I once read what a great German runemaster said; “People’s lives are wasted as idle chatter…”
I swore that wouldn’t happen to me. I knew that I wanted to do something, be something, learn something for my children and grandchildren.
So I started writing. I started when my daughter was little, writing 40 children’s fairy tales that were never published. But this didn’t matter as there were many in my family and friends families who enjoyed them. I consider myself a success even if I don’t have the talent of Rudyard Kipling or the millions of Stephen King.
I wanted to be a writer and I AM. Now I write blogs and articles and post them on the net. I am happy with my success.
Throughout my journey, I have found many books and quotes and sayings within these books, which have inspired me to keep going. I will share them with you.
Whatever you wish to do successfully, I will help you. It may not make you rich and famous (although it may), but it will give you the deep sense of satisfaction that you have managed to do what you aspired to do. No promises, no guarantees, just a simple conversation between two friends, you and me.
In order to be successful writing, painting, teaching, playing a musical instrument, singing, decorating, or simply better ordering your life, you must start with YOURSELF. The only way you can be successful on the outside is to be successful in controlling your inside.
The new Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that thoughts are things. Whatever we think or feel comes back to us.
Thoreau said, “What you are, talk so loud I can’t hear what you’re saying.”
We all carry so much dead and useless wood inside our minds and emotions that it makes succeeding, whatever we want to succeed at, difficult.
We need to clear the house of this ‘dead wood’ and the best way to do this is by replacing it with good ‘living’ thoughts.
I’ll share some of these thoughts with you as we go along.
Sister Kenny, many years ago said: “…….He who angers you, CONQUERS you…”
I remember when I was boxing in the army, about anger. Every time I had a particularly difficult opponent, that he kept hitting me and I couldn’t hit…well, the angrier I got, the more he beat me! When I was in control of myself and my emotions, I fought 100% better.
Winston Churchill once said: “…Just because you have to kill a man in wartime, doesn’t mean you have to be angry about it…”
Let’s work inside and see our exterior flourish. What we think and feel about ourselves is very important. Many times, because we live in such a crowded world, we pick up many thoughts and feelings that do not originate within us. It is called the Law of Resonant Frequencies. We need to counter or neutralize them with other, better thoughts and feelings.
Are you feeling depressed or in a “poor me” mood? Eliminate it by thinking “… A poor man was sad because he had no shoes, until he chanced upon a man who had NO feet…”
To be successful at anything, we must first be successful with our own thoughts and moods.
We have tools to help us with this. The sayings and proverbs of successful men and women of the past are valuable. We can remember them every time we waver from our goals and purposes in life.
Good books and sayings are like spiritual and mental transfusions and we must always have them close.
Emerson wrote: “…Wise men do not know many things, but they do know useful things…”
We can use the useful things we know to create the success we want.
You really don’t need to know a lot of things to be successful if you know the few things that are important. I will share them with you in the next article.
