Excellence Is A Habit
Thursday, January 7th, 2010Dear Friends:
It’s hard to believe, but another year… a new decade has just rolled in front of our eyes — 2010. Where did the time fly?
As part of my new year’s resolutions, I’ve been working on my inner growth. Just as the bamboo plant must be watered for seven years before it finally sprouts up and becomes a glorious wonder, so too must I work on my inner self to grow. It’s not always easy. But consistency is the key.
I’ve been re-listening to the wisdom of my esteemed teleseminarian teacher, Alex Mandossian (www.profitableteleseminars.com). I admire Alex’s talent so much. Alex reads and re-reads regularly, and even said that you need to re-read to get the most from each book. Alex regularly quotes from the great sages, and I appreciate this quote by Aristotle… ”We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, the, is not an act, but a habit.”
That quote has been ruminating inside my mind for awhile. To attain excellence, I’ve also been doing a fair share of reading. I’ve especially enjoyed learning from some of today’s great leaders — Loral Langemeier (”The Millionaire Maker”), Esther & Jerry Hicks (”Ask and It Is Given”), Karim Ismail (”Keep Any Promise”) and Steve Taubman (”Unhypnosis”), along with many “classics” like Napolean Hill’s “Think & Grow Rich” and Wallace Wattles’, “The Science Of Getting Rich.”
Repeating daily affirmations is also a great tip to help implant a positive mindset every day. Happiness, as I’ve learned, is a choice. We choose our thoughts, and that’s what becomes our emotional state.
So, I’m going to keep focused on choosing positive thoughts. ”Every day, in every way, I’m growing stronger… My life is filled with abundance…. I’m grateful for the blessings that fill my life.”
Happy 2010!
