Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher

Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
(excerpt taken from Pat Mesiti’s new book “Soaring Higher”)

Most people wait too long to get help

Failure and success are determined by two common elements: timing and advice. Most people who have succeeded received advice at the right time, from the right people, and acted on it. Most people who fail either received advice too late or received advice from the wrong people or decided not to act on correct advice. Failure to get the right help from the right people early can be costly.

A few years ago one of my close friends was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The tragedy wasn't so much that he had prostate cancer, but what he could have done to prevent the spread of prostate cancer. He went for help much too late. He continually postponed a visit to the specialist.

We are all a bit like my friend. We know what we need to do to become successful in our job, in our business, and in our relationships, but many of us fall prey to both timing and advice. Most people begin to face problems in marriage not long after their wedding day. Instead of dealing with issues early to prevent the problem from spreading, we tend to navigate around the problem over the years. This simply postpones the inevitable: at some point we must face a much larger problem because it has grown. Then we try to repair the broken relationship or business. One thing I have learned is that it's easier to manage something than to repair something.

It's smarter and easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle than to try to heal your body of cancer or heart problems. It's a lot easier to maintain a healthy attitude by conducting daily checkups of your attitude than it is to see your attitude slide and then try to rebuild it. I’ve seen so many people who appear to be positive, uplifting, and so fired up about life, but when tragedy hits, they get so negative because they didn't invest in their attitude on a regular basis.

It's the little foxes that spoil the vines. We tend to bypass the little problems and let them escalate into larger problems. Most addictive behaviour starts small. Most bankruptcies don't start as huge debts, they start as small problems that never get dealt with.

Challenge

Become the kind of person who learns the power of timing and who looks for advice from the right people. Don’t make the mistake of going for help at the right time and getting the wrong advice. Be sure to go to the right people for advice. If you are facing problems with your children, the last person you want to get counsel from is someone who has five kids and they're all in jail! Learn from someone with children who are happy and fulfilled.

What changes in your life are you putting off now that need to be implemented before it’s too late?
