How would you describe your life ? are you achieving what you desire ? Are you accomplishing the things that are important to you? do you consider yourself a success? How do your prospects look for the future?
if i could come to your house and spend just one day with you, I would be able to to tell whether or not you will be successful. You could pick the day. If i got up with you in the morning and went through the day with you, watching you for twenty-four hours, i could tell in what direction your life is headed.
when i tell this to people at conferences, there's always a strong reaction. some people are surprised. some get defensive because they think my claim sounds arrogant. others are simply intrigued and desire to know why i make such a statement.
the answer lies in the fact that secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. If you make a few key decisions and then manage them well in your daily agenda, you will succeed.
you will never change your life until you change some-thing you do daily. You see, success doesn't just suddenly occur one day in someones life., for that matter, neither does failure. Each is a process. Everyday of your life is merely preparation for the next. what you become is the result of what you do today. in other words ...you are preparing for something. the way you live your life today is preparing you for your tomorrow. the question is what are you preparing for? are you grooming yourself for success or failure? As my father use to tell me when i was growing up, "you can pay now and play later" or you can " play now and pay later". but either way, your are going to pay" the idea was that you play and take it easy and and do what you want today, but if you do, your life would be harder later. however, if you work hard now, on the front end then you will reap rewards in the future
Time is an equal opportunity employer, but how we treat time is not equal. time is like a block of marble. Give a block of marble to an average man, and you will end up with... a tor, and watch what happens! the sculptor looks at it with an artist eye. first, he makes decisions on what it will be. then he practices the disciplines of his craft until he has transformed lifeless stone into a master-piece. i =believe you and i can be like the sculptor. We can learn to become master craftsman, not of stone but of our lives.
