TO ACT

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.

Quote by Maxwell Maltz

He was an American cosmetic surgeon and author of Psycho-Cybernetics, which was a system of ideas that he claimed could improve one’s self-image. In turn, the person would lead a more successful and fulfilling life. Born 1899 Died 1975

REFLECTION:

  • What ideas have you bet on?
  • What calculated risks have you taken?
  • Is there a calculated risk you need to take going forward?
  • What is it?  What can you do “to act?”

HABITS

“We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Quote by Aristotle – Greek Philosopher   Born 385 BC Died 322 BC

REFLECTION:

  • What things do you do repeatedly?
  • Are they good habits or bad habits?
  • Are there any habits you want to:  Stop?  Start?  Continue?
  • Make a list … commit to a new habit (just one) that will support your on the journey to excellence.

TOO HEAVY

Sometimes we are hanging on by a string but afraid to let go…

“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason they are too heavy.  So, let them go, let go of them.”

Quote by C. Joybell C.

REFLECTION:

  • What are you carrying (anger, resentments, un-forgiveness, memories of failures) that are too heavy?

  • What things can you let go of?
