Success V.S. Failure

Far too many people never realize their true potential because they are afraid to set goals and they never get started because of fear of failure. People often misinterpret success to be a lack of failure. But it is the opposite. Success always is the result of repeated failures. Success is simply the process of getting back up every time we fail. Those who understand this principle are assured success. Those who don't are assured of failure.

By far the most important trait in building a business is that of persistence. The most talented people have failed because of their lack of persistence. Yet, so many who lack talent, have succeeded in spite of themselves because they had persistence.

Calvin Coolidge once said; "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common that unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race...

Faith vs Discouragement

Faith is the most powerful attribute anyone can possess. If we have faith in God and faith in ourselves, nothing can defeat us.

Discouragement is the opposite of faith. Nothing good comes from discouragement. It is an evil force that causes despair. Discouragement causes us to lie to ourselves and tell ourselves that we can't do it and that we should give up. Discouragement causes us to give up our goals and cheats us out of having a great life.

Both faith and discouragement are choices. We can choose to have faith or we can choose to be discouraged. In other words, we can choose whether to embrace the most powerful or the most destructive forces in the universe. It's that simple! Attitude, really is everything!

Are You Where You Want To Be?

A Taoist master once asked this rhetorical question: "What can you not accomplish, if you do it in deadly earnest?"

Deadly earnest is the "tipping point" between success and failure. Lots of people try to change their lives every year and especially in January and September, only to fall back into their old habits.

Why? Because they've never reached the tipping point. This tipping point is an emotional state within. It starts with anger at an intolerable situation in your life.

Then comes the feeling of being "fed up". And finally, the prize - DETERMINATION and BURNING RESOLVE.

Until you reach that tipping point, things won't likely change very much.

How close are you to your tipping point????

Plant Your Garden

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.
