Sometimes success is found through the things that you don’t do. Here are some ideas for what we shouldn’t do:
Don’t say I can’t: There are two words that I don’t allow in my house hold — I can’t. The fact is that most of
what we say that we can’t do – can actually be done, if only we put our mind to it. My mother taught me
from an early age that if someone else had already done it, I could too. And if no one else had already
done it, I could certainly be the first. Good advice!
Don’t give up: If you are going to achieve anything in life, you are going to get knocked down along the
way. Those who succeed are those who get back up and forge ahead. My oldest child is in gymnastics and
the other day on the way to practice we were talking about determination. I am convinced that more often
than not, success lies on the other side of the river hardship. Determination, and don’t give up attitude will
see us through the hard times and onto victory!
Don’t get discouraged: Discouragement is an attitude. Instead of going to the depths of the dumps, tell
yourself you are going to do great. Choose to be courageous. One of the greatest powers we have been
given as humans is the ability to choose our attitude. All people experience hard circumstances. Yet some
say to themselves that they will learn from them and forge ahead a better person. These people, who do not
allow themselves to get discouraged, are those who become successful.
Don’t be a lone ranger: Anybody who has achieved greatness has done it with the help of many others who
bought into the vision and pushed the cart. The most famous and accomplished achievers in the world all
had a cast of others who helped them along. If the greats need others, then so do we. The sooner we realize
that we need others, the quicker we will achieve our dreams.
Don’t accept anything less than excellence: Good gets along, excellence succeeds. Have you ever heard
anyone say of the greats ‘Yeah, they were pretty good.’ They were excellent! We should never, under any
circumstances, accept less than excellence. We should constantly be striving to better ourselves, our
situations, our relationships and the people around us, helping them to become excellent.
