yourself. What is your relationship with yourself? Do you like who you are? If not, what are you doing about it? When I say that you have to be before you can do, and do before you can have, notice that I said you in front of be, do, and have. This is because I’m talking about the relationship you have with yourself and how it translates into you having the things in life that constitute success. I want to help you get acquainted with who you really are and share some things with you that will help you grow to like yourself better. It’s important that you like yourself, because if you don’t, who will?
Your ability to get along with other people is an indication of who you are and how you feel about yourself. You have to be the kind of person with whom you and others are comfortable. The more you respect yourself, the higher the standards you set and the greater your integrity which enables you to do the right things. When you do the right things, you are more likely to have good relationships with others, and more success in general.
LAYING THE FOUNDATION
There are six characteristics that comprise the foundation stones of your life and your success. The six characteristics are honesty, character, faith, integrity, love, and loyalty. All of these foundation stones are necessary to create a Wheel of Life that is balanced and will produce the kind of success I’ve described. In my eighty-five years of living I have learned that people who compromise any of these principles usually end up with only a beggar’s portion of what life offers them. I’ve seen people acquire money through dishonesty and deceit, but their friends are few and they lack true peace of mind. The business professional who alienates his family in his climb to the top is not a success. People who have no faith in something greater than themselves can only rely on themselves in times of great difficulty. The longer I live and the more successful people I meet, the more convinced I become that these foundation stones are the most critical success weapons you have in your arsenal.
