Jim Rohn, author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, illustrated this best when he said, “It is not the blowing of the wind that determines your destination but the set of the sail.” You see, the same winds blow on us all-the winds of change, prosperity, disaster, and failure, to name a few. Therefore, we all have the same opportunity for success. Yet many people use the blowing of the wind as an excuse, which in turn defeats their opportunity for success.

“Remember, success is not measured by heights attained but by obstacles overcome. We’re going to pass through many obstacles in our lives: good days, bad days. But the successful person will overcome those obstacles and constantly move forward.” —Bruce Jenner
