The Road to Success


The
= Definite article – Indicates something specific. We must be specific about:

T Time – A goal is a dream with a date on it. It takes time to develop.

H Hope - If there is no hope, there is no dream, no goal, no objectives, and no action.

E Expenditure of Energy. Nothing will happen without work.


Road
= Indicates process. We must fall in love with the process of moving toward success, not just the outcome.

R = Repentance. The word means change of mind, heart, and attitude. Change is necessary.

A = Attitude – The way we approach life (attitude) determines the heights we attain (altitude).

D = Destination – Roads go places. Always have the desired destination in mind.

T = To as a focus. Focus on where you are going TO, not what you are going THROUGH.

O = Obligatory opposition. You must pass this way and there will be resistance to your success.


Success

S = Settle on your source. Know where your connectedness is.

U = Unleash your inner force. Call upon a strength lying dormant in you,

C = Chart your course. Know where you are going and your game plan for getting there.

C = Consider that the course is a concourse. You are not alone.

E = Enforce discipline upon yourself for your own success.

S = Stay the course (Saying it just once is not enough.).
