A quote from UNTIL TODAY by Iyanla Vanzant
Of course you deserve to have the things you want in life. Of course you are worthy of having them. These are givens. The question is, are you willing to do the work required to get what you want? I am not talking about physical work. Oh no. most of the time we are all ready and willing to kill ourselves working to get the things want. If that is all it takes, everyone‘s success would be assured.
Where there is something that you really want, there is one thing you must really do- FOCUS! Focus your thoughts. Focus your energy. When you really want to focus on something, there is something you must develop and maintain-DISCIPLINE! You must be disciplined about what you think. You must do things in a disciplined way.
When you are working to master the art of discipline, there is something you must be – OBEDIENT! Obediently follow your first focused thought. Obediently follow through on the disciplined actions you take. When you are really obedient, there is one thing you will undoubtedly develop—FOCUS! With focus, discipline and obedience you will reach any goal successfully.
Until today, you may have believed that you could physically work your way to success. Just for today focus your energy and attention on the mental, emotional and spiritual work that will serve you as you reach for your highest and greatest good.
