Eric Thomas is the focus for this week. Compared to some of the other speakers, I personally love Mr. Thomas' intensity level. It never fails to motivate and make you start getting to work. Similarly to what I've been doing, Eric Thomas posts a video each Monday called TGIM (Thank God it's Monday). This one focuses on one of his experiences while vacationing in Dubai.
Essentially, while on his trip, he had to go to the Apple Store to fix his equipment. While seeking advice, he speaks to an employee, whom he later finds out is fluent in five languages! Shocked, Thomas asked where this guy went to school and how he learned the languages. To his amazement, the man learned 4 of the languages in roughly 4 years time! Thomas asks how he did it. The man replied,
"It's the only way I eat"
The man goes on to talk about how if you only speak one language in Dubai, you have to work in the fields with the common people in 100+ degree weather. This man wanted much more in his life, so he was essentially forced to learn these languages so quickly.
The point of this message today, is to demonstrate that when you really really want something in your life, you will do whatever it takes to get there. The thing is, you have to truly want something, and be willing to sacrifice. If you're not willing to make sacrifices, then you don't really want that particular thing. Almost everyone wants to be in great physical shape, yet very few people are actually willing to workout and eat healthy. Almost everyone wants to be wealthy, but very few are willing to work hard and save their money.
But those people are average, and if you came across this page, I personally believe you are already above average in your aspirations. You are already seeking motivation and life advice so you can desperate yourself from the average people around you. Now, you need to make certain that you work really hard each and every day trying to meet your goals. Today is the start of the week, and you NEED to get some serious momentum going. I challenge you to make this week your most productive week possible. I challenge you to be great today, not average.
