TemptationAVOID THE TEMPTATION to get rich quick.
Everybody wants everything instantly - instant rice, instant pudding, instant success - served in pablum form. My father was from Germany, and he said, "Always take time to be an apprentice and learn the whole job." I did this . . . and it worked!
AVOID THE TEMPTATION to take shortcuts.
Taking shortcuts cutting corners is a character flaw. You will be building on sand, and it will surely collapse. It always has. It always will. AVOID THE TEMPTATION to believe that "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence." We need to stay focused on where we are now, what we are doing now, our present opportunity, our present job, our present activity. We need to be able to make our present responsibilities work, whatever price we have to pay.
AVOID THE TEMPTATION to quit too soon.
History books, story books, and movies are filled with illustrations and parables of people who quit "three feet too soon digging for gold." Just one more try to complete an invention; just one more call to make a sale.
COLLECTIVELY WHAT DO ALL THESE TEMPTATIONS CAUSE?
They cause you to . . .
1. Lose sight of your goals,
2. Develop a lack of confidence, and
3. Suffer from an eroding self-esteem.
HOW DO YOU AVOID THIS?
1. Commit to a singleness of purpose.
2. Set and put into writing specific and clearly defined goals.
3. Outline exact action steps you must take to achieve your goals.
4. Repeat daily affirmations to support your goals.
5. Form a support group of your spouse, friends, associates, and work partners.
6. Create an accountability factor.
Expectation "Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful."
-- Norman Vincent Peale
"You begin by always expecting good things to happen." -- Tom Hopkins
It is funny about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the very best you will very often get it." -- W. Somerset Maugham
"Whether you think you can or think you canīt, youīre right." -- Henry Ford
Change "Itīs easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than to think your way into a new way of acting." -- Millard Fuller (founder of Habitat for Humanity)
"You are what you think about all day long." -- Dr. Robert Schuller
"What the mind of a man can conceive and believe the mind of a man can achieve." -- Napoleon Hill
"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds."
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." -- James Allen
Success #2"Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised."
-- Denis Waitley
"I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through - then follow through." -- Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker
"Plan your work and work your plan. Decide in advance exactly how you are going to get from where you are to where you want to go."
-- Brian Tracy
"Never begin the day until it is finished on paper." -- Jim Rohn
