Success Comes From This

Success Comes From This

This is nothing more than an encouragement to always improve.

Because improvement is the preamble to success.

– What can I learn and grow wiser with?
– How can I get stronger and be more independent?
– What additional commitments would help?
– What am I basing my life upon?
– What can I create?

– How can I help others?

“Success comes from continually expanding your frontiers in every direction—creatively, financially, spiritually, and physically. Always ask yourself, what can I improve? Who else can I talk to? Where else can I look?”

-James Altucher, Choose Yourself (Amazon)

This Is Why Commitment Works

This Is Why Commitment Works

Can anything be achieved before you get it into your mind to do so?

I am doubtful about this.

Anything can succeed or fail – but what is not committed to first – never even has a chance of success.

  • What business proves to be successful, before the owner swears to beat down everything that stands against it?
  • What marriage lasts, where there is a doubt of commitment in the beginning?
  • What parent shines that has not sworn devotion and love, no matter the circumstance?
  • What book gets written, before there is a line drawn to finish it?
  • What blog lasts, that is done halfheartedly?
Maybe nothing is accomplished without an internal commitment.

If you want something, anything, first you must commit yourself to it.

There is a poem by W. N. Murray, of the Scottish Himalayan expedition, that says: “That the moment that one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”

-Jack Schwager, Market Wizards (Amazon)
