The Missing Piece By Monty J. Sharp, Certified Comprehensive
Coach http://www.workteamcoaching.com

We’ve all heard the remarkable stories of people that achieved
remarkable things in their life, career or business. We’ve been
to the motivational seminars featuring dynamic, charismatic
speakers who whip us into an emotional frenzy and give us the
surefire secrets to success. We’ve bought the tapes, books and
videos with the steps to achieve our wildest dreams and goals.

Still, with this vast amount of wisdom at our fingertips, many
people will undoubtedly never accomplish their life goals.
Sadly, most will simply settle for much less than their dreams
in life.

What’s missing that sets those that accomplish much in life from
those that spend their life wondering, “What if…?” I’d like to
suggest what I think is the missing piece.

It’s not enough to set your sights high; you also need to
protect your goal. Like protecting someone you love - wife,
children, friends - you would never tolerate anything that would
do them harm. Quite the contrary, when you are protecting
something, you are all the more diligent to nurture and care for
it.

When I worked in the rehabilitation field, I often treated
people who had diabetes and had lost the ability to feel pain in
their feet. Because they no longer sensed the presence of their
feet, they often neglected to protect them from injury. The
consequences were often horrible - hideous ulcerations, lost
limbs and even sometimes death. What you do not feel, you will
poorly protect. What you do not protect, you could easily lose.

Success is the result of a certain mindset and of a set of
decisions rather than a set of random occurrences. The
successful are so deliberately. People who achieve success are
those who constantly “feel” and protect their goals. They will
not tolerate anything that could do harm to them. If you have a
goal, AND you won’t tolerate its not being achieved - you are
protecting the goal and you WILL create the structure to achieve
it.
