Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Today's Health Tip Helpful Ideas for Mind, Body, and Soul Thursday, October 28 2004 from DayZines.com [extraneous advertising removed] The Forgotten Rule Men and women throughout the world have thought about improving their lives in one way or another. They may have even found some motivation, for a short time, and believed in themselves and their cause. But soon after, they forgot one of the most important rules of success and long-term happiness, and their drive to go soon came to a screeching halt. The simple rule of giving up. No, I'm not talking about giving up on the goal, what I mean is they expected change without giving particular things up. For example, the woman who wants to get her degree has to give up time, money, and certain luxuries that before were common. The man who wants to get in shape has to give up eating unhealthy foods and unhealthy habits. We live in a society that searches for instant gratification, immediate results, and get rich/healthy/happy quick programmess. While the majority of those people are left to wonder why they can't change, you and I will be well on our way to growing in every part of our lives, simply because we know the secret. Short-term sacrifices, for a happier more successful long-term. When you are working towards your objectives day to day, remember that change takes time, work, and learning. If results came quick, they wouldn't mean much to us. It is the uphill battle that brings the most satisfaction, and not coasting downhill. Remember the rule of giving up, and soon you will have all that you have worked for and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
