Mindset Note: ONWARD!

ONWARD! is My Battle Cry!

Want to know what makes me different from most people?

My ONWARD! attitude.

In stories about World War II, or any major war for that matter, you always hear about remarkable feats of stamina, the ability to push through enemy lines against all logic.

You hear stories of commanders who are able to rally the troops when no one should logically hold out any optimism or hope for a good outcome. When everyone should be saying "retreat!" and not "ONWARD!"

In business you hear stories about people who are now wildly successful who pushed through incredible odds, massive amounts of work, and never gave up even if people all around them had bailed ship long ago.

In nature you hear stories from scientists about impossible creatures we cannot figure out. Large Bumblebees that physically should not be able to fly. I mean, the laws of physics are against them!

Stories about ant colonies that can take down, kill, and carve up a 1 ton Ox in less than a few hours.

I seem to share traits of commanders, bumblebees, successful businessmen and women, and ants.

Because no matter what problem I am working on, no matter how hard it is, and no matter how badly I want to quit, I never do. If people tell me something is impossible, I think about great big, fat bumblebees who aren't supposed to be able to fly.

I think about commanders on the front lines pushing their troops past exhaustion and hope to win the day.

I think what it must be like for a single ant to look up at a creature so much bigger than him that it blacks out the sun and thinks "I can take him!"

Every problem has a solution.

Every long night of work has a purpose. Doing boring things is part of what's necessary to live an exciting life. Sky divers have to take a boring flight up to jumping altitude to do something exciting to them: Jump!

Travelers have to endure nothing short of pure toture to fly to vacation spots to have the time of their lives.

You are in a battle. The battle rages in your mind, body, and soul. You are being tested when you let yourself think about bailing on something because it's too hard, boring, or seemingly impossible.

When you are tested in this way, push through your current problem no matter what. Really test yourself against all the things fighting against your success.

Once you are through it, dust yourself off, feel the accomplishment and shout...

ONWARD!!!

Don't let anything stop you!
