A story of Personal Growth and The Facts of Life

A long long time ago, way before the creation of skyscrapers and airplanes, three young brothers yearned and dreamed to reach the clouds.

The oldest brother was determined to be the first to reach the clouds. So he gathered up all his money, found the local wise man and said “Here is all that I own, please tell me how I can reach the clouds.”

The wise man took the man’s money and said… “Build a giant sand castle, bigger than any man has ever seen… and you will surely reach the clouds.”

Winners never quit and quitters never win

In Personal Development as in life true success can only be achieved by not accepting mediocrity, we should always motivate and stretch ourselves to achieve and to get the most out of life that we possibly can. It’s only if when force ourselves and commit everything that we’ve got can we then allow ourselves a pat on the back for a task well done.

Success in life depends on many things including self-discipline and not buckling under at the first challenge we come across or entering a project only half heartedly, by pushing oneself and stretching that little bit more you will be astonished at what you are able to accomplish. This is what separates the winners from the losers, the successful from the unsuccessful. Winners never quit and quitters never win

We all start out with the best of intentions when racing towards the goals we have set, we shoot out of the starting gate and run down the straight but many of us fall back at the first hurdle, we don’t push, we run out of steam when the going gets tough and don’t pause to catch our second wind but come to a halt and give up, or stumble on half heartedly and cross the line in second or third place at best.

A lot of people say that they want to succeed in their life and are motivated but very few are really willing to actually push themselves them that bit further so as to achieve their goals, and this is why some succeed in life and many others fail. Your success is all about how big your “why” is, why you want the success, what success means to you. Are you willing to succeed a little, or are you willing to go the whole way and beyond to achieve the higher status of a winner and be outstanding?

Fear ?

On my personal development journey I can across this which I would like to share with you.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

By success I mean any success, any small victory or achievement

We all need to celebrate our success even if they start out as is small victories.

Remember this.

Have you considered this Rule of Life

Gung Hay Fat Chow

Here is a special message from me to you.

watercoloursfmr asked:

In a self help group I attended 2 times this week, people moan and groan about their situation unable to help themselves.Even after 10 years in the group they are still doing the same behaviour and wondering why.
I have heard of Gambler’s Anonymous and Alcoholic Anonymous etc. do they really help or are they just social place for fellowship with the same problem?
My problem is my feelings of low self esteem due to my family situation which is ….Father passed away 3 years aggo, Mother had dementia, brother is Handcapped with Down’s Syndrome and I am responsible for everyone ,yet no one is responsible for me. Should I get a boyfriend and that will help my situation????
I am an attractive ,professional person with a University degree and what I consider a good lifestyle…clean , honest , responsible yet I feel my background is not good compared to other families and I am not successful .
Should I try out the self help group some more ???What do other people do ???
