The reason why you are defeated

Is because you do not have the power to reach a decision!

All your life you have been forming the habit of dodging the responsibility of reaching decisions. Until you have come how to where it is well-nigh impossible for you to do so.

Nobody is ever down and out until he is under the sod you may be temporarily down, but you can get up again.

Mastery of seventeen laws of success is the equivalent of an insurance policy against failure.
-Samuel Gompers

Time the mighty hand that rocks the eternal cradle of progress and nurses struggling humanity through that period when man needs protection against his own ignorance.

It is an important part of the leader's responsibility to induce people to subordinate their own ideas and interests for the good of the whole, and this applies to matters of a civic, business, social, political, financial, or industrial nature.

Success, no matter what may be one's concept of that term, is nearly always a question of one's ability to get others to subordinate their own individual interests and follow a leader.

The leader who has the personality and the imagination to induce followers to accept his or her plans and carry them out faithfully is always an able leader.

Leadership and imagination are so closely allied and so essential for success that one cannot be gainfully applied without the other.

Initiative is the moving force that pushes the leader ahead, but imagination is the guiding spirit which way to go.

It has been said that all battles in warfare are won or lost not only the firing line but behind the lines, through the sound strategy, or the lack of it, used by the generals who plan the battles.

What is true of warfare is equally true in business and in most other problems that confront us through life. We win or lose according to the plans we build and carry out, a fact which serves to emphasize the value of the laws of initiative and leadership, Imagination, Self Confidence, and a definite chief aim.

With the intelligent use of these four laws, one may build plans, for any purpose, which cannot be defeated by any person or group of persons who do not employ or understand these laws.

There is no escape from this truth. Organized effort is effort that is directed according to a plan that was conceived with the aid of imagination, guided by a definite chief aim, and given momentum with Initiative and self confidence.

These four laws blend into one and become a power in the hands of a leader. Without their aid, effective leadership is impossible.

Intolerance
If you must give expression to prejudice and hatred and intolerance, do not speak it, but write it in the sands, near the water's edge.

The bitterest intolerance grows out of religious, racial, and economic prejudices and differences of opinion.

The folly of trying to destroy one another because we are of different religious beliefs and racial tendencies?

Our allotted time on this earth is a fleeting moment. Why can we not learn to live during this brief earthly visit that when the great caravan called death draws up and announces this visit completed, we will be ready to fold our tents and silently follow out into the great unknown without fear and trembling.

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications. To in...
