Develop Success Deep Within You

 

Develop Success Deep Within You
by Jane Powell
“True success.”
Success is not in your environment. It is not controlled by luck, chance, or the influence of others. Success is not in the greener pastures on the other side of the fence. Success lies right where you are – here and now!
You don’t need greater abilities, or greater opportunities. You already possess what you need for success to develop deep within you.  So, don’t look elsewhere. Instead, expect the seeds of success to grow from your heart.
Starting today, vow to focus, explore and take action on what you have and what you can do. When you do, success will surely follow.

 

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

 

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.

 

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its p oor performance;

 

Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.

 

This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

 

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

 

Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

 

Meaning in the effort
Because there is darkness, light has value. Because of the challenges, the rewards have meaning.
The essence of great art is in the authentic physical, mental and spiritual effort that creates it. If it were easy, instant and free, no one would care about it.
When the path becomes steep, that’s no reason to despair. For it means you are making progress and nearing the top.
Do you find yourself wishing that life could be easier? Take that as your prompting to go out and make it more meaningful.
Because a life free of effort is not really what you want. What you really want is for every effort to bring a meaningful sense of fulfillment.
When your purpose is clear and honestly you, everything is an opportunity. Feel the beauty of that purpose, and eagerly greet whatever may come.
Ralph Marston
