Constant Improvement

If there is a mission for you in this lifetime - it cannot takeplace unless, first and foremost, you are true to yourself. If you are addicted to other peoples' approval MORE than fulfilling your goals - then you are NOT true to yourself and you cannot ever be truly happy.

Happiness does not come from friends, or from making sure you dumb yourself down to be liked. Happiness doesn't come from money, either. It doesn't come from good or bad economic times. It doesn't come from going to the World Series or flying first class. And it doesn't come from what you wear or have decorating your home.

Happiness comes from being willing to live life with gusto and enthusiasm while pursuing goals that matter to you; goals that also benefit your fellow man.

You don't make yourself or anyone else happy when you dumb yourself down. All you do is pay homage to the adage, "Misery LOVES company." Be ONE of US and all will be okay, the masses say. No it won't.

What is the world without examples of people rising to great heights despite all the cat-calls and attempts to stifle you to a life of mediocrity. What would the 2008 Olympics be without a Michael Phelps winning 8 gold medals. Imagine no medals at all for achievement - and there won't be anything worth cheering about - in any endeavor.

Being sad or depressed because someone else is doing well is no way to go through life. A far better choice is to celebrate others' success and to set a goal and create a plan that will help you do likewise.

That's what I did long, long ago - when I had nothing but an imagination to steer me toward where I am today. I never sulked when I was broker than broke - nor have I ever treated anyone with disrespect because he happens to be where I once was - or worse. Instead, I've made it a mission to do my best to help lift others UP. That's what I try to do with every thing I write; with every email I send.

Never pride yourself on poverty. Never melt toward mediocrity. Rise UP - in every sense of the word. Rise up personally. Rise up professionally. Rise up spiritually.

Be MORE than you think you can be. Stretch yourself to new limits. Regardless of what is going on before you - you can still choose to be BIGGER than your circumstances.

That's all anyone with an imagination and a pulse ever wants. Constant improvement - in good times and in bad. Make a choice to prosper in the best of times and the worst of times. Can this be done. Of course. And history proves it.
