| Guess what I'm thinking about... |
Just the other day, I tweeted that I think too much about fashion. Then I thought to myself, "Oh well!" This got me to thinking about a video that I used to watch everyday to give me my daily words of encouragement. It is called "The Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale. This video has helped me to realize that we can be successful no matter where we are at in our lives; it just takes a bit of soul searching, and most importantly, FOCUS. In the video, Earl Nightingale observes a series of great definitions and quotes that we all can live by and use to understand our lives and where we are going. Some examples include:
-Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal
-"The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it's conformity." ~ Rollo May
-95% of men/women will not succeed because they conform!
-Instead of competing, all we have to do is create!
-The key to success/failure: We become what we think about!
-"All we are is what we have thought about." ~ Buddha
-If you think about nothing, you become nothing!
-Universities tell us that we are only working on 10% of our abilities
-We MUST control our thinking! The same rule that can lead a man to a life of
success...can lead him to the gutter. Its all in how he uses it!
-All you need is purpose and faith. Don't worry. Hold your goal before you, and everything
else will take care of itself.
-Anyone who contributes to prosperity, gains prosperity.
-The architect of the universe did not build a staircase leading no where.
