10 Of My Own Quotable Quotes – Part 71
Jan 16th
1. No one has capacity to tamper with or influence another person’s emotional climate. Individuals make personal decisions to react in response to other people’s actions and attitudes. Ceding your rights to happiness only to blame it on others is therefore a misplacement.
2. Knowledge should never be complicated. The simpler you communicate, the higher the levels of absorption and intake. The more we try to communicate simple things in “deep” ways, we perpetuate ignorance. People gravitate towards sound, original and simple communication.
3. He who is slack to use his hands should never look sorry when others eat. There is no magic to productivity. It is merely an element of ensuring that the hands are put to their correct use.
4. Communication that is made without properly thinking is usually messy. Never react to any situation in the form of words when your clarity of thought is not there. When you are sober minded and collected, you are better placed to make a reasonable and fair judgment of any situation without swimming in the emotions.
5. Never underestimate the power of an affirmation. It is like fresh fuel to an engine that has run dry. Affirmations have the ability to unearth hidden potential in people who never saw themselves as such. If you have no positive words to say about another person, I suggest you use your mouth more for singing than talking.
6. People who make decisions faster have the ability to keep the world turning than the speculative, calculative and suspicious ones. While one should never ignore the levels of risks that exist, you should never take forever to make the decision. There is a time-frame that begins to impact negatively on others. Strike a balance between productivity and risk calculation.
7. The best lessons taught are not even in words or printed form. The best lecture you can ever deliver to any viewer is when you live your life honorably, with integrity of heart being the person you always want people to know and remember you for.
8. It is harder to get hold of the new if you can not let go of the old. The same hand you want to fill may already be full with what you do not need. Learn to forsake what simply occupies space to apprehend what it necessary for your destiny. Not all possessions are essential.
9. You should never entertain any requests from the enemy (devil) no matter how small. You have no business listening to the melody from the one who seeks to decimation no matter how sweet. You give him a finger he will soon upgrade and demand the arm. Channel your energy and focus on the one who builds your life.
10. There is no single thought (no matter how powerful) that can withstand the power of an utterance or an affirmation. You can never counter a thought with another.
Mastering Yourself
Oct 29th
The best gift I know of is one we can give ourselves. It is also one of the wisest business investments we can ever make. Think of your Internet Income Opportunity as you continue reading. The gift I am referring to is our own personal development. Let’s have a look at the processes at work here to clarify this. How do we determine if something is a success?
Typically, we look at our results to determine success or failure. The problem with this way of thinking is that results always come at the end of the process. We cannot judge the actions we are taking along the way by results as the results are not in yet! A result implies the past, something that is complete, and we’ve already discussed how dangerous it is to live in the past. Results are useful as a tool to learn from, to help make better decisions for the present and future. Instead of waiting for results, we could focus on our actions, but there is a flaw with this thinking as well. Focusing on our actions does not take into account the attitudes that are behind our actions. Our attitudes and thoughts are developed out of our philosophy.
Jeff Olson, in The Slight Edge, put it very neatly like this:
your philosophy
creates
your attitudes, your actions, your results
creates
your life
“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve. – W. Clement Stone
Our philosophy is the source of our failure or success. The best way to move toward our goals is continuous learning. There are many ways to learn: school; books; teachers; examples of others; from our own mistakes. The best road to success in Direct Sales Marketing is to learn from all of these sources, not just one or two. Continuous learning is what builds our philosophy and our awareness of the world around us.
Statistics show that fifty-eight percent of all high school graduates, who do not continue their formal education, never read another book in their lifetime. According to Wycliffe Organization, one person in six (world-wide) cannot read! Life is not a spectator sport, and there are no do-overs. My favorite motto is: if you’re not growing, you’re dying.
So, here’s the process I believe works the best: – Make the best choices with the information we have. – Form plans to achieve our goals, and get started. – Learn along the way, and make adjustments as necessary.
