The Two Choices We Face








Each of us has two  distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice  we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To  have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves  less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices  that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of  wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice? To  do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we  possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as  we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly  can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be  or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be  a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure  of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the  best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life  objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will  permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest  of undertakings.
Results are the best  measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification.  Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they  should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day  before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great  value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they  have become.

The Millionaire Booklet by Grant Gardon

This great book by Grant Cardone summarizes the steps that you should take in order to achieve financial success. Below I outlined the main points that I took from this book. As with any summary, I believe it should be used as a refresher, as a list of guiding points that help remember the contents of the book. To fully understand and apply the following points, it is highly recommended to actually read the book. It does not replace the actual experience of reading the book, nor is it intended to. You can purchase “The Millionaire Booklet” (Audible/Hardcover)  here . or you can grab it for free by visiting this link  https://m.me/BenjieMalino Getting rich is about offense, not defense. Step 1. The Millionaire Decision. You must make a decision that you will become rich. Millionaires are today’s new middle class. The idea of having just enough money or not enough is insane and ridiculous. Settling for mediocrity is selfish because you can not take care of others i...

The Miracle of Personal Development by Jim Rohn

One day my mentor Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job." Since that time I've been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime. You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, "What am I getting?" Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today. I've also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back t...

Seeking Out Quality People by Les Brown

It is important to align yourself with what I call OQP, Only Quality People. You should endeavor to surround yourself only with people who will enrich and empower you, people who will enable you to transcend yourself and to grow. This sort of support group, your pit crew for progress in your life, can strengthen you in moments of weakness and bring you up when you are down. Surround yourself with people who share your vision and who also are willing to support you in pursuing that vision. You cannot make it alone in this journey. If you find relationships that are not mutually constructive, if someone brings you down rather than challenges and elevates you, then you must make a decision. Can you transform this into a healthy relationship or do you need to sever it? That does not mean of course that all of the people around you should be your yes-men. You will never grow if you are surrounded by backslapping sycophants. Although I hate being criticized by friends, I do have som...
