There are 5 abilities everyone needs for personal development.  It is a proven fact, your success is directly proportioned to your personal development.  The more personal development the more success you attract to yourself and your business. 

The first ability:  THE ABILITY TO ABSORB or in other words to "GET IT".

There is nothing worse than being stupid.  Not having information to make intelligent decisions is really bad.  Nothing worse than that unless you're broke too.  Being stupid and broke that's really bad, unless you're ill as well.  Now being stupid, broke and sick now that's really, really bad.  That's about as low as it gets, unless you want to through in ugly.  Now that's ultimate negative lifestyle scenario, ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

Get it whatever way you can...books, CD's, DVD's, seminars, even life experiences.  Get it whatever way you can.

Second:  To respond...LET LIFE TOUCH YOU

Let happy things touch you. Sad things touch you.  We need to be affected, we need to moved, we need to impressed.  It's not what happens to us that is important but it's how we respond that is important.

Third:  REFLECT ON YOUR EXPERIENCES

At the end of the day reflect on who you saw and who you met that day.  What did they say?  How did they feel?  How did you feel?  The end of the week, reflecting on the highs and lows of the week.  Reflect at the end of the month, reflect at the end of the year.  What did you do? What did you experience?  Reflect on how I would do things the same way or would I do them differently.  Keep a journal.  Reflect on your experiences and invest them into your future.  For instance, a 75 year old man would invest his experiences into the next year, now that's 75 years of experiences invested into the next year.  Wow!  Now that's an investment for living.  Instead of saying, well I'm 75 now, I think I can just hold on for one more year.  No, that's not living.

Fourth:  LEARN TO ACT

Don't live "the get by life".  Spend this capital you have put together from the first three.  Without action they are worthless.  You must put into action what you've learned.  Don't be like the man with $1 million in his bank account and all he does, is write $1.00 checks.  There is no action or it's the wrong action.  Don't be that guy.  Write bigger checks invest in your self.  Action translates into a human reservoir of abundance.

Fifth:  SHARE IT ALL

Have a life process that is giving more than you receive.  Live in abundance and share that with others.  Look at Andrew Carnegie he made $400 million and gave it all away.  Look at it this way, you have a full cup.  can you pour any more in the cup?  No, not until you pour some out.  Some people have their cups upside down, nothing can get in and nothing can get out.

Sharing acts in your own self interest.  If you give it's an investment.  This investments muliplies it will always return more than you gave.

What is good life? Living abundantly, living productive, investing in ourselves by improving our minds, giving more than we receive.  It's not living stupid, sick and broke.  You can be ugly and still live an abundant life.

HAPPY TRAILS,
