A Little Initiative

THERE ISN’T MUCH ONE CAN DO FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL NOT TRY TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIMSELF.

One of the keys to success is Personal Initiative. Most people-including those who will play a key role in the level of success you achieve in your life-will not give you their full assistance and support unless you first take the initiative. If you see something that needs to be done, just do it. Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, says, "A little initiative will improve your luck nine days out of ten."

Be Resourceful!

A RESOURCEFUL PERSON WILL ALWAYS MAKE OPPORTUNITY FIT HIS OR HER NEEDS.

The ability to recognize opportunities is a critical element of success, but it is only the beginning. An idea is valuable only if it can be put into practice-by you. Highly successful people know that there are many ways to capitalize on an opportunity. They evaluate and shape it to fit their capabilities, or they put together a team composed of people with the skills necessary to take advantage of it-whatever it takes to make it work. Seldom is there any single right answer in business. Often there are any number of right answers.

Being Broke Is Temporary

THOSE WHO ARE QUICK TO SEE THEIR LIMITATIONS GENERALLY ARE SLOW IN SEEING THEIR OPPORTUNITIES.

Movie producer Michael Todd once said, "Being broke is temporary; being poor is a state of mind." So it is with opportunity. Whether you see opportunities or limitations is entirely within your control. How you view the world is a reflection of your mental attitude. If you focus on your inadequacies, you will be plagued by fear, doubt, and failure, but when you focus on your strengths, you will find courage, confidence, and success. Self-confidence can replace self-doubt only by deliberate, planned effort. When you start to doubt your capabilities, pause to review your previous accomplishments. Identify every experience that might be helpful to you in your present situation. When you apply the knowledge and wisdom you have accumulated, there are few limitations that you cannot overcome.capitalize upon them.

Stand Aside

THE WORLD STANDS ASIDE AND MAKES ROOM FOR THE PERSON WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING AND IS ON HIS WAY.

When you have a vision for what you wish to achieve in your life, not only will others stand aside and let you pass, but they will join you in your quest as well. They will instinctively recognize your enthusiasm and zest for living. When you speak of your passion in life, your definite major goal, they will see the intensity of your desire, and they will respond with encouragement and assistance or they will stand aside. It will be apparent to all who know you that you will succeed.

Take Action

LIFE SAYS, "MAKE GOOD OR MAKE ROOM, BUT DON’T MAKE EXCUSES."

In today’s management parlance, "Lead , follow, or get out of the way." When you are actively working toward a goal, there are no failures; there are only degrees of success. Choose to be a leader. Take the initiative. When you are faced with a problem or a difficult decision, don’t waste endless hours agonizing over the solution. If you analyze the situation objectively, you will always find an answer. Don’t focus on the problem; focus on the solution. Then get into action. As W. Clement Stone has often said, "The emotions are not always subject to reason, but they are always subject to action!"

My Journey

I am on a journey to my true happiness allowing my life to unfold according to plan. Just as the sun rises and sets so is my life rising and setting. All that follows in between unfolds into a beautiful day. I am enjoying the ride watching all things come to life and taking every breath as if it is my first. The sweet smell of fragrant flowers is in the air. The bright clear blue sky tells me this is another grand and inspiring day. This picture is in my mind bringing to me all the beauty and wonders of this day. Yes, external beauty that can only be given and express from within.

When the battles of negative and positive feelings begin I remind myself to stop and breathe. That this war within does not last and prevent me from achieving my dreams. I get up and change my thoughts finding something to do that I may prevent this battle from taking hold on my life. By so doing, I prevent my life from becoming stagnated and all the things that I want most hence are not delayed.
