Not many would noticed sections of classified but in fact some of the best articles are found right there. Below is one of the many:
Think big, if you do not want to spend your old age regretting what you have not done in your life, do something now.
Think about what you are doing each day and ask yourself:” Is what im doing now getting me to where I want to get to?”
If the answer is “No”, then do something different,. Get out of your comfort zone and change your habits.
An instructor was watching me use a piece of equipment in the gym the other day. “Let me show you a different way to do it” he said.
The “different” way was a lot harder and somewhat more painful. However, it was more likely to produce results.
The human body and brain will always find an easy way to do things.
However, as it is often said:” No pain, no gain” so if you want something different to happen, do something different.
Psychologist Abraham Maslow said:” If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you will be unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading you own capabilities, your own possibilities.”
It is never too late to make that change.
Story of McDonald’s
Mr Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, was over 50 when he started making money.
He was a paper cup salesman who obtained the marketing rights to inventor Earl Prince’s multimixer milkshake machine.
He crisscrossed the United States for 17 years selling these mixers until he met up with the McDonald brothers, who ordered eight of his mixers and had them churning away all day.
Entranced by the effectiveness of the McDonald’s operation, Mr Kroc started thinking about building McDonlad’s restaurant all over the US. He thought he could then sell more multimixers.
The McDonald brothers were not too keen on the idea, so they franchised the restaurants to him.
He ultimately bought out the McDonald brothers, and as they say, they rest is history.
Mr Kroc’s belief in himself was unshakeable. He said later: “I was 52 years old. I had diabetes and incipient arthritis. I had lost my gall bladder and most of my thyroid gland.”
But he did not allow his age or his physical condition to hold him back.
Think about the negative things you say to yourself and the beliefs too have about yourself. Do not allow them to hold you back.
Change your beliefs
If you do have negative beliefs about yourself, here is a way to change them.
Your subconscious will always attempt to move away from pain and towards pleasure.
So start to associate massive pain to your negative belief. Think about how it will hold you back and stop you from achieving what you are trying to achieve.
Think about how miserable you will feel if you do not even try.
Old people rarely regret what they have done in their lives. But they do regret what they have not done. So think forward to when you are 75 or 80, and imagine how you will feel if you never tried doing what you wanted.
Then start to think of the pleasure you will receive in fulfilling your beliefs. Think about how good you will feel when you achieve what you set out to do.
That way, when you are older and look back and think about the things you did not achieve, at least you will be able to say:” I tried, I gave it my best shot and I didn’t sit on the sidelines.”
So think big. The size of your success is determined by how big you think.
If you think small, you will have small achievements. If you think big, your success will be big too.
