Why is it that we look at certain successful people and think they are different from us? We think we can't do what they did. That's the wrong idea. We CAN be where they are or close to it if we follow their lead. So if you have goals to be fitter, more wealthy, more intelligent, and so on...follow the paths of those who are where you want to be! Success leaves clues, so follow them and pick up their clues to help you in your journey!Another thing to keep in mind is follow those leaders who have overcome crazy odds that would scare the living heck out of you! If they could get through it, so could you. I personally think of people like Viktor Frankl or Sylvester Stallone, when I get down on myself. I remember their stories and it inspires me that I will never face the odds they did and I am more blessed than I think I am.Both of these outputs will help give us perspective as well as help us achieve our goals faster.
