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." *

I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
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
