"You become a champion by fighting one more round.When things tough you fight one more round"
James J. Corbett
Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Life is a journey of many corridors,you may never see them,you may never be told of them;
but you will have to make choices about them sooner or later, either to be successful or just average.
The Successful people were willing to launch themselves down the corridor of
opportunity without any guarantee of what would occur.
THE CORRIDOR PRINCIPLE
In the 1980's, Robert Ronstadt of Babson College concluded after a 12 year
study that
"the mere act of starting a venture enables entrepreneurs to see other venture opportunities they could neither see nor take advantage of until they had started their initial venture"
This is what he called the corridor principle.
Now there's one common thing amongst humans,there may be a couple more,but one thing
more common among men is 'fear'.
all man have fear,maybe all.
What corridor is currently in your life that you need to brace up yourself to walk through?
The principle may have been stated on a business grounds but seems to apply to
all aspects of life as well.Maybe life itself is a business.
There are new grounds we wish to break and new heights we pray to soar,but without any
initiated action,They will forever remain wishes and mere prayers.
The biggest barrier that's keeping you from taking the first step is your fear.
Unfortunately,all fears are learnt.Like a habit, no one was born with fears.
Your fears may be your current biggest hindrance to your success and achievements.
Fortunately,fear can be unlearned.
I have always loved to write,but i never did.I admire people who are able
to connect their brains and hands in such beautiful expressions that they can take
you away from reality for a while.They can motivate,encourage and stir you up
to achieve your goals.They actually clear the dark clouds for you to see the big bright
sun,right above you.I feared i might fail,I feared I wasn't good enough with English,Ideas
and other writing skills,but,whatever my excuse was,it was basically because I was afraid.
Then i decided to fight my fears.I had to begin or forever live in wishes. So i began. I set deadlines,scribbled some points and options and choose this
topic to begin with.I gathered materials and did a little research. I started walking in a new corridor.
It was challenging, stressful and sometimes discouraging; but i finished.
I never knew i could finish till i started.
Take a critical look at the areas of your life today.
What area of your life do you need to walk its corridors.
What goals have you procrastinated and left undone?
Yes,yes,you may have fears,doubts and dilemmas.Fear of rejection,poverty and failure, but you are also missing out on opportunities and advantages you never knew you could find.
Don't wait for what you are looking for to find you;it never happens.
You may need to start,start a new business,or work on an old one;It may be a ministry
you need to begin or a talent to harness,it might be a new relationship you need
to establish or an old one you to reconnect;for whatever it is,there are unseen
advantages and opportunities hidden in what seems to be darkness.
You may be the next on top in your field.....all you need to do is to launch!
This is the season,everything you have been through was preparing you for this moment.
Things couldn't be so right for you as it is now..all you need is to step out in faith,do what needs
to be done and go where you need to go.Nothing is strong enough to stop you except what you
allow.
Get in competition with yourself,grow through the challenges,whatever you need is not where
you currently are,its ahead of you;all you need is one big bold step and many closed doors will
be opened on the corridor.What ever you do,make sure you are moving on.Give yourself another chance,you can do it.Tell yourself this will work.How bad do you want it,do you want it bad enough to run after it? The proof of desire is pursuit(Mike Murdock).Don't stop until you see it work! That's how champions are birth.
GET READY FOR THE NEXT CORRIDOR OF OPPORTUNITIES
