"To get profit without risk, experience without danger, and
reward without work, is as impossible as it is to live
without being born," wrote A.P. Gouthey.
Every person who has attained something worthwhile has
worked for that goal.
Cary Grant said, "I do believe that people can do
practically anything they set out to do if they apply
themselves diligently and learn."
Which path is the right way towards your goal?
Do you need more education?
Do you need a few years experience in your field of
business?
Maybe you need a teacher or guide to help you practice.
"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much
by the position that one has reached, as by the obstacles
which are overcome while trying to succeed," wrote Booker T.
Washington.
What obstacles are in your way?
Consider them as easy to pass through as hurdles are to a
champion runner. Take each obstacle as a special challenge
placed especially for you. Approach it with intelligence and
courage, then learn what it has to teach.
"Success is a journey," said Ben Sweetland, "not a
destination."
For some, the process of attainment is the attainment
itself. They move on, keep growing and expanding. There is
no still water at the top.
"The message from the moon is that no problem need any
longer be considered insoluble," wrote Norman Cousins. And
you can attain anything that seems impossible.
If you have a problem that needs to be solved, sit calmly
and consider it with a clear mind. Observe all the
consequences of the actions - both good and bad. Ponder the
paths and actions and contemplate the core of the problem.
The solution will appear.
"Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find;
knock and it shall be opened to you for everyone who asketh,
receiveth. He that seeketh, findeth and to him that
knocketh, it shall be opened."
Tap the inner self and encourage positive actions.
With each outgoing breath, release the impossible; at each
incoming breath, inhale the attainable.
Demand the best of yourself, but don't despair from an
overused sense of perfection.
What can you learn? And who can teach you?
Can you attend classes and seminars near your home?
Check out books from the libraries and absorb the material.
Find a master and become an apprentice.
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or
eighty," said Henry Ford.
Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in
life is to keep your mind young.
Never stop learning; never stop growing and expanding as a
person and in your personal endeavours.
