Hunting Success.

Somewhere, deep in the jungle where few dare venture, there lives a wild animal called “success”.  It is rare and much sought after, but only a few ever risk tracking it down to capture it.  The hunt is long, hard and risky.   There are many hardships along the way that will tear at your heart and soul.  The jungle brush throws up an almost impenetrable barrier.  Bugs constantly bite and bore into your skin.  Poisonous snakes, crocodiles and other dangerous animals present very real dangers to your safety.  The incessant, burning sun is your constant companion until nightfall; when the temperature drops to near freezing and you long for the burning sun again against your already reddened, blistered skin.

At times you feel weak, dizzy from exhaustion.  Success seems at times, an imaginary creature, not capable of capture.  But you continue on, because you are too deep in the jungle now to head back without your prize.

Months go by, maybe years.  Still, not a sign of success.  It is a clever animal, rarely exposing itself, always quick to flee should it sense danger of being caught.  Success is so uncommon, so unique and so challenging: you must have it!  No other animal requires so much skill to hunt and capture.

As rare as the animal is, rarer are the men and women who set up their own safari in search of success.  You and I are part of that group who must have success.  The rewards are great.  We know that.  We also know that the hunt is difficult, at best.  We know the odds are against us.  We know many have failed and few will even attempt the expedition.

Success is not easy.  It is a truly difficult animal to capture, requiring lots of work, quick thinking, desire and persistence on the part of the hunter.  But, you and I are gonna capture it, and we are going to have a great adventure in the process.  Let’s go!  Right now is the season for success!!!   Keep charging!!   Scott Alexander.

On the hunt for success.

    Dedication to a goal that never waivers; resolution. this is the basic principal in the life of every truly great character. He who resolves upon any great and good end has by that very resolution clothed himself in power and has scaled the chief barrier to it!
    I memorized this years ago and I think it fits nicely with this post. Head down horn up here we go!!!
