Gathering up all the nuts
some making a new den
wanting to be prepared
while men/women kids
to the mall watch movies
playing video games
new gadgets finding
spending money on cards
wasting time on temporal
forgetting the intangible
new
year preparing /?/
unlike the beasts of field
preparing not for a new year!

Part
IV: What Successful People Know - Or Success is the Journey not the
Destination.
1.
The progressive realization of personal worthwhile predetermined goals.
(This is taken from Paul J. Meyer on the definition of success.)
2.
Acceptance of self and others. Have to feel comfortable about self.
Awareness of self and other - have courage to do what needs to be done, not
always what you want to do when self and others are involved. Winston
Churchill during WWII said, "Sometimes our best is not good enough, sometimes
we just have to do what needs to be done."
3.
Have the ability to postpone pleasure, indefinitely if necessary for the good
of all. Most of our society wants to know the rewards and live with
incentive motivation, successful people know this is a false illusion of what
life is really all about, any thing worth while requires effort to have or
achieve.
4.
Need to change self to alter things. To grow to become more than they
currently are in all the areas of their lives. This is also known as
attitude motivation.
5.
Need to have challenges to make them help them grow, which means that they need
to know who they are and where they are; requires self evaluation.
6.
They desire and seek after a variety of growth experiences, in all the areas of
their life's, thus they have tangible and intangible goals in all six areas for
personal growth.
7.
Behavior changes first from within and then from without - you change from
within first, then figure out what you have to improve on or work harder at to
change from without. We change the way we think about things first, then
we can control the way we act about things.
8.
Each has an above average interest in time utilization and make time work for
them. Because they have clearly defined, written, specific goals, they do
not have to re-act to the needs of others, but act in accordance with actual
priorities, not others peoples emergencies.
9.
They remain flexible, but also know where to remain inflexible. Flexible
to adjust to changes in conditions, inflexible in moral and ethical standards.
10.
They always control a backlog of word, manage their work according to
importance. When a successful person gets behind they reorganize to work
harder and smarter to condense their effort. They also know when and how
to delegate and when to withdraw delegation. They do not let the work
control them, rather they control the work. They break the paradigms of
normal behavior to achieve and grow beyond time and space.
Hope
this helps you in the coming week. old rusty knight
