Out of the East on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan

His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man

He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river

Pulled his gun and got the drop

He said “Pete you think you’ve changed but you have not”

He cocked his pistol pulled the trigger and shouted, “Let it start”

Pete drew a knife from his boot, threw it,

And pierced Dan through the heart

Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun

Whispered in Pete’s ear “We cannot undo these things we’ve done”

You’re Outlaw Pete, You’re Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Bruce Springsteen

 

Know matter what you want in life we all want to be successful at it.
However success can be elusive, it requires taking something that some of us run from. I have to remind myself  several times a year with this one.
What is that you may ask?. Maybe this illustration can help.

 
CAUTION: If you take things personally or are easily offended, stop reading now.

Student A and B are both “committed” to earning their Black Belt. Student A and B are very similar, they both have jobs, families and children. Student A gets his classes in every week when promotion time comes he is well equipped to deal with the challenge. Student B is constantly struggling to get classes in because of work, kids, the dog, shopping, dinner, taxes and alien invasion. Student B will tell you ad nauseam how all these things conspire against him and no one has it as difficult as he does.
The real difference between A and B is just RESPOSIBILITY.

If you want greater success in your job, if you want stronger relationships, a healthier body, or a better financial condition, it all boils down to taking MORE responsibility. Relationships do not magically improve; bodies do not automatically get healthier, Black Belts do not appear under your pillow while you sleep, and financial problems do not suddenly disappear. They are the result of the EXTRA responsibility you exerted.

You see … RESPONSIBILITY = CONTROL. The more responsibility you take the more control you have over your career, your finances, your relationships, time, lifestyle, kids, and everything else.
