"I refuse to make agreement with limitations."
~Paul Martinelli
"You don't go anywhere until you decide where you
want to go." ~John maxwell
"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is
probably the reason why so few engage in it." ~Henry Ford
"You were born to win, but to be a winner you must
plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win." ~Zig Ziglar
"Poverty is attracted to the one whose mind is
favorable to it. Just as money is attracted to him whose mind had been deliberately
prepared to attract it, and through the same laws." ~Think & Grow Rich
Last week I mentioned success as being a scale, one side
action, and the other side thought. When I think of the power of thought in our
lives, I think of the law of gravity and how it is a constant in our lives. It
is at work every moment of every day. Even if we do not understand it or agree
with it, it is still alive and well. To have a proper channel for our efforts,
we must have a goal and a point of destination. If there is no aiming point we
can work all day long but the effort is more of a wasted energy and has little
purpose. But with focus and as Napoleon Hill describes,
a clearly defined purpose with a burning desire for its accomplishment, now our
efforts become inspired action.
People can argue that hard work alone can get you anything,
but to be in proper balance and to turn action into inspired action, we must
have clearly defined purposes for the hard work. The statement think and grow
rich to me not only refers to money or material wealth, but also to becoming
rich in mind, body, spirit, and friendship as well.
Just because we know something, it does not mean we
understand it. Just because we understand something, it does not mean we apply
it. It is the understanding and application together that moves a person
forward. There is a relationship between passion and potential. Therefore I
maintain that a person will fulfill more of his or her potential in life if
they take the time to think about and plan what it is they really want. Set
goals that point to it and then work like crazy to receive. And if you are
doing what you really love, you'll never work a day in your life. You do the
work, but it does not feel like work.
