Sharing Some Secrets of the Superachievers of this World

(from "Inspirational Books")



"Every great man has become great, every successful man has

succeeded, in proportion as he has confined his powers to one

particular channel."

- Orison Swett Marsden



"Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess."

- Oscar Wilde



"Racing is all I want to do. I don't have a Plan A and a Plan B."

- Mario Andretti



You've got to love it with a passion that will follow you to the

grave. If you don't have that, you might as well forget it, I

think."



If you LOVE WHAT YOU DO, you'll have a GRAND PURPOSE for your

life. The super-achiever's life then becomes focussed, with the

person having the capacity to concentrate on the important

things, rather than the superficial. This is a direct result of

knowing where one is going - don't get side-tracked and so lose

momentum.



MOTIVATIONAL: Motivation comes from having a goal that is


inspirational. In turn, this causes us to focus our lives even

more and gives us the energy through which we can accomplish our

dreams. "The goal becomes both the target and the fuel."



"We achieve, because we believe."

"Faith achieves the impossible."



Greatness is often born in the cauldron of suffering and pain. It

is in the hard places, the lonely places, that we discover if we

really have an all-consuming purpose or sense of destiny."



"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through

experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,

vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."

- Helen Keller



One must cling to the dream and with every fibre of ones being go

into battle.



The indominatable human spirit in triumphing over adversity comes

out again and again. In one study of successful people from

different walks of life, it was discovered that their problems

were more severe than those of average people. One fourth had


major handicaps, such as deafness, blindness or crippled limbs.

Three-quarters came from broken homes or were born in abject

poverty.



The common thread was that their problems built an even stronger

determination to overcome. They all resumed responsibility -

refusing to bow down to a 'victim mentality'.



Super Achievers were average people, who simply would not give up

or let go of their dream - through failure after failure.



Raw talent is not enough, yet simple tenacity will make the

difference. A willingness to never give up was their chief aid on

the pathway to success. We must learn how to face defeat without

being defeated; because failure is only that once it is accepted.



Zig Zigler once quipped: "The only difference between a big shot

and a little shot is that the big shot kept shooting."



You gotta to true to thyself. "I gotta be true to Ray."

- Ray Charles (who sadly died the other day)



Success is not a ladder - it's a PROCESS, a journey we must all travel

along, as we float down the "river of life" in our human quest

for knowledge, insight and wisdom.



Achievers have a positive attitude with an abundance mentality,

together with:



* faith in humanity...one's fellow man...and woman, of course!



Man's greatness lies in his power of thought. "God does not hand

over to us, His children, everything we desire. He gives us the

tools that we require to succeed and allows us to discover for

ourselves how to use them."



Initiave, dreams, entrepreneurship, wisdom and persistence.



Super Achievers success is God's way of helping other people.



Super-achievers have an inward contentment in pursuing their

over-riding goal, so they have peace of mind regarding their

chosen path.



* internal harmony with their highest values in line with

one's life purpose. They keep their perspective on life, seeing

life as a marathon - not a sprint.



* They know themselves and are in touch with their feelings.

They are true to themselves living with integrity. "No man is

free, who is not master of himself." - Epicetus



* focus, which produces clarity and energy



* self growth



* humility



* tenacity



* persistence



* hard work



* great motivation



* use the technique of goal setting



* have a grand vision



* develop their discipline. It entails

"putting in the hard yards" on the pathway to success - "no gain,

no pain". "The men who try and do something and fail are

infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed."

- Lloyd James



The difference between the achiever and

super-achiever is often a matter of discipline. The key to

discipline is having a sense of destiny.



* They harness the energy, talents and dreams of people around

them in a spirit of co-operation...and so fulfil their destinies

in life.



* humility - not so much putting oneself down... but lifting up

others.



* courage, which never fails to grab the heart and motivate the

soul. Courage makes us stronger, braver and better people.

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to face

fear and say, 'Regardless of how I feel at this moment, I am

going to push through to the other side.'



Mahatma Gandhi's courage was evident in his persistence in

imprisonment and fasting - the stamina that courage brings.



Courage has been the key element in the success of many of the

world's Super-Achievers.



* A creative imagination



* A strong spirit. The generosity and nobility of spirit in

'great souled' people - people with a strong sense of life mission - like

Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin

Luther King , Mother Theresa...



and as evidenced in the 'infinite spirit' of Jesus Christ, of course!



Courage is a by-product of faith, child of destiny purpose, once

cultivated, produces naturally the necessary ingredients to

fulfill itself perspective - peace of mind humility - grown in

knowledge and wisdom



Say 'no' to the security of mediocrity. When the decision is

made and the journey is embarked upon with conviction, the soul

finds much help along the way. God, the Universe helps those who help

themselves.



Most important is the journey inward - the soul must be nurtured,

if we are going to be the people we dream of.



Great lives don't just happen, they are caused. Caused through

desire, decision, determination and faith (great). Say to yourself:

"I WILL UNTIL!"



"Let us take courage. Let us be who we are meant to be. Life is

for living. The years are passing. The time for decision is now." *

To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth

to remind you that happiness can happen

when you least expect it.



I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile

to show you the simple beauty of life

and to give you the magic of dreams come true.



I wish you rainbows

I wish you well."



- Larry S. Chenges
