If
we are involved in a project, how hard should we work
at it? How much time should we put in?
Our
philosophy about activity and our attitude about hard
work will affect the quality of our lives. What
we decide about the rightful ratio of labor to rest
will establish a certain work ethic. That work ethic
- our attitude about the amount of labor we are willing
to commit to future fortune - will determine how substantial
or how meager that fortune turns out to be.
Enterprise
is always better than ease. Every time we choose
to do less than we could, this error in judgment has
an effect on our self-confidence. Repeated every
day, we soon find ourselves not only doing less than
we should, but also being less than we could.
The accumulative effect of this error in judgment can
be devastating.

FORTUNATELY, IT IS EASY TO REVERSE
THE
PROCESS ---
Any
day we choose we can develop a new discipline of doing
rather than neglecting. Every time we choose action
over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing
level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence.
In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves
that provides the greatest reward from any activity.
It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is
what we become in the process of doing that brings value
into our lives. It is activity that converts human
dreams into human reality, and that conversion from
idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can
come from no other source.
So
feel free to not only engage in enterprise, but also
to enjoy it to it's fullest along with all the benefits
that are soon to come!
To
Your Success,
