Rules of Success #16, 17, 18

As mentioned in my first post on "Rules of Success", success leaves clues. Here are three more simple guidelines (rules) to help in your pursuit of success. 

THINK BIG!

As our SFI slogan says, "Aim High and Dream Big!" Small desire produces small results, just as a small fire produces little heat. Another popular saying is "Go big or go home". You get the idea. If you want big results, THINK BIG and don't be afraid of failure!

"Fortune favors the bold but abandons the timid." -Latin Proverb

DON'T MAJOR IN MINORS

Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the positives...and the "big picture."

Also remember that the only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes (especially in today's rapidly evolving world).

Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible and to adapt as needed.

"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. Not you." - Jim Rohn

DON'T BE A NEGATIVE THINKER

Your attitude determines your altitude in your life, so make sure it's positive! And don't let the negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you. All the great men and women in history had to overcome the naysayers (AKA "Dream Stealers") who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself and believe in yourself! 

"If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad." -Denis Waitley

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." -William James

"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change." -Earl Nightingale

Don't be unrealistic, but as the old song says: always "accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative". Follow these simple rules, along with the others previously posted, and you will find success in all you do.
