The Most Courageous People in the
World.

Who are
the most courageous people in the world? Armed services?
Coastguards? Astronauts? Firepersons? Explorers? Mountaineers? ……Sports? For us, the most courageous people
in the world are those who are committed to discovering how they can get the
best out of themselves. Individuals, who are committed to learning about and
changing, their habits and beliefs in order to fulfil
their dreams. Individuals, who are
fighting the dreaded disease of complacency.
Complacency
is one of the deadliest diseases you face in your life. It stifles growth. Kills companies. Destroys the economy of
your Country. Changes and destroys your relationship with your partner,
friends, children and colleagues.
If you:
have a feeling of self-satisfaction.
find you are low in energy and enthusiasm.
have become unaware of danger, trouble, or controversy in your life.
find it difficult to accept positive criticism and acknowledge your
mistakes.
take ages making a decision, especially those that will change your
future or may be unpopular.
go through the day with an attitude of ‘ that’s good enough’ or
‘that will do’.
Then,
in a nutshell, complacency has you in it’s hands and
is destroying you.
Complacency
is taking away your spirit.
How do
you overcome complacency? What’s the treatment?
Napoleon
Hill says the treatment is: Control Your Own Thoughts.
“You
are searching for the magic key that will unlock the door to the source of
power; and you have the key in your own hands, and you make use of it the
moment you learn to control your own thoughts.”
The
magic key is NOT to focus on and control your negative and wasteful thoughts
but to develop your necessary and positive thoughts.
Negative
and wasteful thoughts, like blame and worry, have no useful purpose. Their job
is to reduce your energy and your potential. To make
you weaker than you really are. Therefore DO NOT concentrate your
thinking on your weaknesses because the more you think negative and wasteful
thoughts the further and further you will get from your potential. You cannot
change negative thoughts to positive ones.
So,
what can you do?
There
are two strategies that you can adopt to be successful:
1.
Focus on your necessary and positive thoughts.
Necessary
thoughts: those that keep your life working naturally and Positive thoughts are
those that move you forward with the intention of forming win/win
relationships. Both are invaluable. They bring you energy and success. They are
your seeds to a successful life. They drive your feelings, words and actions.
The more you can think in the positive the more your feelings, words and
actions are positive and you are successful.
2. Stop
asking yourself ‘why’ whenever you don’t get the results you want.
‘Why’
only causes you to respond with ‘because’. And any sentence starting with
‘because’ means that you are now defending your past behaviour
and change is impossible. Instead ask yourself; ‘what
caused it to happen’ or ‘how did it happen’. Now you have something strong to
base your future on.
These
strategies are the antidote that finishes complacency and give you freedom.
You
have the freedom to choose your behaviour. You don’t
have to continue following others and what others say to you. All you have to
do is focus on your natural and positive thoughts. These give you power and
enable you to find what you are truly capable of.
The
most courageous people in the world are those who overcome the disease of
complacency and strive to be all they are capable of being.
"Only
those who risk going far can possibly find out how far one can go"
(TS
Eliot 1888 - 1965)
