Do YOU have to be pushed to make yourself a SUCCESS?
Have you ever thought about all the things that you are capable of doing?
Do you often find yourself shying away from taking the next big step?
We often know that we could be doing better than we are now doing, but we are afraid of either taking the next step or what the next step could be?
Have a think about what's stopping you after you read this story
There was a wealthy man who had only one daughter, and as all parents do, they want the best for their children
When the daughter was ready for marriage, he announced it everywhere for all eligible men to take part in a test that would help him determine who was best for his daughter
All the interested men came to the wealthy man's swimming pool, the announced location on the day in question and listened intently as the rich man spoke.
"Any man that can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other will marry my daughter."
"I will also give him 15 million dollars, a car and a house. I will be waiting to meet my prospective son-in-law at the other end of the pool."
All interested men became very excited and started to take off their shirts, preparing to jump into the pool.
Suddenly they heard the sound of a helicopter, and when they all looked up, they saw that they were dropping alligators into the swimming pool
These actions disappointed all of the men, and they began to put back on their shirts.
Everyone suddenly heard a loud splash!
They all watched in amazement as one man shuffled across the pool, nervously avoiding the alligators as he swam.
The rich man smiled and prepared to stand as he saw the man almost on the opposite side of the pool.
Panting breathlessly, the man got out from the pool and asked, Who pushed me inside the pool?"
It doesn't matter what we are going through in our present life. A part of this story applies to us
- Sometimes we have so many opportunities in front of us, but we are afraid of taking the chance to improve our life and financial status
- Sometimes we are not aware of what lies inside of us until we are pushed
- Sometimes it takes going through the bad moments to bring out the best in us
It doesn't matter what our situation is
Now is the time for us to reflect, reframe our thoughts and minds and make a U-turn to be bigger and better than we are now.
Ask yourself this question:
Do you have to be pushed to change the course of your own life?
Until next time,
Simone

I like it.
Great story and a great way to illustrate some very key points. Sometimes a little push is needed (and that is what true friends, mentors, coaches and Instructors are for ; )
Also at other times we may stumble and fall in - so to speak - yet even then from supposed tragedies there are great life lessons should we be smart enough to see, hear and heed them.
Great post Simone, thanks!
Best regards,
L.D. Sewell
Love the way you put it LD
Your explanation and analogy are a perfect summary for my post
Sometimes we do need s little nudge
And it is also good when.we sometimes stumble
It was lovely hearing your thoughts
Thank you for stopping by :)
What a wonderful, significance of every individual, who wants to reach his goal, but he doesn't know what to do at the beginning of this business, but now somebody pushed him and teach the skills in order to become an expert. but nobody physically pushed him. this is by means of this big offer by the CEO of the WA. Kyle and Carson. which is no other than the Black Friday smack.
By means of taking advantage of this everybody will know how to swim in spite of many alligators around they can still do because they are already skilled enough. hope I shared your post, Simone.
Isabelo :-)
Oh my goodness, Isabelo!
What wonderful explanation you have!
This is simply beautiful!
Thank you for connecting with my blog
That reminds me of a favorite quote, which I've put on here before. It really fits here.
"Come to the edge,
No, we will fall.
Come to the edge.
No, we will fall.
They came to the edge.
He pushed them, and they flew.
We don't know what we can do until we try.
Love that quote, Fran
It says it all :)
You're right
We will never know what we are capable of until we try
It is always an absolute joy to connect with you
Now I see why i havent received any blog posts from you in a long while, Simone- all your posts were going to SPAM 😲😂
Anyway, thanks for a good read as usual. Let us push ourselves to make it 👍💰
Spam?
That's not nice
I WILL have a word with your email responder
What are they playing at? ;)
Nice to hear from you
Let us push ourselves to be a success
Hahaha- I am on it- this responder needs some real talking to, they are playing me dirty 😤 They don't realize we need to motivate each other regularly to push forward "wink"

So true Simone... I feel the bad moments are part of the process of life and its how we choose to use them, we can either get pushed into it and learn something from it or we can actually make the choice and enjoy the whole process I love this story thankyou so much:)
I love your explanation, Tina
It is up to us to make that decision
But sometimes a nudge is all we need to realise our route to success
Glad you connected with the story :)
No probs Simone will be looking in and see how your doing and what you've got to share a lot more now:)
That is awesome
Will be looking out for your responses :)
