The Secret of Success
In order to succeed, then, we need to do the opposite of neglect. What's that? The thesaurus indicates that the opposite, or antonym, of neglect is to look after or to care for. In other words, we need to look after the things that we have neglected.
Not many folks, percentage-wise, in the world can claim to be millionaires. Jim Rohn was a millionaire at the young age of 31. While other neglected to work at the things that would make them successful, Rohn took care of those things.
Jim took care of listening to successful people.
While his friends neglected to set goals, Jim Rohn carefully cultivated his goals.
Jim took care of his mind and attitude by reading good books.
There are enough opportunities, money, education, and jobs for everyone. There's no shortage. Don't blame you lack of success of some external factor. You know the old saying, "The buck stops here." If you're not achieving the kind of success that you want in your like, take ownership of it.
So why do we fail? Why do we live mediocre lives? Because we neglect.
We neglect to try new things. We neglect to seek mentors. We neglect to ignore the naysayers. We neglect to work. We neglect to set goals. We neglect to keep a positive attitude in the face of adversity.
Neglect will tear you down. Every time you neglect something in your life, you open your soul to decay. Eventually, you won't recognize the person you've become.
Neglect affects our spirit. We lose faith in ourselves. Our self-esteem plummets. Our attitudes become decidedly negative. People around us are affected as well. We often let these people down. We lose confidence in our abilities. In our ability to succeed.
The only way to fight neglect is to do something. Act. As the old Nike saying goes, "Just Do It." I say, "Do it now."
Start something now. Neglect no more. You have the chance to do something great with your life.
