Drive & Focus - The Difference

My wife and I were driving to a lunch date recently, and on one of the corners we pulled up to there were two men standing next to each other.  Nothing out of the ordinary except, one was dressed professionally in a suit and tie and the other dressed in rags comparatively speaking.  Me being me, I asked Kelly what's the difference between the two, and she gave me all the usual answers; from upbringing to education.

All of her reasons may have had an impact, but the real difference was drive and focus.  People from all walks of life have started with nothing and made something of themselves.  The man dressed professionally clearly had the drive to get ahead, and he couldn't have the drive unless he had a target to focus on – some goal, desire or result to pull him to greater levels.  

Circumstances do not matter.  What matters is what you do with what you have.  Maximize your resources just as the well dressed professional has.  Define your target with laser-like focus, and create the drive to get to win.  You get to choose what you want in life – is it winning the game of life or living in rags?  Your choice.
