Stay focused on the things that matter so you can bring
home the things that Count!
Life isn't about having what you want......
It's about wanting what you have!
The 212 Theory
Thomas Edison once said, “Many of Life’s failures are because People didn’t realize how close they were to Success when they gave up.”
From 2000-2006, The PGA Championship Winner took home an average of $1,060,714, while the 2nd Place took home an average of $460,657.00. The margin of difference was only 1.71 strokes, which is less than a stroke a day.
At NASCAR’s Daytona 500 from 1997-2006, the winner crossed the Finish Line by an average margin of only 0.175 seconds over 2nd Place. That’s less than two tenths of a second, but for the Winner…..it meant $509,000.00 more to take to the bank.
How many opportunities have you “missed out on”, that would have “Created” better results for your Life If, you had just given a little more? .... or tried a little harder? If you were drowning in a rivers current, you would find the Adrenaline you needed to swim a little harder to survive. How fast could you swim if an Alligator was coming for you? Everyone knows how to turn the switch “on” the problem is that most people keep their Energy bottled up most of the time, only turning it “on” Once or Twice in a Lifetime. How would your Life be different “IF” you turned it “on” every day?
Consider the impact of applying a little “Extra Effort”, every single day, with everything you do! Imagine the difference you would make in your own Life, if “You” could just take things “UP” a notch! What could “You” accomplish today “IF” you took Life to the next Level? .....If not Now, When?
What would be the First thing on your list……”IF” you knew beyond any shadow of doubt that you would not fail? Would your choice be Part of the Solution? ….or Part of the Problem?
The 212 Theory, has been taught to most of us since birth. It’s something we instinctively know as humans,… that it only takes a little bit more to go first class! “IF you expect results, you must apply yourself, and know that it will require more Effort than usual.
The 212 Theory is simple, at 211 degrees water is hot….at 212 degrees water boils. Boiling water makes steam, and with steam you can move a 10 ton Locomotive down a track. One degree of temperature in water means the difference between something that’s hot and something that generates enough force to move a train down the track. This is an uncomplicated Metaphor that should be exercised every single day in everything we do.
The 212 Theory will forever be a Motivating factor in Life and Business. Learn it, Use it, and Teach it,… Let it ignite your Self Confidence, and guide you through the rest of your days. Let this “Natural Law” serve as a constant reminder of how “seemingly small things” can sometimes make a “big difference”.
Take the time today to do something Big for a Friend! Do something Big for your Soul Mate! Do something Big for a Stranger! Be Part of the Solution and offer a helping hand! Go the Extra Mile! Take an Extra Step! Make a New Friend! Let go of the Past!
Now, invest an extra 30 minutes a day in your Family, and in one year, you will gain 182 hours or just over an entire week, of quality time. Wow…what would you pay for that week “IF” you knew you only had minutes to live?
You now have a responsibility to yourself to Re-Evaluate your Life and make some decisions on what matters and what doesn’t! You’ll need to stay focused on the things in Life that matter, so you can bring home the things in Life that Count! You can do just what is required or expected of you and be another face in the crowd…”OR” You can Rise above the rest, simply by applying a little extra effort.
inspired by Vince Lombardi
1913-1970
People don’t care how much you know.....
Good things come to those who WAIT.....
but only what's left over from those who HUSTLE!
If you think you Can you're right!
If you think you Can’t, you're right!
Remember…Plans can be
altered….while decisions can't!
