Proper Mental Attitudes-
| Harry Lloyd:
"Success is only another form of failure if we forget what our priorities should be."
H.L. Hunt:
"Decide
what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
Establish your priorities and go to work."
Anonymous:
"Set
priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living
lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most
major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second
things first."

Success is an
Attitude!

The teacher was telling the class about plants that have the word "dog" in front of them: dogrose, dogwood, dog violet. She asked the class if they could name another flower with the prefix "dog." Steven raised his hand and said,
"Sure, Miss Jones, a 'collie'flower!"

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, "My Mommy looked back once while she was driving," he announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"

SEEDS of SUCCESS by Bob Prentice

Mastering Personal Priorities
Do you ever feel as if your life is spinning out of
control? Maybe things haven't gotten quite that bad yet, but you do know
that things are definitely out of whack and you feel confused, dazed
and wondering why you haven't been experiencing the success you had
hoped for. Believe me when I say that there have been many times over
the years that I have felt this way. Whenever I have analyzed things to
try to discover the "who, what, when, where, why and how" of the
situation, I have nearly always come to the realization that my
priorities were out of kilter.
I need to be
honest here and say this has always been one of the toughest areas of my
life to get a hold of and to master. I share with you, not because I
think I have "arrived" in this area, but because I understand the
importance of setting my priorities and keeping them right and know that
it is something I must work at diligently and consistently.
Thinking about and working on priorities is not
something you do only once a year; once a week isn't even often enough.
The key to maintaining the right priorities in life is to keep them
forefront in your mind everyday. It's a daily responsibility only you
can attend to and no one else can do it for you.
If, after setting your priorities, things still do not
appear to be working in your life, take another look at your priorities.
Quite possibly, they may not be in the proper order, or maybe you are
leaving something out, or trying to include something that really should
not be a priority at all. At this point you will need to get tougher on
yourself. You will need to be honest with yourself as you seek to
discover what works and what doesn't work.
Right now, take out a sheet of paper and write down
your top ten life priorities. Post them in a place where you can look at
them everyday for one week. Ask yourself questions, such as these:
Am I happy?
Am I balanced?
Is what I am doing working for me?
What's my next step?
Once you have
established your priorities, take time to update them on a regular
basis. Type them up and share them with your family, and ask someone
whom you respect and trust, such as a family member, close friend or a
colleague, to hold you accountable to consistently living out your
priorities.
Remember the goal is to keep your life balanced in each
of your priorities. If you will do this, it won't be long and you will
see that you are truly learning to master your priorities.
