I’ve got a quick question for you.
Have you ever dry-cleaned a rented outfit before returning it to the store? Have you ever washed a rental-car before returning it back to the car lot? Or even better still, have you ever cleaned up a hotel room before checking out? The honest answer to these questions is probably an emphatic “NO” or even an “Absolutely NOT”!
Why? Well, I would hazard to guess that it’s because you don’t really own it. That’s right folks, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to you if I told you that people don’t usually put a lot of time and effort into taking care of the things that they don’t own.
Ever lend out something to your neighbor or a good friend only to receive it back in an abused, neglected, lackluster condition? Well, the answer is probably “Yes”. Why did this happen? Well, quite simply it’s because they don’t own it.
As this is true, I invite you to consider that the same is also true for those of us who don’t take ownership of our own goals and dreams for the future. If we don’t take ownership of our own dreams and possibilities for a better life for us in the future, then who else should be responsible today for where we end up tomorrow? Hmmm…
Simply put, we should never treat our most precious goals and valuable dreams like a rental tuxedo or a rental-car or a Hilton Hotel room. I encourage you to take complete ownership of your goals and dreams in the days ahead and start giving them some time and effort and perform a little routine maintenance regularly on them. And, don’t be surprised when you start to see them coming true for you.
Yes, this action could quite possibly lead you to separating yourself from those who just settle and becoming one of those who succeed.
So, let’s take some ownership today and make this new day soooooo incredibly awesome that yesterday gets insanely jealous. Let’s Make it GREAT!!! 😉
