I'd like to offer something if I may. Years ago, I was preparing a talk about “success” for University grads. We ancient alumni get pressed into this service for convocations every year. But my talk gave me sleepless nights. I knew something scary about “success” these young people probably didn’t want to know. Even so, I felt obligated to hold up my red flag. So I did. Here’s the gist of it. Those graduates wanted a speech filled with precisely the success principles Jonathan has so eloquently summarized here and in other articles. These principles, if applied to your life, really can make you successful beyond your wildest dreams. But they probably won’t for one simple reason. True success is about building …..YOU. Not a business. Not a mountain of cash. Not a monument. YOU. So let’s stop and think for a second. These success principles are just tools. And what happens if you don’t know what you’re making? If you don’t know who YOU are….all the tools in the world won’t help. Chances are you don’t have a clue who you are right now either, because only one in millions does in today’s world. Now we get to the scary part. What happens if you use the success principles without knowing who you are? Simple. You build the life of somebody else’s dreams. You pretend to be something you’re not. By now you may be wondering how to figure out who you really are. The short answer is, you have to change the way you see the world. The way we’ve been taught to see things just won’t let you. Ciao.
