December 27th, 2007: Thoughts for the day (1)
“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.”
(yes, grow that damn wisdom under your feet, feel it, use it, rock with it!)

"What would you do today if you were brave?"
(Jana Stansfield )
=====================================================
"The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person
you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop
long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small
voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do
even if you weren't paid. And what do you do once you turn down the
noise of your life and heed that call? You face the biggest challenge
of all: to have the courage to seek your big dream regardless of what
anyone else says or thinks. You are the only person alive who can see
your big picture -- and even you can't see it all." -

"You'll never stand on the mountaintop unless you've stood in the
valley."
(Rick Beneteau)

"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not
equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith,
prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let
go, we are demanding our power be turned on."
(Iyanla Vanzant)

Let us ROCK with an opinion on PERSISTENCE!
How To Develop Persistence
As an Internet Marketer, I’ve seen countless people set themselves challenges and fail to meet their lofty goals. But why do they fail?
Is it the plan that is at fault?
Is it the lack mindset they hold?
Is it their lack of persistence?
Since acquiring a habit of persistence is connected with the mindset, I firmly believe that acquiring the correct mindset is crucial before taking on any goals. If you get your mindset right first then the correct plan and the right people will be drawn to you through the utilization of the Law of Attraction.
This explains why one person can disclose their plans that created them great fortunes and yet another person attempts to follow the plans and fails. The mindset of the two individuals was different.
The truth is that you don’t need a detailed plan with every step already worked out for you. You do need a good idea of where you want to be and how you intend on getting there, but the smaller details of these plans will fall into place once you’ve practiced a success mindset.
Persistence is just one of the habits you MUST have in order to acquire a success mindset.
Napoleon revealed four steps which are essential to developing a habit of persistence:
There are four simple steps which lead to the habit of PERSISTENCE. They call for no great amount of intelligence, no particular amount of education, and but little time or effort. The necessary steps are:
1.
A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILLMENT.
2.
A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION.
3.
A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.
4.
A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE.
Let’s have a look at each of these four statements…
1. A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILLMENT. As already discussed in Chapter1: Desire, acquiring a Burning Desire for your intended outcome is the first step towards acquiring riches of any kind. Without such a passionate desire, you will be easily knocked off of your horse at the first hurdle.
2. A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION. Although your definite plan of action will become attracted to you by creating a burning desire to achieve your goal, you do need a solid plan to begin continuous action. This plan should be decided upon with the aid of your mastermind group. Just remember, reach your decisions promptly but change those decisions slowly (if at all).
3. A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES. From a Law of Attraction perspective, if you no longer focus on the negative aspect of a family member or friend, then that part of their personality CANNOT be shown to you. Even if that person had nine personality traits you disliked about them, but had one personality trait that you did enjoy – if you could hold your attention on that one good aspect of that person and make that your dominant vibration around the person then by the Law of Attraction you would only be eligible to be around that person when they are demonstrating that one good aspect of their personality.
4. A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE. Having someone to provide encouragement and hold you accountable to complete regular tasks is vital to your success. You can find this person in your mastermind group. Alternatively you should consider seeking a business coach to help you remain accountable and provide the necessary knowledge that can help you avoid costly mistakes that you may have made if you were going it alone.

“Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.”
(author unknown)
Chillen in an opinion on habits:
While it’s true that bad habits are sometimes hard to break, the same can also be true of good habits. At first, you might have to work hard to form a good habit, but over time the good habit will come easy to you. Good habits can be a great foundation for consistency in other areas of your life as well.
==========================================================
I believe in all of you. Each one of you are special. Each one of you deserve to earn the goal you so desperately want and desire. I want to do what ever I can to assist you to it. Believe in yourself. Be wise and think you CAN, it is in all of you.
===========================================================
The best is yet to come. You havent seen anything yet. Im going to put those pics of myself I posted to the forum to UTTER SHAME.
===========================================================
I hope your day went well and brought all of you much happiness and joy.
Best regards,
Chillen
