"The Real Deal" by Bern Moses

For many years I thought I had an understanding of the world, people, relationships, work and where I was going in life. Then back in 2002 I was introduced to a man named Bern Moses. He is not a motivational speaker or self help seminar speaker. He is a well known speaker that has assisted thousands of people to become successful, improve their marriage, enhance family life and re-prepare you for the life you want to have. Because most of us have been de-prepared by loving parents and friends that mean well but are really hindering our future.

My family and I started to build a close relationship with Bern after my Father started working with him. Our lives changed in a positive direction and have been better ever since because of Bern. We now pass on this knowledge to our kids to better prepare them for life.

Needless to say my wife and I would not be here today if it were not for Bern's knowledge and coaching. We would not have three beautiful kids and a happy marriage if it were not for Bern's tools.

So I thought that I would share something that Bern had sent out in his email newsletter years ago that has always motivated me, and helped me to stay focused and committed to success in life. I can only hope that you feel what I feel everytime I read it.

The Real Deal
by Bern Moses
What are the earmarks of achievement? To many, it represents inconvenience. It seems to be made up of fruitlessness, frustration and intermittent failures. It is reputedly crafted from consistent problems that are complicated and difficult to overcome. It requires risks that don't seem necessary in order to make a living or get by. Tedious effort, long hours, sacrifice and problematic Circumstances abound. Sometimes, we even credit someone else's success to connections, good fortune or just plain luck that just doesn't seem to be our lot.

These people, most people, shy away from these things they perceive as deterrents to achievement. They consider them unpleasant, or too much trouble. Thankfully, there are others with a different perspective. There are those who realize that the greatest risk is to not take one. They somehow know that achievement is worth the inconvenience, worth the effort, worth the challenge. In fact, they come to realize that overcoming, getting past or going through these obstacles is where the joy is, where the strength comes from and the rewards are found.

Is it possible that you are avoiding the pursuit of achievement because of what it entails? Then you're not seeing the whole picture. You're focusing only on the price, and not fully appreciating the value of the prize or the cost of not participating.

Of course these factors exist. However, you must acknowledge and celebrate the fact that you have all the capacities necessary to achieve anything you desire, within the laws of nature and man. Those capacities exercised will reveal abilities, and those abilities practiced will develop the requisite skills. The challenges become honing stones whenever you decide to achieve something. You are not equipped to handle all the things that can confront you, but you will be as you continue. That's the wonderful way it works.

So think about it! Granted, it's easier said than done, but it doesn't get done until it is said. If you have the potential for success, and you do, you have the responsibility to succeed. You must know that there are many in the world who need your best. Let your mind do what it was intended to do. Imagine. Conceive. Envision. Believe. Plan. Practice. Execute. Go for those spectacular moments of accomplishment that, accumulated, inevitably lead to achievement. Your time and energy, your life, is being expended, and you are in command of the direction it takes. Fill your moments with the richness of predetermined, purposeful contribution. What you get out of it will be worth a whole lot more than what you put in. Get excited about paying the price for achievement, and you'll discover that it's a real deal.
