Over the past few weeks I've talked about how success-minded thinking requires a willingness to view life with a positive perspective. It also calls for persistence and determination.
As Calvin Coolidge wrote: "Press on. Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; the world is full of unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
To help you stay persistent and embrace success-minded thinking, commit yourself to building and maintaining friendships and contacts that enrich and enhance your life, and your dreams. I like to call these people "true fans and supporters." They are the ones who believe in you and want you to achieve your desires. They cheer you on, celebrate your accomplishments, and lift you up when you are feeling down.
The saying, "misery loves company" is all too true, so limit time and set clear boundaries with those who are constantly negative, unsupportive and drain your precious energy. They are on a different path than you. Perhaps your positive ways and abundant life will influence them to make a change in their own life, perhaps not. Remember you can't make anyone change who is not ready.
Keep the focus on yourself. Surround yourself with positive like-minded people. Press on, Betsy. Great success will come if you are persistent.
We are here to help you every step of the way.
Until next week,
Merry Christmas! Try and relax, as emotions are likely to be a little inflammable on both the 25th and 26th! If you are hosting the family celebrations, you'll need to take a few misplaced comments with a pinch of salt the size of the Dead Sea. Betsy, make sure you've arranged to celebrate in style on New Year's Eve, as the astrological indications are that it is going to be romantic and glamorous. Have a wonderful time -- and believe me when I say that you are going to have a marvelous 2007!
