I was listening to a webinar by John Di Lemme this evening and as always there were lots of great nuggets of wisdom for success. One of the many of these nuggets which stood out to me was this quote:
Quitters do not understand committers.
“quitters don’t want to understand committers”.
Why – because commitment requires:
- Discipline
- Determination
- Dedication
Quitters don’t like any of these three verbs. In other words, quitters are usually looking for the easy route, and so they don’t like anything that spells hard work or pain.
Jim Rohn often said –
We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
Discipline means work – hard work, and yours and my body don’t really like that.
There is no easy way to success – that is why all who pursue an easy way will give usually up. Then they will say things like: “I guess success is just not for me” or “I have tried this, and I have tried that and nothing works”.
Quitters are the ones who look for the easy way. They are the ones who scoff at long term commitment, determination and dedication. They are also the complainers.
Committers know that real success will take time and hard work and they are prepared to pay the price.
Today’s question is:
Are you prepared for the long haul or do you spend your time looking for short cuts?
There is a great verse in the Bible (in Galations 6:9) that says : And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Never give up - you might be just moments away from achieving your goals of success.
