Effort...

"All the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless you do." - Author Unknown

I spoke at my Toastmasters club today. I shared a speech that was previously given by General Douglas MacArthur back in 1962. In that speech he talks about not substituting words for actions nor choosing the path of comfort. That stirs something in me. To many times I spend in "lip-service" or "do as I say, not as I do" or don't put forth the effort to make changes.

Success takes effort. Effort takes determination. Determination takes responsibility. Responsibility begins with you (or me).

"Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success." - Swami Sivananda
