"Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture
of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously.
Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the
picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination,"
wrote Norman Vincent Peale. Constancy is a vital
characteristic of those who succeed. They go beyond the
status quo and will not settle for mediocrity. They stretch
beyond their initially perceived limits, become better, and
stretch again. They are constantly learning, developing new
skills, and challenging themselves to develop another facet
within their business. They reach for greater perception and
a refreshed frame of reference.
When your mind can perceive a position of lofty success, the
path to your vision becomes markedly clear. You commit to
expanding your abilities and knowledge, to enlisting
responsible action from experts, and to approaching your
business in new and creative forms. You accept change as the
lifeblood of your organization. You applaud the supportive
efforts of your management team. You become able to see
defeats as small battles along the way, ever holding the
determination that the next challenge will be conquered and
you will ultimately win the war.
"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach
down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra
ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even," said
Muhammed Ali. That extra ounce of power is always in
reserve. Keep fighting one more round. Keep getting up one
more time. Keep reaching for one more match.
Drive yourself with your mental picture of success. "The man
who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is
the man who will win," wrote Roger Bannister.
Determination is powerful. Use it as the key to your dreams.
