Winners' mindset

Never Quit, Persistence Is The Way

Persistence attracts opportunity, with those three words, I begin this article. Sure, when you are exasperated, early quitting always sounds good, especially when it all gets "bloody" or hard. When you are tired, some of the greatest successes come after the next wind. I will not say "second wind", because it sometimes takes multiple streams of persistence to succeed, and not any streams of persistence, and just one try without trying again to genuinely fail.

The greatest quitter in the world is never known, because all quitters quit before they succeed or "make it". Rest assured, though, the greatest successes in the world are the ultimate seeming "failures in the beginning". From Gautama Buddha who spent seventy years "going crazy" trying to figure it all out from suffering in the world itself to the "biggest why things in the world" under the Bodhi Tree, to Jesus Christ who "ended" his ministry with assassination by Crucifixion, only to come back in an even better form ultimately, and have one of the greatest mass ministries on Earth bigger than anything else going on Earth. So, what is the greatest persistence in the world? It is one of us if we do not genuinely quit too early.

The only thing that separated Alexander Graham Bell and the rest of the inventors of the telephone, was this, persistence and a simple turn of a screw connecting a wire, also an understanding of vibration and consistency that matched nothing else going. Alexander Graham Bell understood vibration and consistency (knowing it would take a constant and not intermittent current to transmit speech over electrical wires), although it seemed simple, that turn of the screw was the difference between intermittent inconsistency and consistently and productively working, and what stemmed from all of this to full fruition?: Oh, just cell phones, every communication medium on the planet including radio and wireless gadgets like that we use every day. Even though Lewis Latimer really invented, drew and patented the light bulb, and not Edison technically, I genuinely give credit where credit is due and warranted, whatever the realistic consequences. This is what separates Christianity from the other religions in a sense when Jesus Christ said the simply logical statement: "Render unto Caesar what is the property of Caesar, and render unto God genuinely what is the property of God." in the New Testament Biblical Books of Matthew and Mark.

My point and synopsis is as follows, then I will end this article: To live in reality whatever the consequences is success. To follow through with a genuine path is success in every way. That is the synopsis. Success is guts, persistence and genuinely good work and little else. That is the point, take what you need from that, and make it work for you. Thank you for reading.

After This You'll Change How You Do Everything! (by Tony Robbins)

Today's entry is an important lesson from the great personal development guru Tony Robbins. The main conclusion: decide to live in a beautiful state.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Rules of Success

Today we become inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his thoughts about success. He ennumerates 8 rules, which I proceed to comment: 

1) Have goals, purpose, and visions.
There's no way you can have success if you don't know where you are going. Define a specific plan and timelines when to fulfill the milestones which will push you towards your goal. 

2) Don't listen to the naysayers or doubters. 
Many will surely discourage you to keep pushing, mainly because they are aimless or had bad experiences. That does not mean that you have to fail, they might not have tried hard enough or simply lacked experience. Believe in yourself and you'll find your path to success.

3) Work your ass off and advertise. 
There's the English saying: "There is no such thing as a free lunch". Success and good results don't fall from heaven, so apart from the right mindset you need to work hard so that you deliver good products or services. No pain, no gain. Then let the world know about you, they will not come to you if they don't even know you exist.

4) Don't have a backup plan. We function better if there is no safety net. 
Having a Plan B is a way for us to pretend to leave our comfort zone but not doing it actually. If you know there's a way out should you fail to accomplish your purpose, you won't take it seriously and either procrastinate or deprioritize your tasks. You've got to put yourself through pain so that you really do whatever it takes. 

5) Never doubt yourself.
Believe in yourself! Your faith must remain alive so that you don't fall apart whenever setbacks turn up.

6) Everyone fails, but losers stay down. 
Even winners fail, and you have to because it is part of the process and you'll learn from your mistakes. Just don't be afraid of making mistakes, get up and try again.

7) Being relaxed and giving it everything we have is the best way to perform. 
Stress surely does not help us to achieve our goals, so relaxation together with self-confidence and doing our best are the way to go.

8) Help out others and give back to the world.
You become a better version of yourself when you transform into a better person. I believe successful people are doing good because they appreciate what they have and are willing to give back to the universe. The universe will give you back in return.
