The Best Way to Excel and Do Well At Anything
Is To Cultivate A Love For It
.
Love And Exuberant Zeal Propel
Happiness and Success.
People who are at the top of their profession or calling truly love what they do and devote their entire life, their soul, their being to it.
They are determined to be the best. Lasting, remarkable success doesn’t happen by accident or with sloppiness.
Star performers have decided to be different in some way, to add a new artistry, invention, dimension, perspective or approach to their endeavors.
They are not just the same as everyone else and better. They are different, creative, distinctive.
Preeminence has its perils. A top coach complained success had made her hard because of the back biting, infighting and sabotage within her sport. Jealous, envious people can be very hateful.
Your colleagues are competitors. You can’t count on affirmation, support or admiration from people you consistently beat. Hurt causes hardness, sometimes even hatred.
Protect yourself from pain and be happy with your success without becoming hard. Reposition your attitudes, view bad antics as sick, dysfunctional and pathetic. Feel sorry for them.
Envy and Jealousy Are Marks of Losers!
Embrace the love you feel for your sport, endeavor or profession. You are the best because you have worked harder and added more than the others.
Truly successful people look at great performers, admire them, support them, emulate them and try to learn all they can from them. Losers discredit, devalue or subvert winner’s successes.
There’s a reason why winners rise to the top while losers stay stuck below them. Backbiting, infighting and subversion become more important than love of excellence and the endeavor.
There’s a huge difference between striving to deliver an exceptional performance and wanting to beat someone. Winners love to embrace the very best, losers often try to hurt. Expect people you beat to be unhappy.
Don’t look for affirmation or admiration from competitors. It will come from people who appreciate what you do, understand how hard you work and have hearts as strong and as good as yours.
