The Journey - New Levels of Success!

Happy Friday!   I told you a few weeks ago I was doing the Spartacus Workout.  A body-weight infused, 40 seconds on...20 seconds off punishment from the pits of Hades.   I love it...   Why?   Progress!  New Levels of Success.   Yes, I could keep running 30-40 miles a week or ride the stationary bike for an hour.  A good workout, but it has become "easy"  I need a "summertime in Cabos" body...ripped...49 and fine!   Sometimes success can lull us to sleep and make us think we have "arrived" and that we are through growing and stretching...   Until something shakes us.   Like LeRoy in  1975.  The political environment in Guyana had become challenging, and though he was enjoying a very high level of professional success, he knew he could not remain and do the things he had envisioned for his family.   He did the scariest thing he has ever done...he packed up the family to leave the country of his birth, Guyana. Coming to America! The story is famous amongst the children about their journey and arrival to America.  Amazing how the passage of time makes things seem less traumatic. The first struggle was going from the temperate climate of home to face the fierce winters of Ohio.   They left behind all the comforts of home to follow their father... who was following his instincts. Remember we said it takes three things to progress from struggle to success; Passion, Commitment and Something Worth Fighting For? It takes a strong woman to hold it down in a new land (with 8 kids!) while the provider flies all over the world for weeks at a time.  A shout out to the MVP's - (remember our recent series on Sales and Marriage?... click here for archive) LeRoy and Pamela knew success required sacrifice.  It is for a season but will take you to new levels of success. Despite the culture shock of a 70's America, LeRoy set out to conquer a set of new challenges and he built a reputation as a molder of great sales professionals and high achieving organizations. It took him all over the world to impact countries... from the Caribbean, to America to the Middle East.  In some circles, his name is legendary.  Sometimes confident... sometimes conflicted about his choices, but he shows no signs of the struggles, failures and challenges he has experienced.  Through the fire, but no smell of smoke! That is what makes us human... not always knowing... while we are doing. Are  you successful today?   Better question... Are you doing all you can with the gifts you have been given?    It is one thing for you to have financial success, great relationships, and good health but is there more that you are here to do?   Don't rest on your laurels...success requires sacrifice.  It is for a season but will take you to New Levels of Success.   Is there a New Level of Success calling you?   I have a sneaking suspicion there is...and it is time to bust a move.   Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!  Next Time: The Journey - Search for Significance!
