May 1, 2008PowerPhrase ~ It’s not by accident
Gena and Matt have a fabulous marriage. Gena’s brother ignored her suggestions for communicating with his long-term girlfriend and then he proceeded to complain about the fact that he couldn’t find a relationship that was as good as Gena’s with her husband. Gena responded by saying:
- Excuse me, it’s no accident that we get along so well. It was a choice we both made and we work hard to maintain our relationship.
Many people assume that successful people get there by luck. Sometimes that happens, but usually successful people get where they are by commitment, hard work, good choices and sacrifice.
Success coach Jeffrey Armstrong tells the tale of a woman who went up to a great singer and said, “I’d give my life to be able to sing like you do.”
The singer responded,
- I did.
Some people try to make things look easier than they are. People need to know that great things don’t happen by accident.
