The Soul's Mirror: Reflections On The Fullness Of Life
Within each of us is planted the seed of greatness. It is a potential that is worth more than the jackpot that you might win from a slot machine. Sadly, many people are more willing to try their luck in a gambling casino rather than to take a chance on themselves. Three barriers that can stop us from taking a chance and creating our winning opportunities are: Fear, Comfort and Indifference. When you are down to your last dollar, count on hope, and do not let indifference rob you from taking one more chance.
How do you reach the peak of your performance? In a word-
• through excellence. Okay, two words. Unless excellence is the standard under which you begin a task, it cannot be a characteristic of the results. Excellence is not a goal; it is the process of getting to the goal. Here is what you must do to make excellence your competitive edge: Excel. To excel, you must use your present performance as the measuring point and commit to do better tomorrow. Extend. Your capacity to extend is determined by your responses to the forces of comfort, competition, challenge, and change. Endure. You will not endure the defeat of despair, discouragement, or disappointment without a commitment to forward motion whatever it takes. Enjoy. You cannot give your best to what you are doing if you do not enjoy what you are doing.
A Personal Paradigm: Our external environment is constantly changing, and we change along with it. It is sudden and/or dramatic change that throws us off into a resistance mode. The attributes of the person who can cope with change are: Character. The ability to approach change from the inside out; Attitude. Looking at change as an opportunity instead of a challenge; Vision. The ability to keep in mind a clear picture of the desired results; Adaptability. Flexible enough to make adjustments to changed circumstances; Excellence. Setting and holding a standard of excellence in all situations; Rejuvenescence. The ability to maintain mental sharpness and regain youthful enthusiasm.
Seldom, if ever, is the road to success described as a downhill coasting to the warm sands of a sunny beach. Success is frequently depicted atop a rugged mountain. The climb to success is steep, hard and treacherous. To get you to the top despite the challenges that you will inevitably encounter: D-Desire will ignite DRIVE. R-Resolve will keep you on course. I-Initiative will accelerate your journey. V-Vision will enable you to avoid barriers. E-Endurance will insure your safe arrival. You must persist until the DRIVE to success is finished.
If you expect less than ordinary from an individual, you will consider such person to be "extraordinary" when he or she performs beyond your expectation. A person is not extraordinary because he or she, despite a disability or other disadvantage, can surpass a substandard expectation. The "EXTRA" of an extraordinary individual is found in his or her capacity to do the following: EX-Excel in performance. T-Take responsibility. R-Revise the approach. A-Ask for help.
