Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: Along the lines of our recent discussion of doing what you desire vice what others have convinced you to desire. Here’s another indication. Are you happy even when you “fail”? I was at the Ohio race. I was extremely happy even though I dropped out of the race very early. That told me that the things that I did accomplish which were not measurable in miles were things I wanted to do! I had the freedom to do the things I wanted. And since I liked meeting and being with all those people I was happy. Nothing can take that away from me. How does this apply to you?

This is something to remember at all times but especially when to wonder why things are happening as they are. Also when you feel bored and don’t know what your next step should be. Just try something. Does it work? Great. If it doesn’t work or you’re not that excited about the results, try something else. Just keep up that experimental attitude and know that you can always try something else.

Isn’t it funny how this works? When we were younger (and maybe to some degree still) we probably thought some people had all the luck. But then once we got to know more about them, we realized these were extremely hard workers and that luck probably did not have much to do with it. So, the lesson here is to just keep working hard and your “luck” will come. Because it’s not luck. It’s studying and practicing and then learning more and practicing more. Olympic champions aren’t plopped out as babies with all the talent in the world. They have to work and work hard. That’s the key to getting what you want. I recommend the works of Napoleon Hill. If the nearly 2000 books I have he is the one author whose books line more of my shelves than any other. And even at my age I still study him. I just finished a 16 week course on his work. Your “luck” can definitely change.
