The Law of Equivalent Success

"I am as comfortable with a homeless person as I am someone famous. I can learn just as much from either." – Danny Marz

 

The Law of Equivalent Success

As we drove along country roads I sat listening to Danny talk. He speaks in rapid succession, one work rushing off the tail of the last and onto the nose of the next. Soon, it begins to sound almost like a machine gun rattling on. But rather than being a weapon of destruction, his words are more akin to those belonging to those whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit which serves as the lifeblood of our own country; your opportunity and mine to develop and market our talents.

Danny is a dreamer. He has the ability to take the thing he wishes for, what he believes in, and make it a reality. He's a person who can put his dreams outside of himself, no matter what others think of them. If he meets with defeat, it is always just a temporary defeat because he knows that every failure beings with it the seed of an equivalent success.

The "Law of Equivalent Success" simply allows the person who has a burning desire to stand and put his or her dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, to stand by that dream until it's made into physical reality. Practical dreamers such as Danny do not quit!

I've known many people who have passed through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive." And, I've noticed that the turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their deepest selves. The person, the owner of their deepest talent, is somehow released through the process of personal struggle.

So, if you're struggling a little or a lot right now, if you believe in one thing, believe in the Law of Equivalent Success. Look deep within yourself so you can discover your greatest talents, beliefs and faith. If you will, you'll find your greatest success just around the corner.
