"Assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to help you become better, to help you expand and grow." - Brian Tracy
There was a great commercial on television that was so good at amusing me, it failed to actually help me remember what was being sold or promoted. The advertisement showed a few people riding an escalator which stopped in mid-movement.
One person sullenly asks "what shall we do?"
Another yells for help.
While another cries out that her cell phone is dead.
The immediate problem they face has them frozen in fear of not knowing what to do. They are locked in indecision, unable to clearly think or make a choice.
As they stand there, a fourth person bravely ascends the stairs on his own power. Walking up each step, happily making his way to the top. The stranded people watch in amazement as this person moves past them, boldly and without hesitation.
This scene is sort of like watching someone rise and achieve success. We stand still wondering what we should do. Yet if you watch those achieving success, they keep moving despite any obstacles.
If an obstacle emerges, it may cause us to deviate from our chosen path.
We keep moving though, adjusting to the changing conditions.
We keep moving, we keep pushing forward not allowing obstacles to stop our movement.
Never let a failed escalator stop your climb to achievement. Keep moving. And stay inspired my friends.
