Take On the "Small Stuff" and Conquer It.

One of my favorite books is "The Slight Edge", by Jeff Olson. Success arrives at your door step when you persistently do small tasks on a consistent basis, like the story about the "Tortoise and the Hare". You can scramble about doing "busy work", shuffling papers, hopping about from one task to another without focusing on the small tasks and get nowhere. However, by organizing your tasks, taking them on one at at time and doing them consistently, you WILL reach your goals. Reaching your goals brings about Greatness in your life.

Max Steingart shared the following:

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Many people take the first step and then stop.Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely the value of your first step.

All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a forth step in a continuous line.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life.

That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.

Are You A Winner or a Whiner?

What is winning? Is it crossing the finish line first....ALWAYS? Or is winning persistence? Without persistence you simply cannot win. Winning is not LUCK.....it is generally the culmination of lots of hard work done on a consistent basis.

Here are some thoughts from Dennis Waitley about Winning.

Winning Is........

Winning is never whining.

Winning is coming in fourth, exhausted but excited, because you came in fifth last time.

Winning is being glad you're you.

Winning is feeling, there is no ceiling.

Winning is beginning, and by beginning, the game is half won.

Winning is all in the attitude!



Where do you want to be in your life? I want to be winning, even if it ISN'T first place everytime. It's doing my best, staying in the game and persisting.

Make Your Dreams Your Reality

by Max Steingart

You have the power and the opportunity to change your life.
You can make anything you want of it.
It's not difficult; it just takes some effort.

See things as you would have them to be instead of as they are.
Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.

Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will work toward making those mental pictures come true.

When you picture yourself as vividly winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.

Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.
