Determined To Succeed - NO Excuses

Preface / Introduction
This article, which is also in eBook form, was created so others like myself will see that it IS possible to continue on regardless of your health condition and the obstacles that are presented to you.
You CAN overcome them, IF you will only use the strength of your mind and your inner will to survive.
That inner deep down, gut wrenching, burning desire to not just prove to others, but to yourself that you still have what it takes to come back swinging.
That you are NOT not willing to just give up and say "T'm done". You are NOT done, you still have a lot left in you! You CAN still dig way deep, You CAN still overcome, You CAN still fight to survive!!
Don't you EVER give up until there ain't no more! Until you have given all that you can, all that there is, until there just flat out ain't no more.
Then...when that time comes...you will know. But until then...you don't even want to hear about it!

Determined To Succeed - NO Excuses
I have recently started visiting the site called "WakeUpWithLarry"
http://www.wakeupwithlarry.com/
I have REALLY needed to hear what was being said.

You see, I have been on the internet since 2000. During that time I have had 5 heart attacks, one requiring a 5 by-pass surgery, one requiring a 2 by-pass surgery, one requiring stent surgery, one was a warning sign that I was pushing it working 2 1/2 days straight, another warning me pushing it working 20 hours a day three days in a row.

Unfortunately, each heart attack is a temporary set back. You are down in the hospital for awhile, you finally get home, your wife begs you to take it easy, so you do, because she is crying her eyes out staring you right in the face in fear that she is going to lose her husband and be alone.

Then with the help of your loving wife, she props a pillow up in your work chair to help ease the discomfort and pain, because she knows that just standing at the bathroom sink to brush your teeth is tiring enough, but now you must get back to business.

So you make your way to your 30 second commute that for some reason seems much farther than that today. And with the help of your loving wife you plop down in extreme pain into your chair.

You see when they did the surgery they split your chest open, sawed your rib cage on both sides, actually opened you up like a book, removed your heart from your chest, put you on a machine to keep you alive, made an incision on your inner left leg from your knee down to your ankle because they needed the vein for the by-pass, made another another incision on the left inner forearm from your elbow down to your wrist because they need another vein for the by-pass.

And when they put you all back together again, since they had to saw your chest plate in two it is now wired back together and because of the extent of ALL of your incisions you not only have hundreds of stitches, but they also had to use staples which at times feels like they are ripping into your flesh if you move just the slightest wrong way.

After your loving wife helps you get positioned just right in the chair, she must help you elevate your left leg out to one side of your computer desk so as to make sure the incision does not open.
Then she must make sure it is wrapped at the ankle because of all of the drainage that is still seeping from your leg. You can't even wear a sock for any long length of time because it becomes drenched from all of the seepage.

Then your loving wife quickly gets your hydrocodine or oxycodone depending on what level of pain you are in and then fixes you a cup of coffee.

And through all of this, you both know that you will only be able to tolerate the pain of sitting up in that damn chair for only so long. Maybe 2 hours, maybe 4 hours tops. 4 hours is complete agony.
But you both know that you HAVE to do it if you are going to succeed, you HAVE to do it because of the inner burning fire to make it, you HAVE to do it because NOTHING is going to prevent you from achieving your goal of financial freedom and being able to provide your loving wife with all that she desires.

Then your loving wife helps you through the extreme, mind wrenching pain and agony of getting up out of that damn chair, you make your way back to your bed, having to stop what seems like a hundred times to catch your breath and because it feels like your chest is going to explode.

Then the worse part of it all. Making your way back down to that bed and feeling your rib cage shifting on both sides just enough to make you scream out in pain, then you feel your chest plate that is wired together grind, then that leg that is spit open like a melon has to be twisted so you can adjust a turn just before plopping down onto the bed screaming in EXTREME pain, then here comes the chest pain because of all of the stress of what you have just been though. Your loving wife goes running to get the Nitro to pop under your tongue, hoping this is not the big one.

Finally you are able to get as comfortable as you can, your loving wife runs to get you some more pain killers, puts a pillow very carefully under your leg to keep it elevated, puts an extra pillow or two behind your head so you are not laying too flat causing your more pain. Then the next thing you know you dose off in complete exhaustion.

Then you wake up, your loving wife with her hand on your face asks "Well mister are you ready to get back at it?!", then together you go through the process of getting set up in that damn chair, the pain killers, the coffee, propping up the leg, etc., all over again.

All the while you know that each precious moment in time must be spent wisely. Because you definitely do not know how much time that you really have. More so than most people.
You See, in June 2012 we were told that they have pretty much done all they can do. They can not perform any further by-passes, there is no place left for stents, and that according to the stress test, angioplasty and electrocardiogram, I am back down to just 2 open arteries. I have been given additional medication to help extend my life.

The cardiologist and 2 other doctors have asked me what in God's name has kept me going? That they are amazed at my recovery rate, my drive, my will to survive. I tell them because I am determined to accomplish my goals of self employment and financial freedom before I dye and to make sure that my loving wife will be able to live the rest of her life debt free. That I MUST succeed. The cardiologist and the doctors just stared at me smiling. I could not believe it when the cardiologist had a tear running down his cheek, put his hand on my shoulder and said "Amen to that brother". He then turned to the other 2 doctors and said "Wow, how about that!".

You see, I am one of those guys you hear about that had it all and then lost it. Well pretty much threw it away for an ex-wife that said "It or me". So I have had a taste of the good life. I know what it is like to tip the waitress that is struggling to support her kids $50 just before Christmas just so I could see her light up with joy. You know what I am talking about. Passing it forward kind of thing.

When I suffered the whopper heart attack in 2000, working at home became a must. I went out and bought a computer, armed with what seemed like a ton of text books, self taught myself to use it and then self taught myself without a mentor to use the internet, create a website, blogs, write articles, etc. You can type into Google James Deo Dawson Sr "JD", WorkAtHomeBusinessSecrets.webs.com, JamesDeoDawsonSrWorld.info, JDDawsonAssociates.webs.com and I will come up.
James Deo Dawson Sr "JD" typed into Google or Bing search seems to bring up the most.

Now in our humble household, every day is just another adventure. I say "adventure" pretty much out of habit. You see, the wife and I have been through a lot. Each time that we have a new issue to overcome, one of us will say, "Oh well! Just another adventure for Jim and Diane! The adventures of Jim and Diane!

Well, I am more than ready for another adventure today. I am up for the challenge if you are. How about it, are you gonna' come join me in business to see what challenges we can overcome today on our new and exciting adventures?

Sorry for the length of this posting. To me it was all important and needed to be said so you would clearly understand the gravity of being "Determined To Succeed - NO Excuses".

None of us really knows how much time we have on mother earth. People can be so very, very wasteful with the precious time that they have been allowed. Never really understanding just how precious their time is until a catastrophe of some sort enters into their life. Then they quickly and abruptly discover, just how short their time really can be.

So PLEASE treat every minute like it may be your last. Because take it from me, someone who REALLY knows...That next minute....That last look into your loved ones eyes...That last kiss...That chance to change everything and to make your life and your loved ones last moments in time that will be remembered forever...really..really ...special.

Success and all that comes with it will, once accomplished by me, will be my last contribution of giving all I had to my very loving wife. And when my time has come, I will pass knowing that I had accomplished my goal...I finally succeeded..my last gift to my wife so she may live in complete freedom.

Have A Great Day
