By the time you reach your 25th to 30th birthdays, you may have as many as 32,000 wonderfully interlocking skills and talents under their belt. Typical probably does include you. You are a typical human in at least SOME ways, aren't you? Excellent. Getting better at ANY human task quickly brings better results. Without a doubt, attitude supercedes aptitude in determining your altitude. The faster you focus on this, the faster you'll see far, far more of the results you most desire. By the time you reach your 25th to 30th birthdays, you may have as many as 32,000 wonderfully interlocking skills and talents under their belt. Typical probably does include you. You are a typical human in at least SOME ways, aren't you? Excellent.
One stands out far and above as the most underrated,
underused of them all. Tapping into this power more efficiently today, here and now, is absolutely guaranteed to produce unprecedented results in your life -- ready for this? -- within the next 24 hours. THOUSANDS of Winners and Role Models have said so, and proven it to be so -- and if you knew better, we'd see you DOING it better, wouldn't we? Well, here's your shot, yet again; your chance to make it better... NOW. Two women
receive flowers from their respective guys. One melts with love
and hugs him, while the other demands to know what he's up to,
why he's being nice, and he'd better 'fess up now.
One of the 42,000 Americans who responded to NASA's call for citizens to apply for acceptance into the elite corps of astronauts was a teacher. Despite the enormous odds against it, he continued to make the grade cut after cut, even into the final 100 candidates, then being accepted into the training program. He found that his students and friends, family and co-workers, all offered support for his cherished dream. Epictetus was sending you a very personal message when he said,, The only people who understand that sentence are those who live it on a day to day basis by focusing on the solution, rather than just the problem. Abraham Lincoln also hit the nail on the head when he articulated the thought that a person is just about as happy as they make up their mind to be. On the surface, that statement appears simple. Rest assured there are multiple layers to this idea. How sad that you don't have the time to invest just five consecutive minutes thinking, really thinking about the profoundly powerful nature of Mr. Lincoln's statement.
Those who invest those 5 minutes quickly yield the sweet fruit of wisdom and its attendant profit. It's so incredibly simple, and powerful; why are you not tapping into it in this very hour to dramatically alter so many different facets of your life?
Hero or housewife (not mutually exclusive), astronaut or temp office worker; we become what we think about. Take greater control today over what you're focusing. on, and watch how many improvements you quickly discern. It never fails. You only fail to keep trying. There is nothing else; all else is commentary. Norman Vincent Peale achieved dozens of his most cherished goals. One of his greatest accomplishments was his
decision to be happy for several consecutive decades. This was not a year or two of happiness. We're talking 70 straight years of personal felicity and joy in each day, through life's daunting challenges and soaring successes. He did not underrate the value
of Lincoln's words. Near the end of his long, rich life he made the following statement: "The single greatest discovery of my life, outside of my relationship with God, has been the understanding that when you think in negative
terms you will get negative results, and when you think in positive terms, you will get positive results." There is no human power, skill, or talent more underrated and underused than the faculty of focus. In every moment of your life, your mood is determined far less by the events occurring in your life than by how you choose to process those events and their impact on your life. It is has always been, and shall always be,... ... your choice. It can affect you mildly, or profoundly, positively, negatively, or indifferently. Outside factors play less of a role in your happiness than your attitude does.
Whether you like it or not, whether you employ it or not, the unrelenting fact of life, more powerful than any other statement you're likely to hear, can be summed up thus: Attitude, not aptitude, determines altitude. This applies to brain surgeons and garbage removers, mothers and parliamentarians, every one of us breathing. What you choose to focus on is what you end up moving towards. This alone, tapped into within the next few minutes, will launch of set of improvements that are unconditionally guaranteed to boost your results in every area you look upon. Don't try to rewrite the laws of physics; that's why they are the laws of physics. They are immutable, and instead of saying, "Yes, but…," both you and I are best served by ceasing to argue, bitch, moan, and groan about why we can't do this, or get that, or become this or that. Surely you agree that we're all best served by using the laws of physics to our advantage? Focus better today, you get better results today. Period. Those of us just half as smart as we think we are will generate immediate and lasting benefits, not only for ourselves; for others, too. We do so by talking less, and doing more. You instantly benefit from shutting up and using more of the resources already at your disposal. Knowing it means very little until you are doing. You already know most of what you need to in order win at just about any given task. Proof? Well, picture someone you know walking up to you in the next hour and saying, "I have this dream of ________________, and I respect your opinion because I know you're smart. Can you give me some suggestions on how I can go about making this dream a reality?" In just about every case you're able to provide suggestions, and in just about every case you're be willing to provide suggestions, some of them easy to implement. True, or not? When unhappy situations arise, continue acting like a baby, reacting instead of responding, or view each situation as an opportunity. Knowing that every cloud has a silver lining doesn't help unless and until you practice it when the rain starts pouring. It's easy, it's simple, and when applied immediately, begins producing better results at a faster rate than you have up until now. If and when you show serious anger to people around you, it's not because they're inept and stupid; it's because you're angry about something you're not resolving. You see, even if those people ARE inept and stupid, it has nothing to do with your anger, because the same event that angers you might not bother someone else. As well, how often is there an intelligent reason or measurable benefit in expressing that anger? When was the last time you obtained something worthwhile from screaming at someone, once or twice in a lifetime? Did THEY get any lasting benefit, aside from learning it would be smarter not to interact with you? The event of the bus being late did not annoy anyone, any more than it pleased anyone. It only presented an opportunity to show a small mind, or a large mind. The eventual outcome of every event is determined by how the event is responded to. Every event in your life can be dealt with from outside in or inside out. Positive, or negative. Narrow the beam of light, and you see it get stronger. It's identical to your mind in this respect: |
|
Your mind, and your flashlight, are interchangeable: the wider the beam, the weaker the focus, right? And, just as surely...
Furthermore, whatever you focus upon, just like that flashlight or headlight, is what you're going to move towards. How about taking better control today? The instant something happens to upset you or anger you, just play the thousand-dollar game. If paid one thousand dollars per idea to list everything that's good about what just happened, you'd come up with a long list, wouldn't you? |
Napoleon Hill helped to create many thousands of millionaires, because people understood his teaching that every human adversity contains seeds of equal and greater opportunity. How sad that you surely know this to be true, yet you don't bother to apply it regularly in your own life, do you? Have you screamed at your kids today? On this very day two thousand parents will receive tragic news today regarding one or more of their children. You can have good memories, or regrets. |
|
As always, and with everything human, what you choose to focus on will determine happy memories versus regrets. Take better control of your focus today. It's part of understanding why focus is the single most underrated, underutilized power or skill possessed by a human being. You are surrounded by opportunities virtually smacking you in the face, yet you insist on doing the same... and therefore producing the same. The probabilities of your enjoying the fruit they offer depend on one thing only: your focus . Focus is your ticket to a dream come true.
