UNSTOPPABLE

 

When a group of two hundred executives were asked what makes a person
successful, eighty percent listed enthusiasm as the most im­portant
quality. More important than skill. More important than training.
Even more important than experience.

 

Before water will produce enough steam to power an engine, it must
boil. The steam engine won't move a train an inch until the steam
gauge registers 212 degrees. Likewise, the person with­out enthusiasm
is trying to move the machinery of life with lukewarm water. Only one
thing will happen: that person will stall.

 

A. B. Zu Tavern asserts that en­thusiasm is electricity in the
battery. It's the vigor in the air. It's the warmth in the fire. It's
the breath in all things alive. Successful people are enthusi­as­tic
about what they do. "Good work is never done in cold blood," he says,
"heat is needed to forge any­thing. Every great achievement is the
story of a flaming heart."

 

You may have all of the skill, training and experience you've ever
need. Add enthusiasm to those assets and you will be truly
unstoppable!

Doubt is nothing but a thought you choose to have. Just as easily as you choose to have doubt, you can choose to let it go.

Doubt has no power other than the power you give it. Yet the power you give it can be enormous.

When you focus on doubt, your problems and limitations become greatly multiplied. When you give yourself to doubt, your resources and abilities lose much of their value.

So why would you want to hold yourself back in this way? There's really not even a single good reason.

As soon as you sense that doubt is pulling you down, make the decision to leave it behind. Remember that each doubt is your own creation, and once you stop sustaining it, it will no longer be.

Choose to walk away from doubt. And you'll set yourself free to achieve great things.
