Success
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to have known even one life has breathed easier...
... because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Because I'm dying 40 yrs before I should, I'd like to see others do as I've done, & grab a bit of magic in life;
make some lifetime dreams come true.
It's so much simpler than most of us realize...... We simply insist on complicating things, rather than tapping into the powerful resources we already have at our disposal.
There's much too much to absorb in 'one shot,' so just save this page to your computer, and visit your own web page of Success each day.

I enjoy full quotes behind the short quotes we hear, such as "
To thine own self be true," which is "To thine own self be true, and then it must follow as night the day thou canst not then be false to any man." Here's another great one.
Attitude
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is
we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.. we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you-We are in charge of our attitudes."
obstacles
We who lived in the concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: The last of his freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Victor E. Frankl
Man's Search For Meaning
CRITICS
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Now that you know this quote is from Theodore Roosevelt, a man who lived a dozen of his wildest dreams, you're invited to re-read this paragraph & picture him charging up San Juan Hill w\ the Rough Riders. He wanted to be a hero on a white horse.... And he was. No wonder he also became President, hm?
Napoleon: "Imagination rules the world."
Einstein himself (!!):
Imagination is more important than knowledge."Are either you... or I... smarter than these men?
Arthur C. Clarke: "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible."
Marcus Aurelius... who knew a little something about this:
"A man is what he thinks about all day long."
If you're capable of grasping the immutable truth of this, why not just
use it for 3 days, and see what happens? There's a reason why we're told that 'experience is the best teacher."Decide what you'd like your dominant thought to be, commit to 15 minutes per day of superfocus,
& then focus on that thought for three days, refocusing EVERY time you're distracted.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Disraeli: "NOTHING can resist a human will that'll stake even existence on a settled purpose."
Someone gave this to me by photocopying the original, which he pulled out of his wallet. With wrinkles and tears, it had survived years of being read and re-read. I've read it more than a few times myself since then, and hope you'll get value out of repeated readings, as I do.
THE STATION by Robert J. Hastings
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines & village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there our dreams will come true, and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering - waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I'm 18." "When I buy a new Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." "When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!" Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive once & for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream.So stop pacing the aisles & counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less.
Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
DREAM LSTFOR MI
DREAM LIST FOR MY LIFE
GoO AHEAD!!!
If I had every needed resource, such as family support, $$$, self-confidence & more...
if I KNEW that I could not fail, I would DEFINITELY,
in my lifetime, most want to:
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
Who can help me get there?
If I HAD to break each dream into four smaller pieces.........
What are the obstacles standing between me and achievement?
Answer these questions in detail
IN WRITING and we promise you will see changes happening in days.
Can you tell me this man's name?
At the age of 7, his family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
At age 9, his mother died.
Age 22, he started a business.... that failed.
Age 23, ran for state legislature... he lost.
That same year, he lost his job, AND failed to get into law school.
Age 24, borrowed money from a friend to start another business. By the end of the year he was bankrupt, and spent the next SEVENTEEN years paying off this debt.
Age 25, ran for state legislature... and won.
Age 26, his fiancee died, sending him into a deep depression... ending in a nervous breakdown that kept him in bed for six months.
Age 29, ran for speaker of the state legislature... and lost.
Age 31, ran for elector... lost again.
Age 34, ran for Congress... laughed out of the election.
Age 35, ran for Congress again. Got elected for a change
Age 37, ran for re-election... blown out of the election: a rare occurrence for an incumbent.
Age 40, sought the job of land officer in his home state...
soundly rejected.Five long years later, he had the nerve to run for the US Senate... and got trounced.
After losing, "The path was worn & slippery. My foot slipped from under me,
knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, 'It's a slip and not a fall."
Age 47, sought his party's vice-presidential nomination: got less than 100 votes.
Age 49, ran for US Senate again... and was again soundly defeated.
Age 51,
ran for, get this, President of the United States!! Talk about temerity!!
The following is another quote from this incredibly persistent fella:
"
The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us."Continue." What a strong word; within it resides the single greatest power you have at your instant disposal.
Just ten more tries... and ten more tries... Success inevitably follows.
His name... was Abraham Lincoln
Reminds me of Henry Ford's comment:
"People who say it can't be done
should stop interrupting those who are doing it."
For those very few people who know precisely what they want:
This sheet is for YOUR use only.
Fill in the answers. Show it to no one; it's all about YOU this time.Personally interview more than a THOUSAND self-made millionaires, & ask them one by one
to what they attribute their success... You will soon feel entitled to speak knowledgeably on the subject.
That feeling is legitimate... once you apply their "rules" in your own life, and produce results that speak louder than words... such as breaking records for several organizations.
You see, what we do speaks so loudly there's no need to say a word:
Whatever it is that you most want, simply state it out loud.
Go ahead, do it NOW
. I AM GOING TO
and I want it so much because ____________________________________________________.
When you have a strong enough "why" you invariably find a "How."
Emotion is the agency of communication between thought and action.
If you are capable of clearly stating what it is you most desire, can you just as clearly state
WHY?? Specifically how will you benefit from achieving this dream?
Remember, Emotion is the electrical fuel that causes us to act... at all times!!!
Emotion is the single greatest fuel available to a human being
.Attach emotion to every desire, visualizing it
AS IF IT'S ALREADY TRUE.WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
Read it out loud every day, with real feeling, for just 20 days.
Before day 20, you will find very powerful changes occurring in your life.
You need not take my word for it:
Just shut up and do it for 20 days.
Don't tell me I'm right or wrong; show me that I'm right or wrong.
You have NO right to a valid opinion... until you first do it 20 to 100 times.
So, please, don't tell us what you think.... show us.
Your numbers speak so loudly that you need not say a word.
Remember that People who say "Yes" too quickly are usually full of baloney.
Pull commitments and ask questions as you speak to whomever it is that might help you get what you want
The more times you hear the word 'yes' in your presentation,
the more times you'll hear the word "YES" at the close of your presentation.
80% of all the "yesses" you obtain from birth to death are because you asked at least 4 to 7 times!!!
Not because you were told to; because YOU were determined to get that "yes,"
& did what you had to do & therefore you suceeded.
This is the single most magical secret of success in every single human endeavor. There are no known exceptions. The very minute and moment that you understand this, you have control over a power far greater than looks, money, friends in high places, talent, looks, skill, brains, and every other so-called "advantage."
You can use this incredible power in the next 60 seconds.
STUPID PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THIS POWER.
SMART PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO USE IT IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY:
Nothing can restrain the power of current action.
That's why even trickling water can rub holes in the greatest boulders: persistence overcomes resistance. If you can fail 4x & THEN try a fifth time, you will double your productivity in 100 days or less.
And by the way, your income will also double... that's right -- in 100 days or less.
"No," does not mean "NO!!" It means, "
Not yet; give me more reasons to say "yes."Don't tell me that you agree or disagree... until you try it five hundred times.
I don't care what it is you try...
if you try it w/ all your heart just 500 times,
you will be much, much, much better at it;
And if you're not highly-paid by that point,
you'll soon find someone who WILL pay you for your excellence.
The voice of experience is calling out. This is your wakeup call.

Priority # 1:
Identify precisely what you want to accomplish here:
HOW MANY & HOW MUCH?
I
t really does have to be in writing."If you don't know
precisely where you want to go,you'll end up somewhere else."
Just try it with all your heart five hundred times !! ...and that starts with trying it just once.
This 2nd step is what separates winners from rubbermouthed, complaining losers, & is it ever simple (!!!):
Just try it with all your heart five hundred times !!!!!!!!!!
Not 25 or 50 times, and then slacking off. 500x !! With full power each time.
By the time you hit one hundred tries, you, too, will truly understand this. Imagine how much better you'll be after 200 full-heart tries. 300? 2700?
This should grab your attention. It applies to every industry. It rarely changes by more than a tiny amount:
80% of all sales are consistently produced by 20% of the sales force.Only a fool would attribute this to luck or coincidence. Those who are a part of that 20% do NOT get there by luck, or looks, or talent, or wealthy parents. These men & women get there by duplicating that which works. Pretty simple, yes? Once you learn how to become a part of the top 20%, you will never, ever worry about money again. I know. You can learn to understand this from personal experience in just a matter of days.
It's not a question of what you
CAN do,
I've interviewed 100+ of the world's top tm's. When I applied what I learned from them, I began outproducing ninety other TM's in less than 10 days!!! This is NOT to impress you; rather, to impress UPON you, that there is a world of hard evidence that you can personally up your income by 10 to 30%
in the next five business days.Repeat the magical steps again and again.... your income rises, again and again.
When you begin adopting power shortcuts, your income goes up
by next paycheck.Then
we can sit and talk about how we got into the top 20%, which carries permanent, lifetime membership. Fair enough?
THIS IS YOUR WAKEUP CALL.
Sleep... or awaken. YOUR choice.
What you do in the next 24 hours will speak so loudly that you need not say a word.
What you do in the next 24 minutes will speak so loudly that you need not say a word.
As always, your actions will speak eloquently... and louder than your words.

THE HUNGRIEST MAN ALWAYS WINS THE RACE#2:
Excellence cannot occur accidentally3:
Effort is hunger with a deadlineIf there is indeed something you want more than anything else, focus on it, exclusively, for at least fifteen "mental video" minutes per day every single day. This one superSUPERshortcut alone is unconditionally guaranteed to make things happen in your life within days. You have no right to agree, or disagree, unless you actually do it first:
10 TO 20 DAYS OF SIMPLY DOING ZOOM FOCUS, DETAILED MENTAL VIDEO OF YOUR DREAM
RUBY'S
Did you know that when we see a typical iceberg, and remark on how HUGE it is we are only seeing 'just the tip of the iceberg.?' Well, it's true. generally, 90% of an iceberg is actually below the water.
It's the same with the human brain. Roughly 10% of our thought-processing occurs within the conscious part of our mind. The other 90% or so of our thoughts & decisions take place in our subconscious mind --'below the water,' so to speak. We call this subconscious area "The Robot," & what a robot it is!! It permanently records absolutely every sight, sound, smell, taste, & touch that we experience -- every single one -- from birth... to death. It is by far the most sophisticated computer we shall ever see. With each of life's experiences, a mental tape is created. These tapes are similar to videos. Each & every time we talk about, write about, or even just think about, a sight, smell, taste, touch, sound, or experience we've encountered, a new & duplicative tape is recorded within the robot. This enables us to visualize things that are not actually in front of us. When a particularly pleasant or unpleasant experience, such as a wedding or violent argument is remembered, & thought about repeatedly, the brain continues to create duplicate "tapes," reinforcing the event AND our feelings about the event.
This is precisely how the human brain creates a habit: it begins as a thread, working its way up to being a string, & then a cable. From birth to death, every single repetition of an act or a thought causes that area of your brain to physically grow; it is finitely measurable by high-speed MRI. Just as we have a mental "replay" ability, we have to use our "preplay" ability before we can handle even the simples task. I'm asking you to use the same exact methods for showering, or tying shoelaces in the direction of bigger things. You're now using this set of high-tech procedures 15,000 times per day!!
Stop using these powers just for little stuff! I recently wrote AND directed AND was the voice of my first commercials for a big company. It's not my career, I just wanted to to do it once. Use this knowledge on purpose, in the next 10 minutes, to begin working on YOUR sweetest, best wishes and dreams. There is literally no known limit to the storage capacity of human memory, or the # of these customized mental videos we create. Take every single computer on this planet, right up to and including the gargantuan Cray III Supercomputers: ALL OF THEIR MEMORY AND COMPUTING SPACE... ALL ADDED UP TOGETHER... REPRESENTS LESS MEMORY & COMPUTING SPACE.. THAN THAT OF A SINGLE HUMAN MIND !As a human being, you can actually
create any new mental environment you want!The most singular difference I can discern between smart and stupid people is the difference of taking action today.
Those who do, win. Those who will do it "as soon as....." are uniformly full of baloney. Fact is, the more formal education you have, the less likely you'll fit the profile first enunciated by Henry Ford: "I'm looking for a lot of people who have an infinite capacity for not knowing what can't be done." This is the precise method he used to get his engineers to build a V-8 engine, which they insisted for TWO YEARS could not be made. I know YOU know better, but your actions speak louder. People who live their dreams first describe them in detail. Capisce? We have 100 billion or so computing brain cells in our brain. I recently read that the atoms that enable this computing & memory ability are calculated in the area of 100 trillion trillion. No, that's not a typographical error. That's: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 !!!! Whew! Let's imagine filling up your living room with bb pellets... and really "see" it in your mind... floor to ceiling, wall-to-wall. Think that's 100 trillion trillion? Not close. Now, fill up your neighbor's living room with those same size bb's. Wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling. See it in your mind's eye as you read these words. All those bb's!!! Think you're there yet? Not a chance.... you would have to continue filling living rooms at the rate of one full living room... each and every single second... for twenty thousand years.
The human mind is truly unlimited in its capacities & abilities. The human mind is capable of achieving virtually anything it is capable of conceiving. I think that's what our grandmothers meant when they told us that we can do anything we set our minds to. Maybe this is why Anna Mary Robertson, aging sufferer of acute arthritis, who could barely move her fingers, first picked up a paintbrush at the age of 76, and by her mid-90's, painted over 600 masterpiece paintings: Grandma Moses. Maybe that's why 92 or more percent of all American millionaires have been broke and bankrupted an average of more than 2 times each... yet have come back to develop wealth & success again.
Maybe that's why, of two men crippled by polio... one became a beggar in the streets,
& the other, President of the United States.
Understanding & appreciating just how much we have going for us helps us to accomplish uncommonly wonderful things. Belief in yourself can, & does, make all the difference. Emerson was right on the money when he wrote,
"What lies ahead of us & what lies behind us, pales in significance when compared to what lies... within us
."Having
& using are not the same. Clam up & SHOW us what you can do.

ON WINNING
About 5 of every 100 of you who read this will be intelligent enough to intentionally direct your amazing brain towards 60 minutes of excellence, just as these men did one hour of excellence at a time. Paul Aurandt, in all of his consistent excellence, has produced this incredible list, printed in his "Rest of the Story." You're about to read the names of 12 of America's most prominent lawyers. One and only one was a law school dropout. We'd like you to take a guess on which one was a dropout.
Patrick Henry
Member of Continental Congress, Virginia Gov.; handled more than eleven hundred cases in 3 yrs.
John Jay
Admitted to the bar in 1768, distinguishing himself as first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.
John Marshall
Another excellent Supreme Court Justice; passed his bar exams in 1780.
William Wirt
Practiced law in Virginia at age 20, eventually becoming United States Attorney General.
Roger Taney
Began in 1799, worked his way up. Sec'y of the Treasury, then Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.
Daniel Webster
Phenomenal legal reputation; subsequently appointed Secretary of State of the US in 1841.
Salmon Chase
US Senator, Chief Justice of US Supreme court, early prominence defending runaway slaves.
Abe Lincoln
16th President of the US, an occupation greatly enhanced by his former experience as lawyer.
Stephen Douglas
Admitted to bar in 1834, he later became US Rep, then US Senator. He debated Lincoln.
Clarence Darrow
Attorney of world renown, famous Scopes-Monkey trial one of many; high record of wins.
Robert Storey
Born in 1893, he was, twice, President of the American Bar Association in 1952 and 1953.
Strom Thurmond
Admitted to the bar in 1930, he later became governor of South Carolina, then US Senator
(still serving in that capacity at the age of 96)!!
Have you figured out who the dropout was?
Clarence Darrow. Yep, the one name in history that the whole world associates with the superior practice of law, attended law school for one unexcellent year, and ended up studying law on his own!
Oh, by the way, did I mention that the other eleven... those eleven MOST distinguished American lawyers... could NOT have dropped out of law school..
because they never went to law school at all?Excellence doesn't occur accidentally; you've got people wasting their degrees, and you've got folks who develop excellence without a degree at all. Hmm.
While grateful to Paul Aurandt for publishing this incredible list, I'm more grateful that I am now, at this minute, living in the richest era in the richest country in the history of humankind, where I have the opportunity to approach the next 60 minutes, with nothing but excellence on my mind; where you personally have a choice in the next 60 seconds about reaching out for a dream, whether it's bigger or smaller than the dream of 16-yr old Billy Jefferson, who shook hands with JFK, smiling with benign arrogance in his certainty that he too would be top dog. It took him 30 years from the time he changed his last name... for William Jefferson Clinton to reach his dream of becoming President of the United States in 1992, & again in 1996.
Aren't you tired of living so far below your potential?
Businessman, bum, publisher, housewife: Would you personally like for the world to consider you to be wise? Conducting yourself with mediocrity or excellence in the next 60 seconds & the next 60 minutes, the next 60 days...
the attitude you approach these next minutes with... will tell the whole world, & yourself, very clearly, whether you're smart or stupid. It's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know, & I just happen to be addressing YOU PERSONALLY. At this minute, are you "in the mood" to do whatever you're doing with excellence, or do you just let out a "Yeah, yeah," and be average while deluding yourself that you're performing at your own best level? Your mood is completely under your control. What reason do you personally have for treating the next hour of your life as if it's not important? This is not the SuperBowl; there are no time-outs. The year 2000 is only 30-something months away. Why not take the most instant and accurate intelligence test ever devised for humans: those who purposely have a day of excellence.. & those who don't.I realize you think this is great stuff, & applies to most people, but not you. What you do speaks so loudly I can't hear a word you're saying. You're now entering the most powerful minute of your life.
What are you doing with it?No need to say; actions speak louder, yes?
Compliments of EASY STREET, USA © 1999 Steve Rubin
The next time you're feeling... well,
a bit unimportant in the general scheme of things,
you might stop to think about this little math trick...
... based on the fact that it took two people,
your parents, to get you here on Earth.
Each of your parents has two parents,
so in the generation just prior to that of your mother & father, there were four people
whose pairing and sharing of love contributed to your existence.
You're the product of 8 great-grandparents,
16 great-great-grandparents,
32 great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.
Keep multiplying by two.
If you figure an average of 25 years
between each generation,
you'll discover that a mere 500 years ago,
there were 1,048,576 people on this planet
who were beginning the production of...
Would you care to enjoy huge power in your life,
power that you can tap into within the next 60 minutes of your life?
Stop & give thought to the five wisely-constructed words below. Then,
AFTER
you think you've figured it out, study them again & look for a second, and different meaning.
When you hit the second point, STOP! Study it again, & come up with a third meaning.
At that point your very fingertips will be blazing with new power.
Just close your mouth and do it. If you want true, TRUE power, it's here for you:
Power is as knowledge does
Ah! Ah! Ah!
STOP!!! Do NOT glaze over this quickly...And then a third.
As mentioned above, you will instantly feel a whole new level of power...
ONCE YOU GET THE THIRD MEANING!!!
POWER SHORCUTS
...& that's not misspelledSo, you're too old to change spots, ey? Viola Krahn at 93, still winning diving championships. George Bernard Shaw didn't see his first play produced on Broadway until he was 94! A middle-aged cleaning woman picked, out of the garbage, a copy of Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich. Shortly thereafter, clubs, casino, & TV were paying big bucks for the comedy of Phyllis Diller.
Another 70-yr old entertainer was rejected by a dozen Hollywood agents when he decided to reenter comedy 10 years after he'd retired. One young agent believed in him, & got 15% of nearly 12 million dollars earned by Jack Benny between the ages of 71 and 80.
I know one fellow that entered a whole entire new career field in his 60's, and by age 70 was elected President of the United States, and then got himself reelected again four years later!
Hilga Crooks climbed Mt. Everest for the first time at the age of 90, and has done it more than a half dozen times since!!
It's NOT a difference in ability; rather, it's a difference in decisions.
How you spend your minutes is a clear preview of how you're spending your life... & exactly what you'll look back on!!!
Whoever you are, whatever your position in life,
I guarantee that this very minute is the single most powerful minute of your life.
How you use this next minute will clearly tell us a great deal about the past year... & more, this next upcoming year of your life!! I say this because the way I spend my minutes is a snapshot of how I am spending my life. It applies to me, and it applies to you.
As you can see, I'm taking at least one step at this very minute towards my long-term goal of being a world-famous author. Can you afford to laugh at my dream, if I'm taking steps toward my dream, and you're not? As always, talk is cheap, because what I do, & what you do, speaks so loudly that we need not say a word: our actions are speaking for us. What I'd like to know now is: what are you doing with this next minute of your life? Are you willing to shut up, put your brain to work & get REAL results?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU MOST WANT?
An airplane ws designed, apparently all wrong. Expert military designers immediately saw the plane couldn't possibly fly. Bureaucracy being what it is, they actually built it anyway! Today, there's no argument that the 'unflyable' C-130 has flown more missions & saved more lives than any other aircraft in history. Small daily steps, repeated 100x, lead to WINNING.
Some people think I'm harsh in stating that 90% of all Americans are complete losers who should contribute to resource conservation by conveniently walking off into the ocean. It's hard to argue: 90% of the people in this country are losers;
NOT because they don't have more, rather,I'm sure you're not one of these people.
You're living to your fullest potential, aren't you? I mean, YOU certainly wouldn't flush your life away day-by-day in hope of 'making it to payday,' would you? YOU'RE not the kind of person who watches TV two, three hours per day, are you? No, NO!! YOU are the kind of person who can state out loud exactly what it is that you want most, YOU are the kind of person who is willing to describe your dream in writing & take daily action, right?Whether you want to learn to juggle, or type fast, or get along better with your spouse or your kids/parents/co-workers/boss, etc.; or maybe you want to learn a new language, or a new career, or double your income...
No matter what it is that you want, I unconditionally guarantee that in 100 days or less you will do one of two things:
A) Actually make your dream come true, or B) Make more progress towards it than you will if you DON'T create a plan and then take daily steps in that direction...
unconditionally guaranteed! The third choice is to continue being mediocre on a day-to-day basis as you've been for the past couple months, years, or decades. When do you wake up and start being who you really think you are, deep down? Bad enough you show the world that you're second-rate; how long will you continue showing it to yourself?
Use the shortcuts available to all of us: the world's top producers took entire lifetimes developing them through trial and error. If your way really worked, you'd be far better off! The only possible way you'll be remembered as a person with excellence... is to give a thousand individual minutes of excellence!! Harlan Sanders wrote down the names of 1009 people who, over a 4-yr period, turned him down, which is why he didn't open his first Kentucky Fried Chicken until the age of 69.
I can show you thousands of cases of people who, later in life, finally understood that excellence, success, & wealth are more a question of individual minutes than a question of good years or bad years. It's all about how we use our minutes. A pitifully unsuccessful paper cup salesman was 55 years old when he, Ray Kroc, set his sights & created McDonald's. Now, a new McD's opens every hour of the day, somewhere around the world. We already know that humans are capable of achieving anything that they can conceive.
Treat your life desires the the same as your emergencies!!
It's not what you're
able to do; it's what you're willing to do..
