As I was moving about my day, a thought came to mind, when people were pushing me to write a book. They said, “Calvin, I love your notes and your blogs, you have to write a book,” or “You already have so much, you could just bundle this up and sell this! I would pay $14 for what you have now!”
I became excited. Excited about the possibility to impact so many lives, to build up people and to $$$
Put a little money in my pocket. But, as I tried to put things together I realized that it just wasn’t going well. I had road block in front of road block, the plans that I had to review content and put together a book could never come together. I had put forth all of this energy and pssst went no where.
Often in this American culture of overnight success, we can create in us premature ejaculation syndrome. Where we see other people getting what we desire, at a young age or quickly and we want the same thing. Then we have a desire, gift or ability and we put forth all of our energy and then pssst nothing happens. We look at ourselves in disgust, say maybe it wasn’t meant to be or I just failed.
When it is the complete opposite, you just rushed too quickly.
There is a weight to success.
You must be able to bear that weight or it can kill you.
That is beauty of the progress of success (which I will write about later). The process of success builds the foundation that can bear the weight of success. The greater the success, the greater the foundation required. If you want just a little bit of success, then you can have a few cracks in your foundation. However, if you want success that will impact the world and change people’s lives for generations to come, that type of success requires a deep and strong foundation.
So, take the time to develop your foundation. Invest in the process of success. Enjoy the roadblocks and opportunities where you succeed and where you fail. Because in all of that, a man/woman is built that can withstand the pressures and weight of the success that you are destined to achieve.
