Develop Your Special Talent 20 months ago

You were born with a special talent. It may be to sing, write, teach, paint, mentor, preach, defend or befriend. You have something special to offer the world, something you can do better than 10,000 others. You must keep learning and trying new things to find your special talent. The world needs your gift. Be aware that even a special talent can go stale if you don’t keep using and honing it. Endeavor to keep your talents and all your skills up to date.
An advantage isn’t an advantage unless you use it. Find ways to use your advantages to set and reach your goals. Likewise, you should recognize and then try to minimize the impact of your limitations. Remember that not all advantages are transferable. Just because you are talented in one area doesn’t mean that you will be talented at everything you try. The successful real estate investor can easily lose her money opening a restaurant. Stick to your advantages and don’t stray from them without reasoned justification.



Be prudent 22 months ago

Just because you deserve victory doesn’t mean that you will win every fight, game or argument. Someone else may have the tactical advantage. Have the self-confidence to know when not to fight. Perhaps the smartest course of action is to retreat and reflect upon your options. Can you return to the challenge on another day better equipped, more experienced and stronger?
The non-action of the wise man is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The heart of the wise man is tranquil. It is the mirror of heaven and earth … emptiness, stillness and tranquility. Wise men don’t fight each other.

Demonstrate your love 2 years ago

From the Bible, we learn that love is patient and kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. It is responsibility and a willingness to work out problems.
Love is too wonderful and too powerful to be kept bottled up. Let it out with your smiles, your voice, your manner, your enthusiasm and your continuing acts of kindness. For love, you can risk being vulnerable.
When you find love, cherish and safeguard it. A loving marriage and family is worth all your efforts.

Practice Forgiveness 2 years ago

Anger, hatred, bitterness, resentments and thoughts of revenge are heavy weights that slow a person down. Allowed to fester, these negative feelings can consume increasingly larger portions of your life. Liberate yourself. Let it go. The forgiving person is always stronger. Be like the rock in the stream and let the thoughts of revenge flow by you.
As a person of action, improving yourself and helping others, you will make lots of mistakes. You will do foolish things. Learn the lesson.
You practice forgiveness for yourself. Consider those whom you may have offended or injured and ask for their forgiveness. Can you say, “I’m sorry and I apologize if I offended you.”? If you ask and your request is rejected, you have lightened your burden in trying. Continue to encourage efforts at reconciliation.

Show Loyalty 2 years ago

Be a stand-up person. You stand for your family, country and friends. When and if trouble comes, let others have no doubt that they can count on you for help and support. Your commitments don’t waver with the moods of the moment. You don’t hesitate to act.
At work, you build customer loyalty by concentrating on service with an attitude clear to everyone that customer retention is very important to you. You don’t run a business solely dependent on finding new customers.
You are consistent, devoted, faithful and true. You stand for your beliefs and values. You aren’t afraid to pledge allegiance to what is right. This is loyalty.

Become Grateful 2 years ago

Life isn’t exactly the way you want it to be. You will have your ups and downs and crosses to bear. You will have opportunities to practice holding your tongue and exercising patience. Yet, because you are focused on the larger picture, you will be able to keep everyday events in perspective.
Be grateful for all you have. Acknowledge and accept compliments. In the larger scheme of things, you may wish to be grateful for good health, a supportive spouse, a rewarding profession, obedient, healthy children, conscientious employees, prosperity, religious faith, loyal friends and even winning sports teams. You add and choose. Why not write letters to people in your life who have made a difference and thank them? You will both feel good.
When you can look forward and be thankful, you can help others do the same. Hold the burning candle from which others can light their candles.
Embrace gratitude.

Develop your sense of humor 2 years ago

In all areas of life, a quick wit, a hearty laugh, a smile and a warm sense of humor are appreciated. To be a good joke teller, tell jokes often. Practice. Model your delivery after comedians you admire and funny friends. Start a joke file.
Always be absolutely sure that your material is clean and non-offensive. Stick to a universally funny subject — you. Most of the best humor is self-deprecating. That is, you have to learn to laugh at yourself. On your road to success, there will be many stumbles and fumbles, providing many opportunities for you to turn the unexpected into stress-reducing laughter. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Laugh about it. Be affable. Humor will add to your attractiveness. Success Principles



Appreciate your appeal 3 years ago

Following the Action Principles makes you an appealing, charismatic person. Students will want to learn from you, bosses to promote you, banks to lend you money and customers to buy your products or services.
Your allure will be your genuine selflessness in wanting to help them to achieve their objective, whether it is to become a black belt or buy a car. By not trying to be a salesperson, but a true customer service person, you will make more sales. Charisma isn’t painted on the outside. It comes from the inside. Be honest. Be yourself. Adopt this attitude and you will be liked by many — immediately.



Act as you feel... 3 years ago

When you feel in the mood to do something, this is the best time to do it.

If you feel happy, smile.

If you feel daring, act.

If you receive good service, compliment.

If you feel energetic, do something positive.

If you know a good joke, tell it.

If you feel generous, give.

If you are interested in becoming wealthy, save and invest.

If someone needs help, lend them your strong hands or soft voice.

If you give your word, keep it.

If you want to make things better, vote.

Maintain your presence 3 years ago

Your contented presence shows an air of simple elegance and refinement in attitude and form. You appear physically, emotionally and spiritually strong, yet you seem to have even greater strength in reserve. You are poised, coordinated and balanced. You command with effortless, assured confidence. Be calm. Be deliberate. Feel assured and alert. Look good. Feel good. Keep your head up and your shoulders back. Keep your eyes forward. Breathe deeply. Speak with a soft voice in a thoughtful manner. Rarely interrupt. Be brief. Walk with a purpose. Don’t rush. Have a firm handshake. Your eyes are friendly. Your demeanor is respectful. Let your smile begin in your mind. You exhibit both style and class. First impressions are lasting.
The things you want drawn to you will come as a result of your good nature and determined persistence. Pause and savor the moment. Begin your work.
