2. I am almost sure you have heard the story about the tortoise and the hare
who competed in a race and the tortoise was slow and steady and the hare
was fast, but the hare underestimated the tortoise.
3. So, the race began and the hare quickly got ahead of the tortoise. So far ahead
(or so he thought), he decided to take a nap and while he was sleeping the
tortoise kept going although, slowly, he continued steady and consistent.
4. When the hare awoke from his nap, he found that his competitor hit the
finish line before he did. Are you sleeping on your success like the hare?
Are you thinking that you can procrastinate on your vision
and wake up to the vision that you desire?
5. It matters not so much your speed as it
does your consistency and willingness
to finish the race. Many people focus so
much on the competition, like the hare,
instead of completing the race.
6. In your life, consistency and persistence (like the tortoise) is more important
than the speed. One thing about the tortoise that worked to his advantage,
was the fact that he didn't concern himself with the competition.
He focused more so on finishing the race at his speed.
7. He didn't focus on the hare and how fast he was. He wasn't intimidated at all.
I believe the tortoise was confident and sure of his talent. He was sure in
his ability to finish the race and he DID! So, learning from this tale.
8. Options in a situation are ways open to us with which we can obtain
desired solution. The option to take a chance, the option to keep
fighting our way through, the determined option to seek out a
solution and the option to give-up are all within our decision.
9. You have to be choosy about how
you spend your time - you are the
only one in your business trying
to do all the tasks therefore don't
spend time doing tasks that won't
help you achieve your goals.
10. Work out the tasks that you can learn to do easily - know your skills. Use
these and outsource everything else. If something doesn't work then
don't spend hours trying to find out why - get some help!!!
11. The actual truth is that you don't have to depend only on yourself to win life's
battles. There are forces that either assist your weakness to help you up
or leave you all alone to your little self.
12. Break tasks down into smaller ones which you know you can achieve in the
time set. Work to a focused time limit. Use your time wisely and work out
the most productive way that you can use that time to achieve a set task.
13. Keeping it clear to put your
goals into action and you will
never want to give up on your
dreams. Keep remembering
your reasons why.
14. Convince yourself - that is your mind,
there is already a solution before the
situation, waiting to be located. Just
search for it, you will find it!
15. Don't be too consumed by the events that you overlook the whole
learning experience. Find a strategy to do things differently. You may
not succeed after a few attempts but never give up until you succeed.
16. At times, the benefit comes
from learning something
that will help you avoid
similar mistakes. Be eager
to learn every time you fail.
17. Anyone can resolve to make great changes, it is only the determined,
strong character that puts the resolve into execution. Determining
what went wrong in a situation has value.
Next time when you feel knocked down
about your failure, rather than looking
at failure as a stumbling block, see it
as a stepping stone to success.
18. You cannot control every circumstance in life, but you can learn to make the
best of any situation. Change your respond to failure by accepting personal
responsibility. Have a positive and never say die attitude.
If you are willing to stay determined, and
keep getting up each time you hit rock
bottom, you will be able to increase
your opportunity for success!
19. Many ventures fail not because they
were not great ideas or didn't have
the potential to succeed but because
people gave up on their dreams.
"They let that voice that
sits on their shoulder
get louder and louder."
20. You know the one with all the negative thoughts? Well you have to learn to
quieten that voice till it shuts up. When it shuts up you know that you will
succeed. Here's to your success - remember to never never give up!!!
21. At the end of the day, it's not how many times you have failed that is important,
but how you are going to deal with them. You were born with many God's given
gifts, talents and abilities, and today is a wonderful day to realize
your own greatness by not giving up.
STAY IN THE RACE! DON'T
GIVE UP! YOU HAVE COME
TOO FAR TO STOP NOW!!!
