If Success is Sensible then Failure must be funny.

If Success is Sensible then Failure must be funny.

Sure we all want success and happiness and health and wealth, but do we take that all too seriously?

A great Thanksgiving/Christmas movie is Planes, Trains and Automobiles which stars John Candy and Steve Martin. (If you haven’t seen I suggest you rent it today.) All that Neal Page (Steve Martin) wants to do is to get home for Thanksgiving. His flight has been cancelled due to bad weather, so he decides on other means of transport. As well as bad luck, Neal is blessed with the presence of Del Griffith John Candy), Shower Curtain Ring Salesman and all-around blabbermouth, who is never short of advice; conversation, bad jokes, or company. And when he decides that he is going the same direction as Neal....well they get into a whole lot of mishaps. At the end Neal just has to look back and laugh.

You know when you goof around with friends and you hit your funny bone which doesn’t really feel that funny but you are laughing anyway because of the crazy faces your friend is making?

Did you notice that while you are laughing it doesn’t really hurt that much? You don’t feel the pain.

Laughter is the best medicine because it does more then cheer you up…

* Your lung capacity expands, improving respiration and oxygen consumption

* Your immune system is activated - so you can better fight infection. Your body releases more of the protective T cells that fight virus and cancer cells

* Endorphins - your body's natural painkillers - are released into your brain, decreasing stress.

Laughter helps us get through the physical pain and it reduces mental pain!

When you laugh, you feel more hopeful and optimistic.

When you laugh, you say to yourselves - and to the world - "I REFUSE TO SUFFER!"

Laughter helps us survive the most terrible situations like grief and disappointment. You will come out on the other-side a stronger, better, kinder person.

To every situation there is a funny side you just have to be on the lookout for it. You need to stop trying to be perfect, take a step back and be able to laugh at yourself and the things around you more often – and just laugh more.

Why Set Goals?

Jane and Dick started a bakery; they put all their time and money into the business for 6 years. Sales had their highs and lows. Then they divorced. Jane took over the business as Dick just wanted out. It was time for Jane to re-evaluate the situation and the future of her life and her company.

A man aimlessly floats from job to job, not knowing where he will end up next. He has no direction, no goals, and no plans. He only knows he wants to have wealth and success, he just doesn’t know how to go about getting it.

*With the aid of a small magnifying glass you can teach yourself a great lesson on the value of purpose. Through the use of such a glass you can focus the sun-rays on a definite spot (which represents purpose) so strongly that they will bum a hole through a plank. Remove the glass (which represents goals) and the same rays of sun may shine on that same plank for a million years without burning it.
Setting goals is all about the journey and becoming a better version of yourself.
When you set a goal to run a business or lose weight, or when you set a goal to get a degree or a promotion, you arrive a better person a more experienced one from when you started. You have learned and you have succeeded.
That's what "goals" are really about - what they make of us in the process of achieving them. That's why we bother.
We set goals not for what we GET, but for what we BECOME.

Passion

Vitalizing your mind with a burning desire will attract you to people who will be able to help you. Is your desire far above your present circumstances in life? You owe it to yourself and to the community in which you live to set a high standard for yourself. All great leaders base their leadership upon a desire or purpose. People will follow a leader when they know that their leader is a person with a purpose and who has the courage to back up that purpose with action.

If success depends upon power, and if power is an organized effort, the first step in the direction of organization is a defining purpose. Therefore a defining purpose is essential.

Until you select a defining purpose in life your thoughts are scattered over so many subjects and in so many different directions that they do not lead to power, but to indecision and weakness.
