The Power of a Compelling Future

 

How Will You Know Your Life’s Purpose? When You Decide What It Is!

 •According to the Massachusetts Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the most important risk factor in dying of your first heart attack is job dissatisfaction. Make sure you have a deeper meaning for your life than “I’m on that grindstone again!” 

• Victor Frankl, a Nazi concentration camp survivor and author of Man’s Search for Meaning, found his purpose in his future. He vowed that somehow he would survive, share his story and make sure that nothing like the Holocaust could ever happen again. 

• Near the end of his life, actor Michael Landon discovered a profound truth. In reminding people to live life to the fullest, every minute of every day, he developed a compelling purpose for his final days. 

Your Purpose in Life Is Up to You

Are you being efficient or effective? Being efficient means doing things right. Being effective means doing the right things.

Why Some People Don’t Win the Game of Life

So many people feel like they can’t win the game of life. Why? For these seven reasons:

1. They don’t know the purpose of the game. 

2. Even though they don’t know the purpose, they have rules for themselves and everyone else about how the game must be played. 

3. Their rules are in conflict. 

4. Even when they play by the rules, they don’t always win. 

5. Sometimes they get rewarded for breaking the rules. 

6. They have to work with other people who all have the wrong rules. 

7. They think it’s a life-and-death game, putting so much fear and pressure on themselves that they never truly live.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Where thought prevails, power may be found!

If you think you are beaten, you are; if you think you dare not you don't; If you like to win, but you think you can't, it is almost certain you won't, If you think you'll lose, you've lost, for out of the world we find success begins with a fellow's will it's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are - you've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life's battle don't always go to the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. No one knows what hidden forces lie dormant within you. You, yourself, do not know your capacity for achievement, and you never will know until you come in contact with the particular stimulus that arouses you to greater action and extends your vision, develops your self confidence, and moves you with a deeper desire to achieve. The most important turning points of life often comes at the ...

Self-Discipline

One must gain mastery over self the person who is not master of himself can never be master of others. Lack of self-mastery is, of itself, the most destructive form of indefiniteness. By mastering the three appetites responsible for most of one's lack of self discipline. The three appetites are (1) The desire for food, (2) The desire for expression of sex, (3) The desire to express loosely organized opinions. When a man becomes master of these three appetites, he has developed enough self-discipline to conquer easily those of lesser importance. Self mastery contempates sufficient control over the appetites to enable one to feed them what they need and withhold food not needed. Take the desire for physical food, for example. The majority of people are so weak in self discipline they fill their stocmachs with combinations of rich food which please the taste but overwork the organs of digestion and elimination. They pour into their stomachs both quantity and combinations of food which...
