“If you help other people get what they want, they’ll help you get what you want. If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar
Invest in Your Character
“That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the ‘who’ you are as much as the ‘what’ of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can’t do the latter without the former.” – Henry Cloud
Growing or Dying
“Ask yourself this critical question: “Am I growing or dying?” If your answer is dying, make the decision today to become more aware and begin growing. The ultimate goal of the world class thinker is to ascend to the highest level of awareness in the shortest amount of time. The more aware you become, the more successful, fulfilled and happy you will be.” – Steve Siebold
Marriage Qualities
On their 50th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration. “Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?” an anonymous voice yelled from the back of the room.
Tom responded, “Well, I’ve learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness — and a great many other qualities you wouldn’t need if you stayed single.”
Begin to Take Risks
“Learning to be comfortable when taking calculated risks is an acquired skill. The only way to develop it is to begin to take risks. Decide today to take a small risk on something you’ve been thinking about doing. Feel the fear and do it anyway. If this process is new to you, rest assured- you will feel less fear with every risk you take.” – Steve Siebold
