"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." -Zig Ziglar
And what better way to start than by driving the right vehicle in the race of life?
Now, imagine if Mario Andretti challenged me to a race at the Indianapolis Speedway: We both show up in our racing attire, ready to rev those engines. But then, I get a brilliant idea and suggest that Mario takes my Mini Cooper -- Yes, I really drive one! -- and I take his Indy Racer. After all, he's the best driver, right? But I've got the best vehicle!
Even though life isn't run on a race track, it sometimes if feels like it. Just like in a race, we need the right vehicle to succeed in life.
But the vehicles we drive are not just about speed. They're about how well we utilize them to achieve our goals and dreams.
To succeed we need to pay attention to our daily habits. Sometimes we have to let go of negative thoughts, toxic relationships, or bad habits that hold us back. Other times, our vehicle can be a good education, a supportive spouse, a fulfilling job or a strong faith.
Life can be tough, and we all face obstacles that make us want to throw in the wrench. If necessary, be ready and willing to change direction. Just make sure you are consistent and your goal stays the same.
So, what kind of vehicle are you driving in the race of life? Is it a sleek, powerful Indy Racer that's propelling you towards your dreams? Or are you carrying around excess baggage in the same 'Old clunker' that is slowing you down and holding you back?
It's never too late to upgrade your vehicle and get back in the race. Just like Mario, you too can be a winner, but only if you're driving the right vehicle.
Get started now on the road to success and happiness and who knows, maybe one day you'll be crossing the finish line ahead of him in your very own Indy Racer!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!
