Achieving success is not super easy, but it can be fast if you do a few things right. If you think you’re going to read about S.M.A.R.T. goals or anything remotely close to the ordinary, you’re in for a rude awakening. That’s not what this article is about. I won’t even talk about goal setting today at all. In fact, it’s downright insane to set any goals if you can do these seven things. Ready for some truth? Then here goes… 1. Shut Up! - Yes, most people who ask me how they can achieve “XYZ” goal have a problem. They don’t shut up! I’m not saying that they talk too much. What they actually do is they keep talking about “how” they are going to do this thing or the next and that they have some amazing idea for something, but at the end of the day, these same people do absolutely nothing with their goal. So, shut up and read number two. 2. Great ideas mean nothing if you don’t have this! – Do you have a big idea? If you’re like most people seeking some type of significant success in life, then chances are you do. The problem is this. Most people have ideas. Heck we all get them, but most ideas are worthless not because they are bad, not because they are not valuable, but because we ALL have tons of ideas and most of them go to waste. The truth is you have to take action on your ideas and if you have too many, spend your energy on one at a time. Ideas come and go. Ideas that last are the ones we spend focused time, energy and resources on. Think about it this way; even if all you had your entire life was one single idea that you took action on, that idea is far more valuable than fifty genius ideas that never get any focused attention. The bottom line here is pick one idea, know what you want and go do it! ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** ARTICLE: A Call For Grace - by Sharice D. Harris *** ------------------------------------------------------------ The Lack of Grace “Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others." -Thomas Jefferson Has anyone noticed that negatively directed criticism seems to be the number one divider worldwide? How many hearts actually keep their dreams a secret because they are aware that the environment they live in doesn't support cheerful optimism? Mother Teresa once said "If you judge people, you have no time to love them”. It is so easy in a second to speak hateful or hurtful words but it’s takes careful time and consideration to actually understand what someone else might be going through in their own life. It requires that we dig deeper and do the hard inner work. ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** BOOK REVIEW: Outliers: The Story of Success Paperback – by Malcolm Gladwell *** ------------------------------------------------------------ In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate. The list price of this book is $16.99.
