1. Your Achievement Article
Embracing Adversity for Achievement by Chris Widener
"Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone
who has overcome adversity." -- Lou Holtz
Success in life depends upon being strong people with clear goals and
indomitable spirits. Unfortunately most of us aren't born that way. We grow that
way. And that growth can either come from us entering willfully into situations
that will cause us to grow, like subscribing to The Chris Widener Ezine, or from
the way we react when circumstances come upon us without our consent. The latter
is what we call adversity.
Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid adversity, and I guess that is just
as well. We shouldn't pursue adversity, but when she arrives, we should welcome
her as a foe who, through our interaction with her, will make us into better
people. Every contact we have with adversity gives us again the opportunity to
grow personally and professionally and to forge our character into one that will
achieve much later on.
With that in mind, here are some thoughts on adversity, and how it can help you
to succeed in every area of your life and achieve your dreams.
Adversity brings out our resources. Horace said, "Adversity reveals genius,
prosperity conceals it." When everything is going well, we coast. There isn't a
lot of stress, and we don't have to draw too much on the resources that reside
within us. But when adversity comes we begin to draw upon each and every
resource that we have in order to conquer the circumstances at hand. Adversity
then, keeps us sharp. It keeps us using our personal muscle, if you will. That
is a good thing because we grow through the use of our resources.
Adversity brings us together with others. Sure a team can have their problems
with each other, but when they step on the court, when they experience the
adversity of facing another obstacle, they pull together. One for all and all
for one, as they say. The next time you experience adversity of some kind, keep
your eyes open for how it can bring you together with your family, your
co-workers or your team. Then when you are through it, you will find a bond that
was created that wasn't there before.
Adversity makes us better people with stronger characters. Never underestimate
the power of adversity to shape us inwardly. How will courage, discipline and
perseverance ever flourish if we are never tested? After adversity, we come out
stronger people and able then to use our character and influence in an even
greater way to lead those around us and to improve their lives as well as our
own.
Adversity makes life interesting. John Amatt said, "Without adversity, without
change, life is boring." How true. Have you noticed that while we are in the
middle of adversity we only long to get out of it, but we then spend a lifetime
recounting it to anyone who will listen? This is because it spices life up a
little. Imagine how boring life would be if everything always went well, when
there was never a mountain to be climbed.
Question - If you are in the middle of some adversity right now, what resources
are you drawing on? Who are you drawing closer to and working with? What part of
your character is being tested, and built up? What can you do to view this
adversity as one who will be better for it on the other side?
Remember the words of Napoleon Hill - "Every adversity, every failure, every
heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." Believe it,
it is true!

Communication for the Unexpected...
Every day, in dozens of different ways, you're sending a message out to the
world... a message that determines whether or not people are going to like you,
help you, work with you, respect you, hire you, promote you, and more.
So let me ask you this: Do you ever talk to your spouse or kids? Do you ever
attend a meeting at work? Do you ever send an email? Do you ever need the help
of a sales clerk or repair person? Do you ever eat out at a restaurant?
Do you ever leave voice-mail messages? Do you have a website? Do you ever go
shopping? Do you ever have to make a decision about what to wear? Do you ever
have to deal with a customer service rep on the phone? Do you ever need somebody
else to do something for you? Do you ever need someone to agree with you, or see
things your way? If you answered yes to any of these questions - and I'll bet
you answered yes to just about all of them - then you, my friend, are a
communicator.
My name is Tony Jeary, and I've spent the past 20 years helping some of today's
biggest CEOs and corporations to communicate their messages to the world in the
most powerful, inspiring, and effective ways possible. Everything you're going
to hear, discover, and learn in Communication Mastery has been utilized with
phenomenal results by some of the wealthiest, most successful individuals and
corporations in the world. They've paid me thousands for this very same
information! I'm giving it to you for just a tiny fraction of that.
Now, discover the simple secrets to making that message exactly the one you want
to be sending - so that you can use it to achieve exactly the outcomes you're
looking for: at home, at work and in every other area of your life.
Within minutes of listening to this audio program, you are going to be on your
way to identifying and honing your own unique Perfect Message. And once you do
that, everything else in your life will just fall into place. Communicating
masterfully will become unconscious and automatic for you. It will simply be who
you are - all the time, in every situation.

"The assassin and the slanderer differ only in
the weapon they use; with the one it is the dagger, with the other the tongue.
The latter is worse than the former, for the first only kills the body, while
the other murders the reputation." Tyron Edwards
3. Your Achievement Tips
The First Step for Getting Better Results by Jim Rohn
How dramatically we can change our results is largely a function of imagination.
In 1960, it was a technological impossibility for man to travel into outer
space. Within ten years, however, the first man stepped out onto the surface of
the moon. The miraculous process of converting the dream into reality began when
one voice challenged the scientific community to do whatever was necessary to
see to it that America "places a man on the moon by the end of this decade."
That challenge awakened the spirit of a nation by planting the seed of possible
future achievement into the fertile soil of imagination. With that one bold
challenge the impossible became a reality.
- The Same Principle Applies to Every Other Area of Our Life! -
Can a poor person become wealthy? Of course! The unique combination of desire,
planning, effort and perseverance will always work its magic. The question is
not whether the formula for success will work, but whether the person will work
the formula. That is the unknown variable. That is the challenge that confronts
us all. We can all go from wherever we are to wherever we want to be. No dream
is impossible provided we first have the courage to believe in it.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
