"No
Regrets "
I recently saw a "famous" comedian that sums up what I'm talking about here. I won't mention names but this lady is a horrible comedian! Nobody was laughing except her! Less than halfway through the show, over half the crowd had got up and walked out! She didn't seem to care because she was having so much fun! She has been
in several TV sit-coms and has even been the host comedian showcasing
new talent. Incredible! She is so well known that if I were to say her
name, you would immediately know who it is, yet she has proven to have
very She took ACTION on her dreams! She dreamed of being a comedian, and the funny (pardon the pun) part is, not having any talent hasn't slowed her down one bit. She knew what she wanted and went after it with a fire that nothing could put out! More than
anything else, what has made her famous is the fact that she's been around
for going on 20 years and refuses to quit! She refuses to let anything
stand in the way of her ambition and she gets herself booked doing anything
and everything to get her name out there. She is having the time of her
life and is living her dreams each How about you? Have you given up? Is there something you really want to do with your life but you've given up because you weren't "successful" right off the bat? Maybe you need to change your definition of success! Sheryl Crow has a line in a song of hers that I like. It goes "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad!" Take ACTION on your dreams and NEVER give up! That, my friends, is the true definition of a successful life. It's not fame, it's not fortune, it's having no regrets! It was while watching a show the other day that I heard one of the greatest lines I've ever heard. A lady had lost an aunt to a freak accident and was very sad. Trying to make sense of it all, she asked the funeral director why we have to die. His simple and brilliant answer will go down in history. He smiled, looked her in the eyes, and said: "To make life VALUABLE!" I immediately shut off the TV and sat there trying to absorb the lesson of all lessons. Life is too valuable to waste it doing what you don't want to do! Go after your dreams with a fire and passion that nothing or no one can put out. If you do this, your life will be a genuine masterpiece and a shining example of exceptional living! I have been asked several times over the years how I want to be remembered when I am gone. It is simply this... No Regrets! In Achievement,
