how many times have you heard the epression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. i would epand that epression by adding that most people spend more time thinking about their vacation than they do thinking about whats important in their life.while rest and relaation are a must in living a balanced life, its not what we were created to do. after all, the master creator took his r&r (rest and recreation) on the seventh day, only after si days of definitely directed thought.wallace d. wattles, wrote there is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardestwork in the world. and yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.my friend mike litman wrote an outstanding article for his ezine this week. its called the millionaire composite and it analyzes one of the big differences between super-successful people and everyone else. he writes i recently visited with a real estate multi millionaire mogul. what did i see net to his desk? his vision statement, along with a list of what he values in life---hand written.a few months back, i interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion dollars worth of products on television. he told me that he reads his life and business vision and goals daily, and that he takes time to visualize eactly what he wants to create-each night before falling asleep.what is your lifes purpose or your personal mission statement? is it written down? do you review it and think about it often? is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?without purpose and goals - definitely directed thought - you are like the proverbial ship without a rudder. there is power in your purpose and in your goals. it is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that propels you toward the life you envision.one of my favorite passages of james allen is one he wrote in the mastery of destiny: all successful people are people of purpose. they hold fast to an idea, a project, a plan, and will not let it go; they cherish it, brood upon it, tend and develop it; and when assailed by difficulties, they refuse to be beguiled into surrender; indeed, the intensity of the purpose increases with the growing magnitude of the obstacles encountered. and thats worth thinking about.我们多少次听到过这样的论点:大多数人在规划假期上花的时间比他们在规划自己生活上花的时间要多。 我为这一观点做了一点延伸:大多数的人在考虑假期上花的时间比他们在考虑人生中重要的事情上花的时间要多。虽然休息和放松是平衡的生活方式必须的元素,但是我们并不是为了它们而活着。毕竟,伟大的造物主在前6天的明确的方向性思考后,第7天才休息和放松。华莱士d.华佗士,写道没有任何一种体力劳动能够使大多数人望而却步,但连续不断地持久思考却能做到这一点;它是这世界上最困难的工作。 却也是取得成功首先要做的重要的劳动。我的朋友迈克里曼写了一篇杰出的文章。名字叫做百万富翁的构造,其中分析了超级成功者与其他人的一个重要区别,他写道我最近拜访了一位房地产界的杰出富翁。你们猜我看见他桌旁放了些什么?他对自己梦想的描述和一张列有生活中值得珍惜之物的清单--都是手写的。本新闻共2页,当前在第1页12
