Free Yourself From Resentment by Jane Powell "Harboring resentment wastes time and robs your energy." Holding grudges against another takes a tremendous amount of energy and slowly erodes your happiness. If you think about it, it's also a waste of time. You have so many better things to do with your life. When you allow your negative emotions to affect your daily thoughts and actions, you become controlled by them. Take a check of the resentment you hold against your loved ones, your co-workers or even your neighbor. Try to overcome your resentment by letting your considerate and loving nature dominate thoughts and actions. You can choose how to live your life. Free yourself from resentment and you will regain all of your energy. Try it. You'll feel great when you do! Persistence Prevails When All Else Fails Life is easy, change is easy, and everything is easy. If only this was true. How often have We looked at successful people in almost any walk of life and wished we could have what they Have. It seems so easy for them. Well, nothing is as easy as it seems. But, what makes the Difference; what has made other people's success look easy? Not too long ago, I was faced with what appeared to be a brick wall. After leaving a corporate Environment for greener pastures, I found that the other side wasn't any greener, nor did there Seem to be any grass at all. No matter what I attempted to do, I was invariably knocked back to Square one. So, I started another business venture, again to be knocked back to square one. I began to doubt my own confidence; maybe I had made a fatal error. Maybe, I should go back to What I did before. At least, it seemed to be a much more secure and safer environment. As I contemplated My future, I received a card in the mail from a friend of mine who knew how I was struggling. The card Read: "Persistence; persistence prevails when all else fails". I sat there reading that card, once, twice, three times. What did these words mean for me? Were these Words just that; words, nothing more? When you're faced with an uncertain future, when all you try Seems to go nowhere, maybe there was more truth to these words than I realized. Maybe, I hadn't found the right recipe for success. On the other hand, maybe I had given up too soon. Ever heard the expression 'back up and re-load'. Well, if you haven't, it meant to me that I should start Again but this time internalizing the words "persistence prevails when all else fails". To make a long story short, I did persevere; persistence paid off with a good dose of patience Realizing that a new beginning doesn't emerge to success overnight. After all, in my former corporate Career, I had invested years of education and training to become successful. Why should it be any Different when I started a new business venture? Failure is the incapacity to learn from your mistakes. Success is the capacity to learn, to persist, to Persevere in order to reach your goal. Life can be filled with failures, but only those who don't Persevere adopt failure as the way it has to be. ©2007 Byron Pulsifer Allowing achievement The most effective work is not hard work. The most effective work is work that flows easily and naturally. Valuable results don't come from stress and anxiety. Really valuable results come from authenticity and truth. Imagine being relaxed and confident, not fighting against the challenges but instead allowing the best possibilities. Imagine the feeling of genuine fulfillment that comes when what you do is completely aligned with who you are. Stop trying, and allow. Stop worrying, and be. Stop pushing, and give. Be truly thankful for the opportunity to make a difference. Stop trying to get achievement. And start allowing achievement to get you. Ralph Marston |
