THE WILL TO SUCCEED™

I once heard the story of a great French general named La Variere who made the decision to attack, even though his troops were largely outnumbered. He was certain of victory, but he felt his men's fear and wanted to do something to cut short their protestations.

    

On a country road he stopped before an isolated chapel and declared, "I am

going inside and I will ask for God's help. Then I will come out and flip

this gold coin. If our Emperor's face appears we will win. If the other side

comes up heads, then we will lose. And so, my companions, our fate is in the hands of destiny."

    

After a few moments in the chapel, La Variere came out and flipped the coin.

Napoleon's head appeared. The soldiers shouted and acclaimed their destiny,

and the entire company's moral was lifted. Convinced that they would be

victorious, they fought with such bravery that they rapidly won the battle.

    

After the victory Vermont, one of La Variere's adjutants, said, "Oh Sir, no

one can change the course of Destiny. This unexpected victory is yet another

Proof of that."

    

"Who knows, my dear Vermont, who knows," replied the General, and he

 Showed him the coin on which Napoleon's head appeared... on both sides!

The will to succeed has pulled men out of their graves, state of comas’ and their obscurity and placed them en-route success unlimited. It can transform a failure, a mediocre into success personified.

You need to direct your life with a strong will to succeed, if you really want to enjoy some measures of success in your life time. Take responsibility for your actions. Don’t blame anybody for your failures or give credit to luck for success.

Those that are classified “successful” in our world today are those who have “a strong will to succeed”, they don’t give up easily when confronted with failures and defeats.

What would you like to achieve or become, that you feel you cannot attain because of the present economical, social, geographical conditions or whatsoever that is working against you? You don’t need to allow all these factors to stop you any more, just develop a will to succeed and certainly you will be counted among those who succeeded despite the unfavorable conditions that surround them.

In front of you lies your future, a road leading into the distance. Along the road are ambitions you wish to accomplish, desires you wish to gratify and high level success you wish to achieve – but the gap between your present state and the position where they are, is the will to succeed, without which you can be knocked down, discouraged and humiliated on your quest for success.

I had learned from years of experience with men and from books, that when a man really desires to succeed with a strong will, he’s sure going to succeed, because all the factors that seems to be working against him, will become the same factors working for him.

Remember, all those who succeeded in life did not really start great. They kept persisting despite the setbacks and difficulties they encountered. You too can become successful if only you can develop a strong will for success.

At En-route success unlimited™, we know that;
