What I Learned This Weekend
When I went to bed Friday night, my wife and I expected to spend Saturday afternoon together.
We had planned to get a bite to eat and see a movie.
But, by the time 11am rolled around those plans had gone out the window.
A bunch of my wife's friends called and before I knew it she was out with them and I was 'home alone'.
I decided to make the most of that alone time and headed to the office.
I really do enjoy being in the office all alone. Quiet, peaceful and I can get a lot done.
I grabbed lunch on the way, and like many of you, I sometimes enjoy reading when I eat…
I don't have that many books or magazines in my office, probably less then five books, but I grabbed that rare success classic I've been telling you about and started reading it again for the 12+ time.
What amazes me is that every time I read a book again, I see more pearls of wisdom in it. It's
truly incredible.
I want to share with you these two points that 'hit home' with me this weekend and that I think will be helpful to you.
While I was reading Theron Dumont's 1918 classic 'The Power of Concentration' he said this:
"One of the most beneficial practices I know of is that of looking for the good in everyone and everything, for there is good in all things. We encourage a person by seeing his good qualities and we also help ourselves by looking for them.
We gain their good wishes, a most valuable asset sometimes. We get back what we give out. The time comes when most all of us need encouragement; need buoying up. So form the habit of encouraging others, and you will find it a wonderful tonic for both those encouraged and yourself, for you will get back encouraging and uplifting thoughts."
You know, I've heard comments like this often, but it's so good to be reminded of things like this.
Especially this line, "We get back what we give out."
Theron Dumont then continued with this awesome passage.
"Life furnishes us the opportunity to improve. But whether we do it or not depends upon how near we live up to what is expected of us. The first of each month, a person should sit down and examine the progress he has made. If he has not come up to "expectations" he should discover the reason, and by extra exertion measure up to what is demanded next time. Every time that we fall behind what we planned to do, we lose just so much for that time is gone forever.
We may find a reason for doing it, but most excuses are poor substitutes for action. Most things are possible. Ours may be a hard task, but the harder the task, the greater the reward. It is the difficult things that really develop us, anything that requires only a small effort, utilizes very few of our faculties, and yields a scanty harvest of achievement. So do not shrink from a hard task, for to accomplish one of these will often bring us more good than a dozen lesser triumphs."
Re-read this line again, "Ours may be a hard task, but the harder the task, the greater the reward."
The journey to financial freedom isn't a 'walk in the park'. There will be challenges, but YOU can and will prevail.
There is so much success wisdom in Theron Dumont's rare success classic, 'The Power of Concentration' and I've included a whole system that will show you how I maximized the book
and made over $51,187 in less then 90 days.
It's a must have book for your success journey. You can learn more about it here:
The Power of Concentration
Another passage that really hit home when I was reading over lunch:
"I know that every person that is willing to pay the price can be a success. The price is not in money, but in effort. The first essential quality for success is the desire to do-- to be something."
You'll get so much from this rare book and the complete system for what equals only $1 a day for the month. Click here to learn more: The Power of Concentration
Because these points really 'hit home' for me, I'm kinda glad my wife went out with her friends. :}
