How many levels of Success do you want?
The higher the level, the deeper your Foundation must be!
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai has over 160 stories, the most of any building in the world. It stands at 2,716 feet tall, and the Foundation is 164 feet DEEP!
Now compare that to a single story home which has a Foundation of about 2 to 3 feet deep.
Your success in life is TOTALLY dependent on how deep your Foundation is!
Build too high too fast on a thin Foundation and your world will come crumbling down.
Foundation Building is not sexy or most times even exciting, but it is Non-Negotiable.
There was a time, as a young man, I wanted to bench press 500 pounds. I went to the gym every day for a year pushing my limits to get to my goal.
In that period of time I put on 70 pounds and went from benching 200 to 400 pounds on the bench.
That’s when everything changed. The tendons in my elbows started to tear, and the pain was excruciating. The problem wasn’t my tendons or the weight but my lack of Foundation Building!
I did not take the time to do the invisible work on my body to be able to support the kind of success I dreamed about. All I cared about was getting to my goal as quickly as possible.
Tendons do not have a direct blood flow like your muscles do and do not grow as fast. I was building levels of success without building my Foundation.
STOP doing what you are doing right now and check your Foundation. How deep are you? Can it support the weight of your goals? How high do you plan to build?
These questions MUST be answered before you can continue pursuing your goals.
Some of the Foundation Building we need to work on is: Character, Attitude, Emotional Intelligence and Toughness, Relationships, Core Beliefs, Values, and self-discipline.
These are the invisible Non-Negotiable parts of your Foundation that need to be inspected and reinforced.
Your future success depends on the Foundation you are Building TODAY!
