"There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group."
~Mary Kay Ash

Good morning!

I have always loved the wisdom of entrepreneur and visionary Mary Kay Ash. Today I thought I would give you a little quiz in conjunction with her quote. Mary Kay lists 3 types of people.

• Those who make things happen
• Those who watch things happen
• Those who wonder what happened

Which of these three groups do you think is the happiest? Which do you think is the most unhappy, often feeling they are a "victim" of life? Which group do you think goes through life without experiencing much joy or sadness?

 

Now, try this one. Which of these groups do you think is the most successful? Which do you think is most resentful? Which do you think never realizes their potential because they never explore it? 

 

While I am sure you guessed right, here are the answers:

• Those who make things happen - happiest and most successful
• Those who watch things happen - most unhappy and resentful
• Those who wonder what happened - doesn't experience much joy or sadness or realize potential
• Those who watch things happen or wonder what happened haven't taken the wheel to steer their life. Instead, their days are left to be blown around by external winds. There is a quote about how if you don't take the wheel of life, don't complain about where you end up!

 

Those in group one, like Mary Kay Ash, are subject to the same external winds, but they make things happen in spite of them. Those in group one have a vision bigger than any obstacle and that vision will always get them through the storm.

 

Your Turn:
Which group do you fall into? Think about your last month and what category the majority of your actions (or non-actions) fell into. If you aren't in the first group, why not join? Great things are happening there!

 

Your Affirmation:
I make things happen.

Your Two Cents: Your feedback is what motivates me to create the Good Morning. Share your thoughts and browse my archives by clicking here.

 

And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"

And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?"
