The SECRET OF SUCCESS lies not only in what you do, but what MAKES you do it.
A successful person has formed the HABIT of doing things that failures do not like to do.
SUCCESS is something which is achieved by the minority of men, and therefore unnatural, and not to be achieved by following our natural likes and dislikes.
SUCCESSFUL men are influenced by their desire for pleasing RESULTS.
FAILURES however are influenced by their desire for PLEASING METHODS, and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing the things they like to do.
Having a family to support and having to make a living; shouldn’t that be enough of a PURPOSE ?
That’s too general – here’s why.
It is not sufficiently STRONG A PURPOSE to make you FORM the HABIT of DOING things you don’t like to do – for the very simple reason that it easier to adjust ourselves to the hardships of a POOR LIVING than it is to adjust ourselves to the hardships of making a BETTER ONE.
If you doubt me, just think of all the things you are willing to do without, in order to AVOID doing the things you don’t like to do.
It is easier to RATIONALISE away your DREAMS.
Unless you form the HABIT of deliberately calling on PEOPLE who are SEARCHING for something but are DIFFICULT to get together with, then you will have unconsciously formed the habit of calling on people who are UNABLE to buy but willing to listen.
