Man on a Rope (Chapter 10 - Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success)

Every man [person] has a mountain to climb.  At the top of the mountain is the dream life that the man envisions early on in his journey.  All he has to do is know which mountain he wants to climb and to decide to start climbing.

However, that man does not travel alone; he has to carry a big, old wagon up that mountain with him. The wagon itself is heavy and hard to carry - it has the old wooden wheels that aren't the perfect circles that would be ideal for rolling up a steep mountain and the man has to drag this wagon by a big, thick, old rope that rips at his hands and tears at his shoulders as pushes and pulls along.

What makes the journey even more difficult is that every man has people who are along for the ride as well.  There are 3 types of people the man as to deal with while trudging up this mountain:

1)  Those who are there to assist him up the mountain
2)  Those who are there to make his journey tougher up the mountain
3)  Those who are just along for the ride

The first two types of people are easy to deal with: you keep the people around who are here to help you and you get rid of the people who are here to hurt you.  

The third type of person can be a lot harder to spot and to deal with.  You have to identify what their purpose is in your journey.  They might help or hurt you.  You must also identify whether or not they are temporary passengers in your journey or if their role is to see you to the top of your journey.  You might have to pick up and drop off passengers mid journey.

God has already lined up the people in your path to get you to your dreams and your visions; all you have to do is get rid of the wrong ones.  

Getting Ride of Dead Weight
