Freedom is sacred; freedom is not free.
Freedom requires sacrifice. Sacrifice results in the production of sacred
things!
1.
Stop whining. Winners get better and whiners get bitter. Winners
never quit and quitters never win because they whine about their own lack of
courage. Have the courage to overcome your obstacles. Is there anything worse than
seeing a healthy person whining, complaining, and criticizing? Why don’t they
dump their garbage on their own backyard? Whiners make problems bigger and are very
good at creating new problems too. Recognize whiners and run from them. Run, run, run!.
2.
Get on the
road. Pain and rejection come to those
on the road to greatness. The road to success is paved with rejection and
obstacles. The road to failure is full of disguised excuses. Accept rejection
as part of learning on how to deal with challenges. The future belongs to the
brave not the whiners!
3.
No pain no
gain. Pain is the key factor to dignity,
humility, and creativity. There is no growth without pain. Endure the pain and
little by little you will be enduring a level of pain others will never be able
to withstand. One of the biggest problems with people is their lack of accurate
self-evaluation. Self-deception and leadership never go together!
4.
Freedom is sacred. At the moment we settle for security we stop pursuing
excellence and give up freedom. Never chase security; chase freedom instead. How
good is it to squander your time in the pursuit of lesser things? Be encouraged
and you will overcome. Be known for your bravery. The world is begging for
freedom fighters!
5.
Leverage your
strengths. We can all grow out of our
sense of inferiority. We all feel inferior at something. Focus on expanding
your strengths first and then deal with your weaknesses. It is impossible to
erase our old programing. Create new pathways in your brain with the right
programing. Store new programs on top of
the old ones! Be bright, be bold, and be brave!
6.
Be productive. Imagine our productivity if we do our work with the
same zest we do our favorite hobby? So why don’t you? Are you following the
mediocre majority? Over half of the employees just go through their daily
grind. They are not fully engaged in their daily drudgery. Chase your dreams
and the zest for life will show up!
7.
Think BIG. The size of your achievements will eventually catch
up to the size of your dreams. Are your dreams bigger than your obstacles and circumstances?
Make your dreams bigger than your obstacles so you never lose sight of your
dreams. Never let excuses sneak in and steal your dreams. Dream wide, dream
deep, and dream big!
Will you join my cause to fight
mediocrity in America? Pass these nuggets on to others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
