How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Star
October 14th, 2008 by dawni
We often start out with great expectations, shooting for the stars, but are quickly brought crashing back down to earth with reality.
To many people, reality means forgetting your passions, giving up your idealistic dreams, your lofty goals… and just stick to your daily dolrums where you can’t go wrong.
Ironically, it is often those very people who love us that hold us back and try to extinguish our efforts in reaching for the stars. They don’t want us to take any risks. They are afraid that we might get hurt.
How many of us start out with having good intentions, only to give up along the way?
How many of us know what we want, what we should do, and yet do nothing?
How many of us know… and are struggling along in the pursuit of our dreams?
How many of us don’t even know what we want?
.
(If so, you can sing along with the song “I don’t know what I want” below!) LOL!
.
Take some time to look within yourself… what do you really want? Is the star you want worth pursuing, inspite of circumstances, against all odds?
But not many people are willing to take action. Why? They are not willing to get out of their comfort zone. They are not willing to take the risk of getting out of their comfort zone.
Intention does not produce results. It is Action that produces results.
It does not matter how many books you have read, or how many seminars you have attended. It is still action that produces results. Massive consistent action is needed to bring about significant results.
If you have done the same thing over and over again and expect the different results, that’s called INSANITY! It is time to do something different.
Ask yourself, how much does it cost to buy a star? Are you willing to pay the price to buy your star? Are you willing to do whatever it takes?

while i agree with you on this but it takes a lot of courage to move out of one’s comfort zone. I know a lot of people who want to but have not as well…it’s not easy, but it can be done. Good one, Dawn
