Refuse to let unhappy, negative people or circumstances affect you.
The greatest stumbling block you will encounter when making important
decisions in your life is circumstance. We let circumstance get us off the hook
when we should be giving it everything we’ve got. More dreams are shattered
and goals lost because of circumstance than any other single factor.
How often have you caught yourself saying, “I would like to do or have this but I
can’t because...” Whatever follows “because” is the circumstance. Circumstances
may cause a detour in your life but you should never permit them to stop
you from making important decisions. Napoleon said, “Circumstances, I make them.”
The next time you hear someone say they would like to vacation in Paris, or
purchase a particular automobile but they can’t because they have no money,
explain they don’t need the money until they make a decision to go to Paris or
purchase the car. When the decision is made, they will figure out a way to get
the amount needed. They always do.
Many misguided individuals try something once or twice and if they do not hit the bulls-eye, they feel they are a failure. Failing does not make anyone a failure, but quitting most certainly does and quitting is a decision. By following that form of reasoning, you would have to say when you make a decision to quit, you make a decision to fail.
Every day in America, you hear about a baseball player signing a contract which
will pay him a few million dollars a year. You should try to keep in mind ... that
same player misses the ball more often than he hits it when he steps up to the
plate. Everyone remembers Babe Ruth for the 714 home runs he hit and they rarely
mention that he struck out 1,330 times.
Charles F. Kettering said, and I quote, “When you’re inventing, if you flunk 999
times and succeed once, you’re in.” That is true of just about any activity you can name, but the world will soon forget your failures in light of your achievements. Don’t worry about failing, it will toughen you up and get you ready for your big win. Winning is a decision.
When a person has no vision of a better way of life, they automatically shut
themselves in a prison; they limit themselves to a life without hope. This
frequently happens when a person has seriously tried, on a number of occasions,
to win, only to meet with failure time after time. Repeated failures can damage a
person’s self-image and cause them to lose sight of their potential. They,
therefore make a decision to give up and resign themselves to their fate.
Take the first step in predicting your own prosperous future. Build a mental
picture of exactly how you would like to live. Make a firm decision to hold on to
that vision and positive ways to improve everything will begin to flow into your
mind.
