We all know many people who are inspiring. But how can their achievements bring you motivation? Inspiring people's lives prove that people can overcome anything. Many of them lived in poverty, came from a harsh environment, or even got deformity. Very few of them are proved to be born with natural talents, in wealthy family, and at a right time and space. They do not own excellence by birth, but they build excellence by great efforts. Until now, you would be asking yourself a question: What makes the successful people different from ME? Could it be that all of them share some common traits? Is that instance method usable with ME? Yes. Thinking is what every man has; it depends on how you are using them. It is a tangible thing that determines the success in every accomplishments which successful people have some traits in common.
Success can come to any of us IF we have positive mental attitude. Attitude is not a skill that can be mastered overnight or in several days. It is a degree in which you like or dislike something. How would you change it? Make good use of thinking habit; be positive in your actions. From time to time, you gained experiences, you use them to solve immediate problem, keeping doing it until habit forms. Second thing is faith, the greater you have it the greater chance things would turn out the way you are intended. I am very used to the old saying that my father always reminds me (he got it from a book); "What your mind can conceive and believe, you mind can achieve." This quote basically means to have Faith. To give you the clearer picture of Faith, I would give to compare two situations. Each of these scene represents the same effort but in different occasions.
You are told to jump over across a 1 meter square box on the floor, you definitely confident and believe that you can do it. Next, more challenging, you are told to jump over a 1 meter square pond in the garden, you are constructing a qualm whether or not you are going to get wet if you failed, but you manage to do it. Lastly, the most excited scene, of course, you are told to jump over across the 1000 meter deep abyss and below are pools of magma (you know... hot liquid) but still one meter wide. Until now, you might be wavering if you should try. But what if you fail? It means your life! You could be melting in 1600 degree Celsius silicate mixtures. Your eyes will be popped out like popcorn in the microwave, just a second you are dead!
These situations provide enough evidence on how your mind works. You should now understand how a similar problem with different elements can cause distractions and create influences in giving up your easy goal. I hope that you receive some success formulas from the analysis of the great successful people and I would like to share with you some pictures of my inspirational people. Hope you will enjoy seeing their faces. :)
