Curiosity, excitement, faith and trust. Wow, what a powerful combination to bring (back) into our lives. "Jim Rohn"

When you Neglect Yourself...

Success is Easy, but So is Neglect  Annotated


tags: no_tag




Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life.



Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence.


As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken.


And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.




  • that was what happened - all these years of neglect... disappointment leading to neglect .. to decay.. - post by mounirra




do not neglect to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines. "Jim Rohn"


Change begins in tiny steps TODAY for that major difference in One Year, Three Years, Five Years

Walking a New Road  Annotated


tags: disillusionment




We're doing enough things to have bought and shared in the good life so far. And maybe all we need is that extra 5% or 10% of intellectual change.


Activity change. A refinement of discipline. A refinement of thought. And all we need is the ideas to make those simple changes and the equity starts gathering in one year, three years, five years, ten years.





But, here's what we don't want to engage in: disillusion. Hoping without acting. Wishing without doing.


  • been doing this for far too long!! - post by mounirra




the key is to start right now making these changes to walk this new road. And here's what's exciting to me, just a few daily disciplines makes a great deal of difference in one year, three years, five years. And before you know it, you will be walking a brand new road.
