Definiteness of purpose

 Any human being who can be definite in his aims and plans can make life hand over whatever is wanted.

One takes advantage of the principle of definiteness just as one may build a strong physical body through constant, systematic use.

Anyone who adopts definiteness of purpose as a policy and uses it in all of his daily experiences cannot be induced to form the habit of drifting.

Says the devil: "Once any peson hesitates, procrastinates, or becomes indefinite about anything, he is just one step removed from my control."

"All habits, save only that the love of definiteness of purpose, may lead to the habit of drifting."

Love is a state of mind which beclouds reason, saps will power, and blinds one to facts and truth.

Everyone who becomes self-determining and gains spiritual freedom to think in his own thoughts must examine carefully every emotion that seems even remotely related to love.

Both love and fear are emotional forces of such stupendous potency that either may completely set aside the power of the will and the power of reason. Without will and reason there is nothing left to support definiteness of purpose.

People who gain and maintain the power must become definite in all their thoughts and all their deeds. If that is what you call hard, then they must be hard.

Weak plan have a way of becoming strong if definitely applied.

People who are definite in both their plans and their purposes never accept temporary defeat as being more than an urge to greater effort.

The best of plans sometimes misfire, but the person who moves with definiteness recognizes the difference between temporary defeat and failure. When plan fails he substitutes others but he does not change his purpose. He perseveres. Eventually he finds a plan that succeeds

 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 Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading.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.
