Hit Homeruns Every Time At Bat – Believe Like You Have Never Believed Before!
Believe it and you can achieve it!
You make the difference in all the aspects of
your life! What you can conceive and believe you
can achieve!
Brian Tracy, master motivator has these things
to say about attaining success:
• “We know that willpower is essential to
any success. Willpower is based on
confidence. It’s based on conviction. It’s
based on faith. It’s based on your belief in
your ability to triumph over all obstacles.
And you can develop willpower by
persistence, by working on your goals by
reading the biographies of successful
people, by listening to audio programs, by
reading books about people who’ve
achieved success”.
• The more information you take into your
mind that is consistent with success, the
more likely it is that you will develop the
willpower to push you through the
obstacles and difficulties you will
experience.
My 5 P’s of Performance: preparation,
perception, pursuit, power and persistence.
Let’s take each one separately and see how they
independently and also cohesively work together
in achieving belief in yourself and your abilities
to reach any goal you set for yourself.
1. Preparation-Thorough preparation is
necessary in putting your game plan for
achievement together. Know you route, research
the path of least resistance.
Preparation=Opportunity.
2. Perception-Clearly ½ the battle in achieving
any outcome is the perception you have and
quite possibly what others have of your drive to
the realization of it.
3. Pursuit-You gain a new perspective on a
situation when you pursue your dreams. Through
constant dedication and sacrifice to the
achievement of your goals, you learn about
yourself and your true abilities. You grow to new
heights and realize your true potential is waiting
for you to act on it.
4. Power-This can be perceived or real. The key
to your success is not abusing it. The more
power and presence that you perceive that you
posses, whether real or imagined, the more
probable it is that that you will be influenced to
do the right things you want to do.
5. Persistence-Lastly, Persistence is an attitude.
If you want to accomplish anything in this life,
you must take massive action on a consistent,
persistent basis in order to succeed.
Dale Carnegie once said, “Most of the important
things in the world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when there
seemed to be no hope at all”. Your job is to be
persistent and work through your obstacles.
Have an unrelenting desire to fulfill your dreams.
Live with tenacity, live with burning desire to
succeed. Never, never ever give up, the next
step maybe your step up on the victory stand of
life.
Let me tell you about one person, who really
believed like he never believed before and found
success in life and a few other things along the
way:
The hope for generations of black Americans was
named Jack Robinson.
Jackie Robinson, as the world got to know him,
grew up to become the broad-shouldered hero of
a whole race.
Robinson came out of Los Angeles a multiple sport
superstar, with elegance in his step,
eloquence in his speech and the grit to withstand
pressures that maybe only presidents such as
Abraham Lincoln ever knew.
Yes, without a doubt, Jackie Robinson never
knew what was ultimately planned for him.
Since Robinson broke the color barrier in major
league sports with the Brooklyn Dodgers over 50
years ago, sports in America really has become a
patchwork of color, gender and race.
Robinson was ridiculed and threatened, always
scrutinized, always condemned to silence instead
of retaliating against the many racists he
crossed. He feared he would set back the cause
that would eternally alter the sports world. So for
years, he kept silent.
Robinson fought through barriers that seem
immeasurable now. He used speed and daring on
the field. He used class and tolerance off it.
He coped with a momentous moment that could
have broken weaker men, and his story will be
remembered forever.
But as much as generations will thank Robinson
for the trail he blazed 50 years ago, Robinson
often thanked others.
He told his wife, Rachel, that he measured
himself fortunate for having Dodgers owner
Branch Rickey groom him as the barrier-breaker.
He often articulated public admiration for those
African-American athletes who had preceded
him, setting the stage and conditioning the
nation’s opinion toward equality.
“People like Jesse Owens and Joe Louis,”
Robinson told a biographer, “those are my
heroes.”
So when you are faced with momentous decisions
in your own life, believe like Robinson did. Believe
like you have never believed before, your decision
may not change the world, but it has the power to
change you and that’s even more important to the
person you are to become!
