The Portable Pep Talk, Alexander Lockhart.
A wealthy businessman hosted a spectacular party in which he had filled his swimming pool with sharks, barracuda, and other assorted dangerous fish. He then announced to his guests that he would like to challenge any one of them to try swimming across the pool, and he would offer a first prize of either a new home in the mountains, a trip around the world, or the position as president of his company. No sooner had he made the announcement there was a large splash in the water and a man swam rapidly across the infested waters and leaped out on the other side. The millionaire approached the dripping man and said, “That was a stunning performance. What prize do you want?” The swimmer caught his breath and then replied, “Right now I really don’t care about the prize. I just want to find out who the person was that pushed me in!”
As Orrin Woodward and the Team have taught, sometimes we need a little push to get us moving in the direction of our dreams. Sometimes exterior motives are necessary to get us started. But, if you want to be successful, then the push must come from within. We must become ‘self-starters’. Self-motivation is the fuel that gives you the power to push through the walls of adversity toward your goals and dreams. Orrin has quoted the philosopher Socrates who once reminded us, “A man who would move the world must first move himself.” Start today and begin to excel in every area of your life!
