We are all guilty of the delusion that we will start achieving our own great purposes at some future date at which time some yet to happen situation has taken shape in our lives. We are constantly putting off greatness because we believe that a change in circumstances must take place before we can achieve greatness.
Wally is crystal clear about when we should start being great -- WE MUST BEGIN TODAY!
"You can begin to be great to-day in your own home, in your store or office, on the street, everywhere; you can begin to make yourself known as great; and you can do this by doing everything you do in a great way."
- Wallace D Wattles
We must begin right now -- not in an hour or even in "a minute" as my kids like to respond when I ask them to do chore. (I do it just as often, by the way! lol!)
We begin with very next thing we are doing...
Are you sitting at the computer wasting time with too much web-surfing? Then get up and do something that makes your living space look great, feel great or operate better.
Are you at work procrastinating the next task on your project list? Then close your browser and complete go at your next 3 tasks AS IF you were the rising star in your company that you are about to become by applying Wally's principles to your current job.
It is a well-known FACT that the very best place to find a better job is transform you current job into a little better job. Or, at least to do your current job in such a way that you can use your performance as a spring-board to a better opportunity.
Too often we see the future as the answer when all we ever have to work with is the RIGHT NOW and the only place we can ever work with is the RIGHT HERE WHERE WE ARE! |
