LOOK
FOR THE GOLDEN NUGGET
I often
suggest that my coaching clients and audiences read books
that will stimulate their minds and give them ideas for self-development.
Several times I've had people say to me, "I've read lots
of those books and they all seem to say the same thing."
This is true, except HOW they say it is often different.
There
are universal principles for success that have been around
for thousands of years. I have a quote on the wall of my office
that says, "Day by day, what you choose, what you think,
and what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your
destiny." The Greek poet and philosopher, Heraclitus
said that in 500 B.C.
I've seen a similar message in several of today's books, but
it was related to different examples. I've had clients share
the same awareness with me that, although they may have read
the same lesson earlier in their life, it had a whole new
application to the life they are living today.
One idea
from one book can have a major impact on your success -- but
you never know in which book you might find that one idea.
Therefore, the more quality books you read (or listen to)
the better chance you will have of finding a golden nugget
that could change your life.
ACTION IDEA:
Find a
book this week that offers ideas for self-development. Create
a daily success habit of reading (or listening) for a certain
amount of time -- such as fifteen minutes or a half-hour.
One of the best ways to improve your chances of doing this
is to wake up a little earlier in the morning to read. You
will begin your day by stimulating your mind and you will
possibly discover new ideas to enhance your life.
