Success is NOT an Accident! By Paul Evans Copyright © 2016 PBE All rights reserved. ISBN -10: 1523220732 ISBN-13: 978-1523220731 DEDICATION To Those Who Refuse to Quit. paulbevans.com Success is NOT an Accident! This is not a how-to book as much as a want-to book. You already know how to do so much; you just don’t always want to do it. You need a little kick, a little boost, a little punch. I’m thrilled to provide. You see, this is a book of conversations. Talks I’ve had with myself to get me moving or focused or disciplined. Some are fun, others challenging. All are designed to help us take responsibility for the results we want. Success is NOT an Accident! is a mantra, a battle cry. It openly declares war on the expectation of something “just happening.” Deep down you know there’s no goose that lays golden eggs, magic beans that grow into a giant stalk, or spinning wheel that turns straw into gold. Deep down you also wish for such a thing. Stop that. Motivational types like to say things like, “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.” The rhyme makes it sound so sweet, so doable. But the truth is in there. If your goal, wish, want, or dream is going to happen, then it is up to you. Decide, determine and deploy. Don’t hold back and don’t expect smooth roads. You will want to give up, quit and start over. You will want to blame someone else, or get jealous of those who seem to have advantages that you don’t. Don’t. The world is not conspiring against you. It’s not harder for you than everyone else. We all face the same insecurities, pressures, barriers, haters and unexpected roadblocks. We all receive the same encouragement, shortcuts, opportunities, unexpected gifts and supporters. The road to your success will be winding and smooth. Uphill and down. Beautiful and boring. This little book will help you make the trip more interesting. Success is NOT an accident! Paul Success is NOT an Accident! By Paul Evans Define Success “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” —Earl Nightingale. Success doesn’t define you; you define it. You decide. You choose. You select. You deem the worth. Resist the urge to look around and quantify the success of others. Fight the attraction to their success. Banish those feelings that cause you to covet. Blank sheet. Clean slate. Define your success. Designate your worthy ideal. Do you want to. . . . Become a better mom or dad by being more available and present for your children? Become a better employer by providing bonuses or surprises to your employees? Lose that last 10 pounds? Downsize your cost of living and move toward the minimal? Write three thank-you notes a day? Love in spite of the risk? It needs only be worthy. It needs only be yours. Then progress. Step. Move. Great strides aren’t always required. Progressive. Steady. Dependable. A worthy ideal.
