PRESCRIPTION- READ EVERY DAY OR AS NEEDED

Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe
personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about sales growth, profit
growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without
personal growth. It's really the open door to it all. In fact I'd like
to have you memorize a most important phrase. Here it is, "The major key to
your better future is YOU."

Let me repeat that. "The major key to your better future is YOU." Put
that someplace you can see it everyday, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at
the office, anywhere where you can see it everyday. The major key to your
better future is YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think
about it. The major key is YOU.

Now, there are many things that will help your better future. If you
belong to a strong, dynamic and progressive company, that would help. If the
company has good products, good services that you are proud of, that
would certainly help. If there were good sales aids, that would help, good
training would certainly help. If there is strong leadership that will
certainly help. All of these things will help, and of course, if it
doesn't storm, that will help. If your car doesn't break down, that will help.
If the kids don't get sick, that will help. If the neighbors stay half way
civil, that will help. If your relatives don't bug you, that will help.
If it isn't too cold, if it isn't too hot, all those things will help your
better future. And if prices don't go much higher and if taxes don't get
much heavier, that will help. And if the economy stays stable, those
things will all help. We could go on and on with the list; but remember this,
the list of things that I've just covered and many more - all put together -
play a minor role in your better future.

The major key to your better future is you. Lock your mind onto that.
This is a super important point to remember. How do you develop an above
average income? Simple, become an above average person. Work on you. Develop an
above average handshake. A lot of people want to be successful, and they
don't even work on their handshake. As easy as that would be to start,
they let it slide. They don't understand. Develop an above average smile.
Develop an above average excitement. Develop an above average
dedication. Develop an above average interest in other people. To have more, become
more. Remember; work harder on yourself than you do on your job. For a
long time in my life, I didn't have this figured out.

Strangely enough, with two different people in the same company one may
earn an extra $100 a month, and the other may earn a $1,000. What could
possibly be the difference? If the products were the same, if the
training was the same, if they both had the same literature, the same tools. If
they both had the same teacher, the same compensation plan, if they both
attended the same meetings, why would one person earn the $100 per month
and the other person earn the $1000? Remember here is the
difference...the difference is personal, inside, not outside, inside.

You see the real difference is inside you. In fact, the difference IS
you. Someone once said, "The magic is not in the products. The magic is not
in the literature. The magic is not in the film. There isn't a magic
meeting, but the magic that makes things better is inside you, and personal
growth makes this magic work for you.

The magic is in believing. The magic is in daring. The magic is in
trying. The real magic is in persevering. The magic is in accepting. It's in
working. The magic is in thinking. There is magic in a handshake. There
is magic in a smile. There is magic in excitement and determination. There
is real magic in compassion and caring and sharing. There is unusual magic
in strong feeling and you see, all that comes from inside, not outside. So,
the difference is inside you. The real difference is you. You are the
major key to your better future.
"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe
in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find
happiness that you had thought could never be yours." --Dale Carnegie
