HOW TO UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN - Intro Part 1

Whether you realize it or not, it's crunch time. Right now is the most important moment of your life and certain questions need to be asked and answered. If you give the right answers, you will be presented with the opportunity to turn possibility into probability—and then into reality—by unleashing the unlimited power you have been endowed with. If you are brave enough to take advantage of the opportunity, it's only a matter of time before you bring to life your own your Dynamic Destiny.

The question is are you ready and prepared for the challenge? Will you turn your back on a life of mediocrity? Will you mentally liberate yourself from past regrets and some of the ugly mistakes you've made? And, most important, will you make the personal sacrifices necessary to guarantee a lifetime of success after success after success? Surely that's a lot to chew on, but the real deal is that you will need an abundance of character, confidence and courage from this point forward to overcome the external and internal forces against you. Additionally, you will need to make some major sacrifices which may include a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of heartache. Without the willingness to sacrifice there's absolutely no other way to succeed and realize your full potential.

As a general and pervasive rule, in this world you have to give something to get something. It’s a fact and one of many universal laws that must be accepted before you read any further. I didn't make up the rule and I don't know who did—nor do I care—it's just the way the game of success is played. So, if you're ready, willing and able to move onward and upward, this book was conceived and written to help you unleash the power within so you may live a successful life. The only way to do that is to be able to deliver when everything is on the line—and it is. It's crunch time!

There’s a story about the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson, the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time. He had superlative technique and prowess, matched with unbelievable power and grace. He had lightening quick speed and uncanny timing, combined with flair and charisma. He had it all—he was the complete package—and, to top it off, he was a handsome devil. He could have jumped out of the boxing ring and become a movie star. But, lucky for us, we were blessed to see him do his thing and work wonders in the boxing ring. If you were instructed to build the perfect prize fighter, from the ground up, undoubtedly the result would be Sugar Ray Robinson.

As fluid and rhythmic as he was in the heat of battle, Sugar was having a lackluster, ugly day in the ring during a training camp session in preparation for another big prize fight. Under normal circumstances he had knock out power in both hands, but for some reason he just didn't have that pop in his punch. As his trainer watched him pitifully go through the motions, he became more and more frustrated and incensed. Finally his trainer couldn't take it anymore and he snapped. He jumped up, yanked Sugar out of the ring and dragged him into the far corner of the gym. Then he whispered something in Sugar's ear which no one else heard. To this day no one knows what was said, but whatever Sugar heard inspired and motivated him. His trainer knew exactly which buttons to press to turn him on so Sugar could unleash the power within. Who knows, his trainer may have even chastised and irritated him, but the bottom line is Sugar jumped back into the ring and he was on fire. He was able to turn it all around when he needed to. Instead of laying back and hesitating, Sugar started to take the initiative, create and make things happen. The pop was back in his punch and, once again, he was as sweet as sugar. That's why, when we talk about Sugar Ray Robinson, we talk about a legend.

As you're reading let's pretend you are Sugar Ray Robinson or whoever your model of excellence is. You can be Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Barbara Walters, Warren Buffet, Beyoncé, the Dalai Lama, Superman—or you can just be yourself. One goal of this book is to be your coach so that lifeless pages will vivify and whisper sweet nothings of inspiration and success in your ear. Be prepared, because it's very likely you'll hear exactly what you need to hear, to turn you on, so you may do battle in the ring of life. Instead of being concerned about being knocked out, you'll have the fire and passion to create and make things happen. Forget about laying back and hesitating—those days are over! There's no earthly reason why you can't catch fire, just like Sugar Ray. You may not be a world champion prize fighter, but you can be a champion—as sweet as Sugar—in your own sweet way.

There's nothing more excruciating than sitting on the runway of life and waiting. You're fueled up and ready to go, but something is stopping you dead in your tracks. Right now you're getting a green light, directly from Air Traffic Control, that now is the time to take off and fly high in the friendly sky. The clock is ticking and there's no more time to waste. It's your time to soar. However, you must do one simple thing. Most people have closed minds and hardened attitudes, but let that not be you. You must open your mind like a flower when the sun comes up and soak in all the information in these pages, without bias. The key is to be receptive to unlimited possibility and the probability is that everything will fall into place and you will be able to create your own Dynamic Destiny.

The Dynamic Destiny Principle is the foundation of How to Unleash the Power Within and we need to dig into it just a bit and come to a meeting of the minds. However, before we do so, there's one crucial fact you need to recognize which is you are a winner. We may never have met personally and we may never meet at all, but it's crystal clear that you are a winner. How can that be? Because, whether you realize it or not, you're investing valuable time and energy into picking up this book and letting the information pour into your mind. At this point you're completely focused with the expectation of digesting mental nourishment so you can continue, like cream, to rise to the top. Purely, because of your commitment, just face the fact that you are a winner!

Very few can do what you're doing, at this exact moment, which is focus and digest. Some people have the ability and some people don't—and the people who've got it know how to listen and learn. They use their eyes and ears more than their mouths. They don't spout out useless information that doesn't make any sense. They absorb information like a sponge and they have an insatiable appetite for knowledge. And most important, they use the information and knowledge they soak up to become proactive instead of reactive, which makes all the difference in the world. Consequently they're able to catapult themselves into the top 5% of personal achievement.

Maybe you have always felt that you have something magnificent and powerful inside, dying to come out, although you may not even know what it is. You know that you have a gift, but maybe you haven't been able to bring it to full bloom. Consequently you’ve been relentlessly driven to search, question, think, dream and create. It’s a beautiful thing that only those in the top 5% can and will do. So if you simply keep on doing what you're doing, sooner or later unimaginable opportunities will certainly open up for you. It's purely a matter of time.
