The Road To Success Is Long

The road to success can be can be very rocky no matter what area of your life you wish to succeed.

Lily Tomlin (the actress) once said: “In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk!”

Ain’t that the truth? We all say or think the same thing whenever there’s an announcement of a Hollywood marriage, and that is “how long will it last?” We don’t expect their marriages to go the distance.

Why do we think like that? The answer I think is that because actors live in such artificial surroundings, they cannot cope with reality. Their working life is a fantasy and when they step out and do something “normal” they just can’t cope.

I’ve heard some of them say that it’s because they both work in the same industry and they often work away from home for a few months at a time. To me that sounds like such a lame excuse. I know of couples who both work in the armed services and can be separated from each other for up to 6 months at a time, and they pick up their relationship from where they left off.

The road to success begins with your thoughts, feelings and actions and if any one of them is out of alignment then you need to rectify it as soon as possible to keep the balance in your life.

“Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings…and lawyers!” Richard Pryor (1940-2005)

Today I am a very proud Australian as we celebrate Steve Irwin day. Steve was the Crocodile Hunter who lost his life doing what he loved in September last year.

His zoo is just 40 minutes from where I live and it’s a magnificent testament to his work with the wildlife. Today Steve will be remembered as the famous conservationist, but also as a devoted husband to Terri and loving father to his children Bindi and Bob.

The day will reveal a new statue of Steve and then the Crocoseum will be rocking with the world premiere of three new songs by Bindi Irwin. Later in the day there will be a special performance by Olivia Newton-John.

“We can’t wait to celebrate Steve’s amazing life the way he would have wanted through an action-packed day at the zoo”, Terri said.

The crowd attending have been encouraged to wear khaki in honour of Steve and Terri Irwin will launch her new book “My Steve.”

CROC’S RULE!
