Success builds on Ability, Motivation & Attitudes
WE ARE ALL HERE TO DO SOMETHING GREAT WITH OUR LIFE - If you want to be a success at whatever your plan is you have to learn to build on three things - Ability, Motivation, & Attitudes.
We all start with some ability; something that is unique in our life. It could be your ability to write or express yourself. It could be your ability to analyze things or musical or artistic; something that makes you unique - An innate talent.
For some reason, I was born with a natural desire to express myself musically. While I confess that I haven't developed that ability to its fullest, it is something that I enjoy doing.
I was also born with the desire or curiosity that seeks answers to questions. I have never settled for a "pat" answer, I want to know for myself why something works or does not work.
What abilities are you born with? We all have some innate ability. Find yours then learn to develop it and improve on it.
Finding and developing your abilities will help build success in your life.
Motivation - that reason for doing things is also a driving factor in success.
Abilities are great but if you are not motivated to be great; to make something out of your life then any ability you have is wasted.
Why are you here? What is your purpose in life?
Why are you putting your hopes in WA to build your dream?
You have to find the reason and that reason is the motivation you need to put out whatever effort you need to succeed.
That motivation has to be greater than the natural tendency we all have to just back off, take a job, and enjoy life.
Your motivation will push you to excel; to succeed.
Don't have any! Look to all the writers and motivational speakers there is a ton of information out there for anyone to help them find their motivation.
Motivation is up to you my friend.
Top your ability and motivation off with Attitude.
Attitude - How you think about things.
Positive - Negative - Indifferent. Where do you fall?
Believe me, you can be born with a ton of ability and sincerely want to do something great with your life but if you have an "I can't do it" attitude you are wasting your time.
To be a success in life and in any endeavor you must have a "Can do Attitude"
You must be like the little train that said "I think I can, I think I can" all the way up the mountain.
You must live by the rule "Can we do it - Yes we can"!
If you think you can't then it is a good time to stop and ask yourself why. What holds you back?
Do the research - those who think they can do it, those who think they can't don't.
Success comes when individuals learn to use and improve on their abilities, motivation, and attitude.
That's it, my friends, I hope I helped you somehow along the way to success.
Please like and know that I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Jeff... Glad to hear from you. I am doing well. Had a little bump in my progress because of medical needs but it all beginning to work out and I feel good and have a renewed sense of purpose.
Have a great week.
Ray
I'm very glad to hear that, Ray! Best continued success as you get moving forward again!
Jeff😎👍👍
Reading this reminds and reemphasizes to me of the fact that so many attributes are required to succeed- and not least are your desire, motivation, and willingness to learn, improve and not give up. And thats the case even if you have money to hire people to do all the work for you. Insightful post, Ray 👏🥳
Hi Chris, always glad to hear from you, and thank you for your kind comments.
It is a shame that people often don't realize how far they can go if they just apply themselves. Too often we downrate ourselves or mistakenly compare ourselves to those who have gone farther down the road than us.
There is a seed of greatness in every individual that only needs to be watered and tended to bloom into being.
Have a blessed day my friend.
Ray
Hi Ray, great post. I think we are born with certain gifts. We need to have the motivation to develop those gifts.
Thank you for the share.
All the best,
Michael
Hi Michael, you know I too have always believed that we are all born with natural talents or gifts.
The only difference between the common and the unique person is that the unique person is motivated and in the end becomes something so much better.
Thanks again for stopping by and hope that you have a great and successful week ahead.
Ray
Great read my friend Ray!
I truly believe that God has blessed each and every one of us with a specific ability.
To make the most of the abilities we have been blesed with, hard work, dedication and that never give up attitude is needed so we can reach the top of the mountain, just like the little train!
I hope you are well my friend and enjoying a fabulously blessed Sunday.
Hi Nick. It is great to hear from you, thank you too for your input into this discussion.

Have a blessed week my friend.

Hi Ray
Thank you for expressing what you think.
I might use different words to you. I might put things in a different order. I might apply a different emphasis. All that would be because of differences in our experiences.
I’m sure we’d find ourselves agreeing with each other on most things!
:-)

Hi Richard. So glad you stopped by and added to this thought.
That is the great thing about WA we all express ourselves in different ways which add to our understanding.
Hope you have a great week ahead.
