AN UNDISPUTED TRUTH

There is plenty evidence that words alone cannot satisfy.  We may hear the words "I love you" uttered a thousand times, but without the affection to follow these words are hollow.  In like manner, when a promise isn't fulfilled the word "promise" is as empty as the persons intention to fulfill their obligation.  Everyday we read or see something new, but by the time our head hits the pillow that something has been long forgotten.

On our quest to obtain success there are many things we must learn and change about ourselves. Without change we will remain just an arms react away from our goals.  In deed, in order to obtain our ultimate goals in life we must have a plan of action.  First, decide what is your desired outcome. Then, begin to formulate a list of actions that can be taken to bring your desired outcome closer.  Of course, the starting point of action will be from your current state.  You can't say "I'm going to do this when I get the money."  That wouldn't work because your plan is dependent upon whether you get the money or not. Use your imagination to develop actions you can take with what you have now.

Words alone simply cannot satisfy.  Reading is vital to success.  That is, reading which involves educating yourself on obtaining your goal.  Here is the place where many miss the mark.  They believe once they've read a book they have the answers and are proud of themselves.  They never take the next step in transforming that knowledge into intelligent action.  I believe the reason for this is simply the fear of doing terrible the first time we try, and we relate embarrassment to these first attempts.  Once pain is associated to trying, our mind begins to devise reasoning for avoidance.

Like anything you set out to become great at, it takes time to build.  You must love the challenge this brings.  Love when you hit another dead end and must figure out how to get around it.  Love the moment you find yourself stuck and can't figure it out, because in this struggle you'll discover new ideas.  When testing your plan of action, it will become necessary to change it when you find that a particular way doesn't work. This is great! It's great because a new opportunity is presented to try a new idea.  Once you've made this a habit, you'll discover much about yourself and your abilities you didn't know you had.  Make this a habit and you'll grow far greater in proportion to those around you.

Make it a habit to learn something new in your field of endeavor everyday.  Then take that knowledge and put it into practice by adding it to your plan of action.  Challenge this new found knowledge to see if it holds up in real life.  There are many smart with knowledge, but the doer is the one who takes home the prize.

A BLIND ADVERSARY

A well known adversary goes unnoticed everyday of our lives.  We carry on as though it doesn't linger by our side.  We prefer ignorance above having any dealings with it, as if it would just fade away.  Unfortunately, it affects every aspect of our lives, blinds our vision, clouds our mind, aggravates our temperament, and places snares before our feet.

This universal adversary is called "Self."  It is the most harmful opponent of all others.  While we can clearly see the faults in the decisions of others, that's hardly the case when looking in the mirror.  It seems that the reflections of the shiny surfaces of our bad decisions blind us.  We walk around with the heavy chains of hypocrisy and wonder why we're weighed down.  Perhaps, it's from the piercing noise of these chains scraping against the face of our destiny that dull our ears to correction.

Many, who are in search for success, read motivational books, books on success and changing our habits.  There is one undisputed truth that laces the ground work of every Philosophy.  Without understanding this truth you'll be trapped in the reigns of defeat... and not know why?  An awful remanence is left from the dark presence of Confusion.  One that does not lift away quickly.  This truth is the willingness to accept you've been wrong your entire life, in everything.  From the way you perceive life, to every unconscious choice you made as a young adult.  It is the willingness to accept that everything you thought was right... is actually wrong.

It is only in the acceptance in this truth that you'll ever find yourself.  Your life right now is the sum total of every thought you've ever had.  You forged yourself from the life changing decisions you made based on these thoughts.  Once a decision was reached these thoughts became your truth.  A truth you developed roughly around the age of 10 to 12 years old.  In retrospect, do you honestly believe a 10 to 12 year old has formed an accurate assessment of life? I don't believe so either.  Sadly, this truth is engraved into the flesh of the heart and is rarely changed in any one persons lifetime.

Find this willingness in your heart.  Then, once you've torn down the fabricated walls that have protected you all these years, embark on the journey to see life with new and fresh sight.  It is beautifully refreshing!
