I read an awesome story today about a man in Japan who is returning to the Olympics after a long hiatus. How long since he’s been away? 44years! That’s right! This gentleman from Japan, Hiroshi Hoketsu was last in the Olympics in 1964! Now, at the age of 67, is returning to the Olympics. The media is calling this a "comeback". For once, I agree with the media! :)
This man has a great attitude. He finished 40th in 1964 as an equestrian show jumper, tried a comeback in 1988 but was disqualified because his horse unexpectedly failed quarantine tests. In 2003 his dream was rekindled again and he recently beat out 45 others in the final round of a Spanish tournament in a dressage contest, also known as "horse ballet." He qualified for Beijing 2008 this past January.
What an inspiration! This is a great story for our business. How many times have you felt like quitting your network marketing business? Once a day? Several times a day? Here’s a guy who waited 44 years to get back in to what he knew was right for him. He waited 44 years for his dream! How long are you willing to wait for your dream?
Don’t ever give up on your dream. I don’t care if you have to wait 10 years. Take the time, as much time as you need to incubate. Just because now may not be the right time for you it doesn’t mean you should quit. Don’t quit. Your spouse is depending on you. Your kids are depending on you. Your future depends on it. Thousands of lives depend on you. Don’t quit - take your time growing but don’t totally give up.
I know you can do this and I definitely believe in you!
