You Rise by…

In the words of James Allen, “Whatever your task may be, concentrate your whole mind upon it; throw into it all the energy of which you are capable. The faultless completion of small tasks, leads inevitably to lager tasks. See to it that you rise by steady climbing, and you will never fail.”

Whatever you are doing, whatever your task may be,

if you want to be good at it, if you want to master it,

you must concentrate your whole mind upon it.

Be the best at what you do. Study everything about it.

Ask great questions. Learn everything about what you do.

Listen to people who have done it. Learn from others. Relearn what you already know.

Learn what you do not know.

Because we rise by learning.

We rise by loving.

We rise by teaching.

We rise by asking questions.

We rise by doing what others do not do.

We rise by challenging ourselves.

We rise by facing our fears.

And we rise by conquering ourselves.

Again, whatever you do, do it well.

“The Keynote of Success”

James Allen said, “At the root of every success there is some form of well-husbanded and well-directed energy. There has been some persistent brooding of the mind upon a project. Success is like a flower; it may appear more or less suddenly, but is the finished product of a long series of efforts, of preparatory stages. Men see the success, but the preparation for it, the innumerable mental processes that led up to it, are hidden from them.”

Success takes time. It won’t happen overnight.

Do not be afraid to pursue your goals.

Do not compare yourself to others.

Let them live their lives. You live your own life.

Whatever you are doing, do not give up until you are done.

Be strong. Be brave. With hard work, with determination, you will succeed.
