Are you ready? It is time for a challenge. This is the 30-day challenge of Earl Nightingale. I am so excited to offer you this challenge. I follow this ritual every day. It is indeed amazing and empowering!
Check it out?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the next 30-days follow each of
these steps every day until you have
achieved your goal.
1. Write on a card what it is you
want more that anything else. It may be
more money. Perhaps you’d like to
double your income or make a specific
amount of money. It may be a beautiful
home. It may be success at your job. It
may be a particular position in life. It
could be a more harmonious family.
Write down on your card specifically
what it is you want. Make sure it’s a
single goal and clearly defined. You
needn’t show it to anyone, but carry it
with you so that you can look at it several
times a day. Think about it in a
cheerful, relaxed, positive way each
morning when you get up, and immediately
you have something to work
for — something to get out of bed for,
something to live for.
Look at it every chance you get during
the day and just before going to bed
at night. As you look at it, remember
that you must become what you think
about, and since you’re thinking about
your goal, you realize that soon it will
be yours. In fact, it’s really yours the
moment you write it down and begin
to think about it.
2. Stop thinking about what it is you
fear. Each time a fearful or negative
thought comes into your mind, replace
it with a mental picture of your positive
and worthwhile goal. And there
will come a time when you’ll feel like
giving up. It’s easier for a human being
to think negatively than positively.
That’s why only five percent are successful!
You must begin now to place
yourself in that group.
“Act as though it were impossible to
fail,” as Dorothea Brande said. No matter
what your goal — if you’ve kept
your goal before you every day —
you’ll wonder and marvel at this new
life you’ve found.
3. Your success will always be measured
by the quality and quantity of service
you render. Most people will tell you
that they want to make money, without
understanding this law. The only people
who make money work in a mint.
The rest of us must earn money. This is
what causes those who keep looking for
something for nothing, or a free ride, to
fail in life. Success is not the result of
making money; earning money is the
result of success — and success is in
direct proportion to our service.
Most people have this law backwards.
It’s like the man who stands in
front of the stove and says to it: “Give
me heat and then I’ll add the wood.”
How many men and women do you
know, or do you suppose there are
today, who take the same attitude
toward life? There are millions.
We’ve got to put the fuel in before we
can expect heat. Likewise, we’ve got to
be of service first before we can expect
money. Don’t concern yourself with the
money. Be of service ... build ... work ...
dream ... create! Do this and you’ll find
there is no limit to the prosperity and
abundance that will come to you.
Don’t start your test until you’ve
made up your mind to stick with it. If
you should fail during your first 30
days — by that I mean suddenly find
yourself overwhelmed by negative
thoughts — simply start over again
from that point and go 30 more days.
Gradually, your new habit will form,
until you find yourself one of that
wonderful minority to whom virtually
nothing is impossible.
Above all ... don’t worry! Worry
brings fear, and fear is crippling. The
only thing that can cause you to worry
during your test is trying to do it all
yourself. Know that all you have to do
is hold your goal before you; everything
else will take care of itself.
Take this 30-day test, then repeat it
... then repeat it again. Each time it
will become more a part of you until
you’ll wonder how you could have
ever have lived any other way. Live
this new way and the floodgates of
abundance will open and pour over
you more riches than you may have
dreamed existed. Money? Yes, lots of
it. But what’s more important, you’ll have peace ... you’ll be in that wonderful minority who lead calm, cheerful, successful lives.
