To Succeed you need to ...

I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine that helped me come to a realization about something.
To succeed in life, or in the case of this blog, in a career of performance, you must have an amount of talent which goes without saying. But what else really is the key factor that makes us reach that pen-ultimate goal we dream about??? Anyone???

DETERMINATION

We all can have dreams and we can think about them for days on end. But you need to have the drive to find a plan that gets you to the goal. You need to sieze an opportunity even though you may not feel it will help, you'll never know and if you don't grab it, you've lost the chance.

Do a stage reading!

Do an obscure musical you dont think any one will pay to see!

Write a play your self!

Pull a Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins and strap musical instruments all over your body in Central Park for all I care!

The key is that if you just sit and wait for that golden chance to come your way, well you may be sitting for a long time. Keep in mind goals can change and it is good that they can change because we as humans change so this is the natural progression of life. I have had a difficult time lately trying to focus on my goals and I realize it is because they are blurred and I am looking at things in life differently. Now that I have realized that I am going to harness these goals and I am going to succeed, and do you know how???

DETERMINATION!

This isn't a half time speech to pump up the boys to get out there and beat the other team, we all come to self realizations at times in our lives so why not share them. Hope you do the same...
