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.

 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...

How to Build Better Habits in 4 Simple Steps

WHY YOUR BRAIN BUILDS HABITS A habit is a behavior that has been repeated enough times to become automatic. The process of habit formation begins with trial and error. Whenever you encounter a new situation in life, your brain has to make a decision. How do I respond to this? The first time you come across a problem, you’re not sure how to solve it. You’re just trying things out to see what works. You’re taking in tons of new information and trying to make sense of it all. The brain is busy learning the most effective course of action. You stumble across a solution. You’re feeling anxious, and you discover that going for a run calms you down. You’re mentally exhausted from a long day of work, and you learn that playing video games relaxes you. You’re exploring, exploring, exploring, and then—BAM—a reward. After you stumble upon an unexpected reward, you alter your strategy for next time. Your brain immediately begins to catalog the events that preceded the reward. Wait a minute—that fe...
