Getting Along With Others

Certainly there are things you can accomplish alone. And yet, there are many, many more accomplishments that will come from working with others. Certainly there are joys and insights to be found in solitude. There are many more joys and experiences, and much more knowledge to be gained from interacting with others. Each person in this world is unique, and still we all share things in common. That beautiful situation makes it both challenging and immensely rewarding to work, to play, to love and to live with others.

Life can be so much richer when we experience it in harmony with those around us. The other people in our lives can be the source of many of our greatest joys. They can also be the source of our most difficult problems. As such, it is crucial to the very quality of our lives that we make our relationships with others as positive as possible.

The quality of genuine fellowship, of positively sharing life’s experiences, of finding common ground, of working together with others, is something that can add value to every aspect of life. As with other things of value, relating successfully to others requires effort and commitment. While some relationships seem to grow effortlessly and naturally, others require some work to get going and to maintain. All positive, productive relationships deserve the effort and commitment necessary to keep them healthy.

Forgiveness Is Essential

This is the seventh of the seven words of success; you must learn to forgive. That is difficult for many if not most people. Forgiveness is difficult, especially if you were wronged.

However, forgiveness is still essential. You must forgive for your own sake. Lack of forgiveness will eat you up inside and bitterness will overtake your life.

Forgiveness is difficult. Forgiveness is manditory. Think about it.

Forgiving must be learned.

Enjoy Making The Effort

Enjoy Making The Effort

Enjoy Making The Effort

What really makes effort undesirable for you is the energy you put into fighting against it, into resenting that you have to do it, and into wishing that you were already beyond it. But what if you chose to simply let all that go, to accept and even embrace the effort? Imagine actually enjoying the effort. Can you do that? Of course you can.

The empowering fact is, you can decide what is enjoyable and what is not. When you enjoy what you’re doing, everything changes. First and foremost, you immediately eliminate a whole lot of stress, frustration, and other needless negative energy. That in itself improves your life in a powerful way. Plus, when you enjoy what you’re doing, you’ll do it much more creatively and effectively. By choosing to enjoy the effort, you’re able to get more value from that effort and also able to get the job finished more quickly.

So, how do you do that? How do you get to the point where you can enjoy the effort you’re making? A big part of the answer comes from simply reminding yourself that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by choosing to enjoy what you’re doing. Take a step back and look objectively at your situation. If you were advising someone else in that same situation, what would your advice be? Very likely, you would advise that person to enjoy the effort because there’s every reason to do so, and no good reason not to. So simply take your own advice.

Another effective way to get yourself to enjoy the effort is to jump in and quickly begin making the effort. You’ll find that it’s not nearly as distasteful as you previously imagined it to be. Plus, you’ll quickly feel the satisfaction of making progress and of making a difference.

Focus your awareness on the positive rewards that you’ll create, for yourself and for your world, by getting the work done. There’s a good and meaningful reason why you must make the effort. After all, if there were no reason you would not have to do it. Zero in on that reason. Make the connection between the effort and the positive, valuable things it will create.

Imagine how helpless and dependent you’d be if you were not able to make any kind of effort. That would indeed be a frustrating and unfulfilling way to live. You are truly fortunate to be in a position to make effective, value-producing efforts. Sure, those efforts can often be inconvenient, tedious and uncomfortable. And yet, by going ahead and putting the best of yourself into them, you can create achievement and fulfillment on a scale that’s limited only by your imagination.

Making the effort will make a major difference in your world. Get yourself okay with it. Choose to embrace and enjoy it. Then get going, get busy, and get some spectacular achievements in the portfolio of your life.

THOT 4 2 DAY — 05.17.12

by RTOL on 2012/05/17

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible. — Sir Douglas Bader, a British fighter pilot who lost both legs in a flying accident, but still fought in World War Two. He was knighted for his work with the disabled, and the quote above is from his talk to a 14-year-old boy who had lost a leg in a car accident.
