What your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve!” 7. “No man has a chance to enjoy permanent succe...

 PLAN YOUR LIFE, LIVE YOUR PLAN. I’ve observed that most people try to plan their lives one day at a time. They wake up, make up their to-do list, and dive into action (although some people aren’t even that strategic). Fewer individuals plan their lives one week at a time. They review their calendar for the week, check their appointments, review their goals, and then get to work. They generally outachieve most of their daily-planning colleagues.  I try to take planning one step further. At the beginning of every month, I spend half a day working on my calendar for the next forty days.  Forty days works for me rather than just thirty. That way, I get a jump on the next month and don’t get surprised. I begin by reviewing my travel schedule and planning activities with my family.  Then I review what projects, lessons, and other objectives I want to accomplish during those five to six weeks. Then I start blocking out days and times for thinking, writing, working, meeting...

  6  Powerful  Lessons  From  GRIT: The Power of Passion and Perseverance 1. Grit is a better measurement for success than talent You can have all the skills in the world, but if you don’t know how to apply them and survive the long haul, you’ll most likely never succeed.  Talent gives us potential, but whether we use it is another thing. 2. High performance comes from mundane acts Don’t disregard all the little acts you do every day They are more important than you think and they add up over time. These little acts will make you extraordinary. 3. Grit is about stamina not intensity No matter how hard we work for twenty-four hours, if we don't repeat the process regularly, then we will never attain success. 4.

It's our impact on others that often fuels our purpose People who have grit can find purpose outs...

  FREDERICK DOUGLAS  When Frederick Douglas stood on the train that would take him to freedom, he was not sure he would get to the Northern parts of the United States. He was afraid. He was uncertain. There was no guarantee. Worse, he didn't know anyone on the other side. All he had was a name on a sheet of paper that would introduce him to a man of God. Still, Frederick Douglas kept on. Anything could have gone wrong. If he was caught, his punishment could lead to his death. Anyone could have stayed back, but not Frederick Douglas. Freedom was something he had to have. Freedom was an ideal he was prepared to live. To get that freedom, he had to run away from slavery facing the biggest risk possible. At mid point of his life, he wrote "If there is no struggle, there is no progress"  Most of us will choose comfort when given a choice between comfort and an uncertain future. A Nigerian proverb endorses this: "The devil you know is better than the angel you don't kn...
