Achieving Something is Success!
I set out to achieve small things, thus contributing to success. Just when I think forget it, I don't need this shit anyway, it all comes to me like magic. Zen says it all, when you give it up for awhile, it comes to you when you least expect it.
Striving for something is not always easy, in most cases it's very difficult to achieve your goal, unless you're fully focused and aiming right for it, but, doubt clouds the way for many making it an obstacle.
Two and a half months ago I was an extreme nail-biter-all-my-life, then, like magic I stopped biting my bleeding nails. How did I do it you ask, it was two other people's influence over me which contributed to the nasty habit.
First, my brother Ron said that under a microscope you can see living organisms growing under the fingernails, that wasn't enough to make me quit at the time. Then, while in Tim Hortons I was knawing on my fingernails when a woman glanced at me, it embarrassed me to be caught committing a filthy habit. It was like a light went on, so I quit biting my nails and now have beautiful unpainted nails, untouched by the harsh chemicals of nail polish. This was an achievement which wasn't even strived for.
The strange thing is, I now can feel my nails on my hands, whereas, before I couldn't feel them. It feels strange to be able to feel nails, I am aware of their presence--I feel them there. I like the nails but it will take some time getting use to feeling them there.
Another small achievement was when I recently received a computer from MDG Computers on payments. I decided when I woke up that morning that I was going to set-it-up and I did. I followed through with my thoughts which is a success for me. I simply phoned TELUS technical repair and they guided me right through everything to connect two computers in my household.
I've decided to set small goals and achieve them. I'm now interviewing Authors at their book-signings and then writing about it at the Examiner. I only have myself to push me to living life, and to make life happen for me, instead of having life happen to me. I am in control now.
Albert Einstein said, "Try not to become a man of success but rather one of value" That's saying that you may be successful but are you valuable, in other words does your success benefit others, which then makes you valuable.
To interpret it my way, when I achieve small successes I can think what I am, which is valuable. You think what you are! If you think you are valuable you are valuable and will feed into developing the value you are. And the value you are is the value you present to others to benefit them, that is valuable success!
So upon achieving small goals, you're really gaining successes, how you deal with those successes will determine how valuable your character is. If you have an unfavorable character, that's your problem inflicted onto others, however, if you have a favorable character chances are you'll influence more people to you.
