“Stop Apologizing for Pushing a Successful Life” by Roger Dawson will teach you to set goals and never apologize when you don’t achieve them. It’s amazing how many people are willing to get emotional when they don’t get what they want from a relationship.
It’s a sure sign of emotional immaturity, and they shouldn’t be doing it. When you are young and starting out in life, especially on the road to success, you have every right to feel a sense of urgency and excitement about your dreams and goals. It’s human nature to follow your passion. If you don’t feel like following your passion, you should be listening to someone else to do it so that you can pursue yours.
Unfortunately, most people will stop listening when they experience success. They’ll realize that the more they follow others’ passions, the more successful they will become. It’s like the famous saying; “The race is not giving to the swift or the strong but is giving to him or she that endured to the end.” If you’re willing to endure to the end, you’ll be a much happier person, and you’ll also experience a much more successful life.
The book suggests 10 things that you need to be a successful entrepreneur in order to really enjoy your life. You should be looking at every opportunity that comes your way. You should be determined to follow your dreams. You should be looking to improve yourself, your business, and your life at all times.
You also should be able to follow your commitments without question. There will come a time when you will have to decide between your family and your business. You shouldn’t be paralyzed by those choices. Stop apologizing for pursuing a successful life and instead commit to making those decisions. It will save you a lot of grief in the future.
One of the most common reasons why people quit their jobs is because they get so caught up in working the hours that it becomes inconvenient. People who pursue success are successful because they are constantly on the go. They don’t like working 60 hours a week. Once you set time aside to follow your dreams, you won’t dread it when you get home. You’ll be glad that you followed your dreams.
Another common reason why people quit their jobs is that it becomes boring. If your life is drudgery and you’re hardly doing anything, you’ll lose sight of what it was like when you were living a successful lifestyle. This is a big mistake. You have to find a way to be productive in life. One way to do this is to pursue a goal you’ve set for yourself. If you truly want to be successful, you must be willing to work hard and follow through with it.
Even if you had everything right in your hands, it wouldn’t mean anything if you didn’t go out and do something about it. Many people who follow their goals are extremely productive individuals. They know exactly what they want and how to get it. They are able to follow their dreams and live the life that they have always wanted. Life isn’t supposed to be drudgery.
Stop apologizing for pursuing a successful life. There is so much more in life to follow than working a lot of hours and getting nothing in return. Follow your dreams and live the life that you were meant to live.
If you want to be successful then you must be willing to work at it. Start by being passionate about what you’re doing. When you’re passionate about something, you will be driven to succeed. Stop apologizing for your dreams because once you find a passion and begin taking action toward achieving it, you’re going to see exactly what you can achieve.
Apologizing for pursuing a successful life will only make you procrastinate more. When people say things like, “Why should I follow what my life is leading to?” they’re simply saying that they’re afraid of making mistakes. When people are afraid of making mistakes, it keeps them from doing the things they need to do in order to be successful. It’s easy to understand, if you fear doing something, then you’re not going to be successful.
The most important thing about life is that we are all free to follow our own paths. It doesn’t matter where those paths lead us as long as we are moving in the same direction. That’s why it’s so important that we never chase after someone else’s goals.
Doing that will leave us feeling like we’re behind and less confident in our own life direction. Stop apologizing for your dreams because instead of trying to convince other people that you’re right, you should be convinced yourself that you can do it. If you don’t believe in yourself, how could anyone else? So start believing in you from today.
