Leadership in Action - US English - 202204

confidence in themselves seem to always fall far short of reaching their dreams. One fact that should give everyone hope is that passion, hard work, persistence, and faith in oneself will always outperform intelligence, good looks, a great education, or wealthy parents. It is of significant importance to realize that these traits that make up the successful person are the result of their choices. In other words, we can always decide to exercise these traits or to respond in this way. You can often accurately predict how someone you know well will respond to any given situation. But that does not mean they are predestined to or must react in that manner. It just means that they tend to be consistent in their choices. It is refreshing to see someone break out of the mold they have previously created for themselves and to decide to begin to respond differently to life’s situations. Such a change is obviously very difficult to make, as it seldom happens. When it does happen, it is a day worth celebrating. We are extremely grateful for the tens of thousands who constantly exercise hard work, persistence, and other principles of success. Indeed, we owe our success to them! We agonize

over how to help those who dream about success but who do not choose to exercise the principles that would create it. After 36 years of observing and working with those who consistently experience success as well as with those who consistently experience failure, it is clear that the only difference is the daily choices of the one versus the other.

Sincerely,
