"Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't
blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself,
and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never
will." John D. MacDonald

A Little Equation that Creates Big Results by Chris Widener
"The purpose of man is in action not thought" - Thomas Carlyle
Often people will ask me how I get so much done in my life. They wonder at how I
am able to accomplish so many things. The answer is found not in what a great
person I am, but in an equation I came up with a few years ago and remind myself
of on almost a daily basis. And when I live this equation out, it produces big
results. What people don't seem to grasp is that this equation will work for
anybody! Anyone can see results in their life if they will live it out!
This little equation, when it is understood, and acted upon, is perhaps the most
powerful equation there is in regard to long-term achievement and
accomplishment. Yet, this is not a complex equation. In fact, it is rather
simple. So what is it?
Your short-term actions multiplied by time equals your long-term
accomplishments.
If you want to see change in your life, see big results, the first thing you
must do is change your current actions. Otherwise the old saying becomes a
reality: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you
always got!" But if we change our actions, we will see different results!
Most people want to accomplish a lot in their lives. Yet very few actually do.
Why is this? It is because what they believe will equal their long-term
accomplishments are wrong. Here are some of the things that people believe will
create great accomplishments for them:
Beliefs
Vision
Big dreams
Ideas
Ideals
Values
Desire
The truth is that while these things are very important, they are not enough in
and of themselves. We need to have the above underlying all that we do, but we
need to actually do something! And this is where most people stop. We need to
take action on our dreams and beliefs every day.
Here are some examples of how this works.
Who loses weight? The one who knows all about the benefits of exercise or the
one who walks 3 miles a day?
Who retires early? The one who dreams of a house on the beach, or the one who
invests $300 a month?
Who writes books? The one who desires to become a best-selling author, or the
one who gets up early and writes for half an hour a day?
Who has the best marital relationship? The one who knows how much spending time
with their spouse can improve their relationship, or the one who sits down and
talks with their spouse every night?
Who makes the most sales? The one who believes they can become a great
salesperson, or the one who makes 10 sales calls a day?
I think you get the point. When it all comes down to it, we must act upon our
vision, beliefs, and ideals or we won't see them come to fruition. I see too
many people who know what is right, but don't ever do anything about it. Imagine
what a difference we could make in our own lives and the lives of others if we
would simply begin to act upon on our beliefs!
When I get to the end of my life, I want to know that I have done all that I can
to make this world a better place and to enhance the lives of those around me. I
want to know that I gave it my best shot. And I am sure that you do to.
I remember reading an interview with an author who has written numerous books
that have sold in the tens of millions. They asked him how he did it. His answer
was that he got up every morning before anyone else in his family and wrote,
long hand, with a pencil, for an hour. Then he quit and went about his day. But
his short-term actions piled up. 7 hours a week. 30 hours a month. 365 hours a
year. After a while, he had lots of books!
Some questions as we leave:
What long-term accomplishments do you want to see come to pass?
What short-term actions will you need to do over time to see them come to pass?
What will you do today to begin seeing your dreams come true?
What will you do this week to see them come true?
You can have an awesome future, filled with great achievements and results if
you begin today to take action and make it a reality!
One more time, so you can plug it in, memorize it, and live it.
Your short-term actions multiplied by time equals your long-term
accomplishments.

3. Your Achievement Tips -
Change Begins with Choice by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we
wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we
wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of
life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next
year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of
having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We
can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth,
and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the
effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The
fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by
our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better
choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need
more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They
need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the
wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest
difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices
that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and
needing to make changes in their life - If you don't like how things are, change
it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in
your life - and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
