How would we rate OUR determination at Wealthy Affiliate?
So this is a question as we go forward in this new week. Ready?
How many NO's would you take until you get a YES?
We have all heard those stories of incredible success. But do we know the back story?
Edison failed at just about everything until he created the phone and light bulb (yeah I know Tesla did it first).
And Abraham Lincoln lost all his elections before he finally became president of this country.
And Steve Jobs took a few turns before Apple became what it is now.
Walt Disney was turned down with his drawings of Mickey Mouse, really?
Einstein was dyslexic and yet created theories that still boggle our minds.
Amelia Earhart was told that women absolutely could not fly. Yet she flew.
Malala Yousafzai was shot by the Taliban and was told she would not speak again. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah. goose bumps. And she said
- “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” ...
And the list goes on and on. People who never gave up. Because their vision was their drive and their life. Shiny object syndrome did not exist for them.
So here is my challenge to both myself and all of us.
What is holding us back today?
And how do we choose to let it go?
What do we need to know that failure is just a stepping stone to magnificent things that are coming into our world?
May this be the day that no holds are on us.
That we are living in our own committed life to all that is success, joy and growth and potential
May it be. And so it is.
YES WE CAN, And YES WE ARE!
in peace and gratitude,

Learn from your mistakes, check your statistics to see what is working or not working, follow the leaders, stay focused, and enjoy what you are doing.
It often takes a lot of no's to get a single yes. Then there are times that you get the yes without even trying. The yes's that are worked for usually mean much more than those that come easily.
It is no different than this example: It is no different than giving your kids something, and making them earn it. When something is earned, and not just handed to them, they take care of it, it means something.
Any business, any yes, that isn't worth earning, usually isn't worth having...there is no value to it...
Well said Ted. Thank you ..here is working so hard to get beyond wondering about getting a yes but instead always getting a yes!
Great! Ariel! Obviously you are a leader. If you didn't get inspired by Ariel our cheerleader you missed it. If you aren't failing you are either dead or on another planet. You have to "do" to "get" in order to "be" something.
Thank you Ariel for being the cheerleader. Who's next? Motivate yourself, stay motivated, and watch what happens to the people around you, they get motivated and they keep encouraging you because you become the fuel, not the vehicle!
"Always Progress!"
Ahh thank you Von. So kind of you. Well for sure I know the potential we have here at WA, and just want everyone to see it live it and use it. Yes? So happy you are here.
A very thick skin Steve until we finally get to that place where only yes's come in..yay!
Another famous quote you forgot to mention
"Do or do not, there is no try!"
Yoda, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
It means just get on with it and see what happens.
