Thought for The day No.41

Those seeking Success would have read many many books and literature, attended many seminars,workshops and retreats......looking for that magic principle or recipe that has always been "hiding" from them in their quest for Success ....whatever that means to them.

"The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'

Actually most if not all the times, we know "What we should do" the problem is the 'BUT' or 'HOWEVER' word that stops or trip us up and we somehow don't do...

Another phrase which sounds quite similar is "Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people would not like to do"..........so all we have to do is find out what it is and just do it!

Is it making that phone call to a customer we fear, dislike or doubt?
Or making that report asap which we should do but......(the thousand reasons that justify not doing?)
Or providing comfort and helping another colleague who is drowning in work or lost and helpless?
Or admitting our mistakes and remove the pressures of guilt, resentment or feelings of unfair treatment so we can move on forward with clarity and confidence........

Whatver it may be, you know what it is......something we do not like to do but deep inside us we know we should do!

So if you want to travel on the Highway of Success without those mental and emotional roadblocks .....follow the immortal words of Thomas Huxley - DO WHAT YOU SHOULD DO, WHEN YOU SHOULD DO IT, WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT"

HAPPY JOURNEY!

  1. "Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people would not like to do"
    Do you mean that we have to force our self to do the unwilling thing to get success?

  2. Yes, after ensuring the"unwilling thing" is relevant to helping you become successful - and only you know that in your heart
