We’ve reached the 4th part of our series ‘7 Words to Success’.
I’ve been blessed by the comments and feedback I’ve been receiving
thus far.

THANK YOU!

I’m committed to your success and hope you are as well.

Today’s word is E-F-F-O-R-T!

The definition of Effort is…

something done by exertion or hard work

This word is perfect for achieving success because there’s no way you’re going
to be successful if you’re not willing to work hard! Nothing in life worth having
comes easy.

I heard somewhere that the only place that Success comes BEFORE Work is in the
dictionary, LOL. I never forgot that statement. If you want to achieve anything
you are going to have to work for it, period!

Today’s word goes hand and hand with some of the other words we’ve used previously
like sacrifice, desire, and commitment.

Recently I personally put all the 4 terms together in a personal journey of mine. I went to
live in Maryland for 3 weeks and had a chance to work with a dear friend of mine name
Monte Sanders. He’s a personal trainer to stars like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, NFL cheerleaders
and regular people like you and I. I left to Maryland for one reason…

I wanted to be more successful. By making that decision to go it required:

Sacrifice (I went from being home where I have family and friends to a place where
I knew no one!)

Desire (The fire inside of me to improve my quality of life mentally, physically and spiritually
was far greater than anything else I wanted)

Commitment (Everyday I woke up and committed to the journey. The days of working out twice
a day, having to still do my normal job, eat the foods I’m suppose to… wasn’t easy!)

But it all came today because I was willing to WORK, I was willing to put in the EFFORT.

And while it’s still early the success is coming. Not a day goes by where someone doesn’t
acknowledge how happier I am, how much energy I have, how I look as slim now as I did
5-6 years ago!

I’m telling you if you are willing to work, and put in the effort, success will be yours!

I encourage you to write below, tell me what you thought about this post, tell me what
things you’ve accomplished in the past that you thought you couldn’t do but managed
to do it anyway. Remember together we can move mountains, so let each one of our
stories motivate the next person, so we can all be successful.

God bless!
