Quit Waiting

HR Success Guide
Author: Antony Xavier

A Story is told of a man who goes to church and prays, "God I need a break. I need to win the state lottery. I'm counting on you, God. “Having not won the lottery, the man returns to church a week later and once again prays, God about the state lottery... I've been a kind to my wife, I have given up drinking. I've been really good to all. Give me a break. Let me win the lottery."

A week later, still no richer, he returns to pray once again. God, I don't seem to be getting through to you on this state lottery thing. I’ve been using positive self-talk, saying affirmations, and visualizing the money, I was very optimistic. Give me a break. God let me win the lottery."

Suddenly the heavens open up, bright light and heavenly music flood into the church, and a deep voice says, "My son, give me a break! Buy a lottery ticket!"

The Moral of the story is if you have a dream; don't wait for things to happen by itself; don’t wait for change, quit waiting and ACT now. The only difference between a winner and looser is winners take actions. When you take actions you trigger all kind of activities that will inevitably carry you to success. What is important is to just get started. Unless you start you will not learn, you learn only by committing mistakes, ask for feedback, rectify and move forward in Life and Career.
