THE
HARDEST FRUIT
|
Do you recognize
these?
- love
- joy
- peace
- patience
- kindness
- goodness
- faithfulness
- gentleness
- self-control
It’s right out of
the Good Book – the Bible.
These are called Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22&23).
These are some of the
most potent characteristics of people
who live a life a success. One of these Fruits is harder
than the others for many people. Which one is the hardest
for you?
If you master the
trait of self-control, life’s potential
problems will not be so much of a problem any more. Think
about it.
If you have
self-control you can pretty much live
a life of direction, organization and power. You wouldn’t be
swayed due to your decision of self-control.
Also, when you master
self-control, many of the other Fruits
will fall in line behind self-control. If you have the power
to make decisions through self-control, you will have the
self-control to decide the goodness, kindness, love,
faithfulness, patience, etc.
Self-control all
starts with your decisions. Master your
mind and you can master your decisions. It’s about mastering
and not being mastered. Not until you can become your mind’s
master will you truly know and understand real success, real
wealth, real happiness and real life.
How do you master
your mind?
Below are some ideas and guidelines that you may want to
consider when you set out to achieve ultimate self-control.
ONE: Think for
yourself.
We all know within us both on a conscious and subconscious
level what is right for us and what does not agree with who
we really are.
But how many times
have you agreed with a
principle you didn’t believe or accompanied a group to a
place you didn’t necessarily like.
Shakespeare said it
best when he said, “To thine own self
be true.” If you don’t respect yourself enough to stand up
for your convictions, should others respect you? I don’t think
so. Think for yourself.
TWO: Build your mind
muscle.
Use your brain. This goes along with thinking for yourself
but it’s on a different level.
We all have areas of
interest or avenues we’d like to
pursue. Self-control will empower you to get to the places
and participate in the events and talk to the people that
will help you achieve your interest and goals.
How many people do
you know who have expressed interest
in something or a desire that they wish they had more money?
If you’re sucking wind, I bet you can think of a time within the
past week someone has mentioned something to this effect.
Was it you?
THREE: Create
consistent action toward your objective. If
you never start toward your destination, you’ll be in the
same place next month that you are today. Seems elementary,
but self-control is not easily attained for most people.
When you create
consistent action toward your objective you
will be closer to achieving it each day – no matter how
small the steps you are taking. In 6 months, how many steps
closer will you be to your objective than you were when you
started? It’s doable. Just start making consistent steps.
FOUR: Don’t give
up. Giving up is usually a product of
obstacles and frustration. With self-control you have
already made your decision about how to deal with your
frustrations and trials. When they come, how will you react?
Will you take the
necessary steps to solve the problem(s) or
will you allow the problems take the necessary steps to
dissolve your success? Self-control is the greatest tool for
success.
Master your mind.
Master your moment. Master your
motivation. Master your life.
Until next time...

“C” NAME CONTEST |
Thank you for your
submissions for our soon-to-be-here little
baby boy. I’ve got many name suggestions.
Here’s what we’re
going to do… If you submit a name and we
use it to name our son, I will send you a copy of the ebook
Forward-Living: Your Formula for Living & Loving Life.
Or get it now at http://www.forward-living.com/successnow.htm
So, go ahead and send
in your submissions of “C” names.
Remember, the “C” name has to have the “C” sound (as in
Chris, Colin and Cameron – his brothers) and not the “Ch”
sound.
Send submissions to info@forward-living.com
with
“C-name submission” in the subject line. You can submit as
many names as you would like as many times as you would
like. This little guy is due on July 8.
Good Luck!
