YPs, it seems that since we were children, we have been asked to focus on what we want to be in life. Many of us have known what we have wanted to do for quite some time. It is very easy to ‘say’ what you want to be and what you would like to accomplish in life. It is also easy to throw out monetary figures as far as; how much money you would like to make or have in your account at a certain age. Some people even take it a step further and give themselves a timeline for when they would like to have certain things accomplished. What very few people do however, is to lay out a game plan for how they will accomplish these things. Some may have an idea, but do they have a plan in place that will direct them on what they need to do on a day to day basis, CONSISTENTLY!!!

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”
Who doesn’t want to make their mark on the world? The problem is who has the resolve to endure and overcome any and all challenges making your mark on the world requires. It may be ironic that this quote is by President Barack Obama who as of yesterday fulfilled a campaign promise of overhauling the U.S. health care system by getting his Health Care Reform Bill passed. This is an example of President Obama having the perseverance to stick to his game plan despite the naysayers and doubters that opposed his health care bill. It took him almost a year to get this bill passed but persistence and perseverance can overcome just about any obstacles. YPs whether you’re for or against President Obama’s Health Care Bill, you have to admit that he had a goal and he accomplished his goal in spite of all the negativity, scrutiny and all of the above. Take notes from President Obama when you’re attempting to accomplish your goals and live your dreams because his patience, commitment and understanding the role of failure has paid and will pay dividends of accomplishing his goal(s). YPs be successful!
