64. Understand Courage
In: Bisnis|Niat|Opini|Pengembangan Diri|Problem Solving|Tips|Umum
6 Apr 2010There is a difference between physical and moral courage. If you earn a black belt in karate, you may be called upon to be physically courageous but such events will be extraordinary. Even police officers, firemen and military personnel may only have to be physically courageous a few times in their careers.
Moral courage is needed more often than physical courage. Moral courage may mean the challenge to stay with a belief when your position may not be the most popular. Moral courage can be standing tall against bigotry, prejudice, unfairness, and bullying behavior. Moral courage is a challenge to do what is right, regardless of the personal consequences. Moral courage may ask you to forgive.
Think of people in physical pain or mental anguish. You may see courage being lived every day.
Rarely will you find a perfectly smooth straight road to financial success. More likely, the road will be curved, with plenty of pot holes and boulders to avoid. You will be delayed. Your faith may be tested.
With the best of intentions, you will risk and fail. Many around you will be quick to say, “I told you so.”
It will be perfectly natural for you to second guess your own decisions? Did you do the right thing by choosing the more difficult path? It would have been so much easier just to have just stayed at home. No one expects you to be more than you expect for yourself.
When you hit a wall, it will be easy to quit, as most do. It will take courage to be a contrarian, to carry on and persist. You may try again and still meet defeat. Now, you may feel crazy to keep going. If you are making the same mistakes again, you are crazy. However, if you are learning from your mistakes, then, with courage, you will become a seasoned veteran and your persistence will pay off.
Have, courage, face your fears and do it.

63. Focus on Your Strengths
5 Apr 2010Rely on your strengths. To know your strengths, you must first acknowledge and then compensate for your weaknesses. Ask your friends and mentors: What am I good at? In what areas should I improve? What do you do better than most people? Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or help and don’t be afraid to listen to the answers. Reflect and learn. Knowing yourself allows you to plan your days for peak performance.
In business, solicit comments on your products and services. Customer and employee compliments and complaints are important tools to improve efficiency. Who knows you better?
Accept your limitations. Accept your circumstances.
Following The Action Principles®, you should have more than enough of everything to succeed. Be the best you can be on the inside, and your beauty and confidence will be reflected on the outside.
You are not some little grey man hiding at a desk in the corner trying to avoid notice and additional work.
Your strength is that you know what you want to accomplish. You are the person who will stand for what is right. You are consistent. Others know what to expect of you. You have goals and objectives. You have a personal mission to complete. You are determined to make your one life meaningful.
Your strength is that you are willing to learn. You will find the leaders and in your industry and you will listen to them. You will read books related to your industry, surf websites and will participate in trade-related blogs.
Your strength is that you are an ambitious, hard worker who will concentrate on the difficult aspects of your job and who will, when necessary, volunteer
Your strength is that you are not greedy. You don’t grab more than you need. You are able to step back. You will share.
Focus on these strengths. They put you among the elite.
