Lack of Courage
Successful
people are not looking for miracles or easy tasks. They seek courage and
strength to overcome obstacles. They look at what is left rather than what is
lost. Wishes don't come true; beliefs and expectations supported by conviction
do. Prayers are only answered when they are supported with courageous action.
It is courage and character that is the deadly combination for success. This is
the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
When our minds are
filled with courage we forget our fears and overcome obstacles. Courage is not
absence of fear but the overcoming of fear. Character (justice and integrity)
without courage is ineffective, whereas courage without character is
oppression.
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Success is like baking a cake. Unless you have
just the right recipe, it is not going to work. The ingredients must be of the
finest quality and in the right proportions. You can't overtake it or undercook
it. Once you have the right recipe and with practice and the occasional
disaster, it becomes a lot easier. What is the difference between persistence
and obstinacy? The difference is that persistence represents a strong will and
obstinacy represents a strong won't.
You have the recipe. To use it is your
choice.
A CRASH COURSE FOR SUCCESS
- Play to win and not to lose.
- Learn from other people's mistakes.
- Associate with people of high moral character.
- Give more than you get.
- Don't look for something for nothing.
- Always think long term.
- Evaluate your strengths and build on them.
- Always keep the larger picture in mind when making a decision.
- Never compromise your integrity.
