"If you question your ability, then all you do is
develop your ability to question"

by Stephan Bourget
Why do only some succeed, while others fail? Is it because some
quit too
soon? Is it a lack of faith, commitment, focus, or special skills?
This question has perplexed many throughout time. Perhaps the answer can
only be answered inside of a person.
What makes things move in and out of fashion, popular, then not, then
popular again?
If quitting were the problem, then we say, "never give up." If faith,
then,
"believe only." If commitment, "be self-sacrificing." If
focus, "define your
goals." If special skills, then "practice makes perfect."
How is it that a person arrives at their time to succeed? What is it about
one day that was not true of the other? Why can two people look at a forest,
while one sees a fearful place, while the other sees trees felled and
lumbered into boards, a house built, land cleared, and a thriving and
fertile estate, built from the same forest?
Is it only perception? Then, "let us see the good and dare to dream."
Is it
also courage? Then, "let us march forward, though fear bristle at the back
of our necks."
How much of all of this is destiny and how much is our own choice? If we
choose to act with failure mannerisms, have we then caused our own failure,
or were our mannerisms destined against us?
Is knowing the right choice enough? What force is it that makes us act
errantly, when we already know better? Knowledge cannot save us in the day
of our sorrow. Learning is a disatisfying companion if we are dreadfully
lonely. Clear thinking may avoid us when pressures mount and multiply
against us too quickly. And even when the plot is well-mapped, a little
procrastination can destroy much good.
Make your upline rich today, for, how can you do it without making yourself
rich? Make your downline rich today, for, you also make yourself rich
thereby.
Can a group, determined to make each other rich, ever really fail? Is not
personal productivity our gift to others and theirs to us?
