh a matt black Rolls Royce phantom, a 33 storey office building, my list is endless. Would you be really cheeky and ask the genie for more wishes? [That’s exactly what I would do].

Interestingly, although many of us do not actually believe in mythical genies and magical wishes, we still act and behave like we are awaiting some sort of divine or mythical intervention to make our dreams and desires come true. I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Aladdin and the magic lamp is a cartoon, the genie and his wishes is a cartoon. However, there is another source. There is no magic, no lamps, no genie. Steve Pavlina quoted it best "If you want to achieve some really big and interesting goals, you have to fall in love with hard work". Hard work is the only way to attain sustainable wealth, long lasting relationships or in fact anything worth having. Look closely at some of your role models and you will understand what hard works truly means. I closely model myself against the self-made millionaire and ex-dragons den investor James Caan, who clearly understood the notion behind creating a successful, reputable business empire. James Caan swears by Hard Work! There is no short cut.

Have you guessed?

So today, let’s make a pledge. Let's promise to increase our efforts just 1%. Everything you do Today, make a conscious effort to increase your contribution, attitude and endavours.

Lowell Thomas stated "Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can." A 1% increase in your daily activities will create greater impact in your overall endeavours.

I pledge today "I will increase my efforts by an extra 1% each day". What are you going to give? What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals? The attainment of self-sufficiency requires a exchange, it requires a sacrifice? "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work". (H.L Hunt). Sacrifice seems to be the spoken law for success.

Decide what you are willing give up in order to succeed.

Have a brilliant week
