The longer the advance time you can invest in your success, the greater the payoff will be. All the extra energy and effort will pay off down the line, if for no other reason than that there is much less competition.
Most people are oriented to an immediate payoff. They can’t financially afford to wait, or they aren’t emotionally capable of being patient. It’s estimated that only one person in ten will put effort into anything unless the payoff is within a year’s time. It follows, then, that only one of the ten is emotionally capable of investing time, energy, money, or sacrifice into something that won’t be profitable for five years of longer. Meditate upon your willingness to invest the effort and energy for a future payoff. Consider writing this simple reminder and putting it in places where you’ll see it regularly: “I spend each moment doing the most productive thing I can.” Let this statement from you to yourself become your affirmation for success.

Although you probably don’t realize it, strong behavioral patters have been established in your past. A good place to begin exploration is in your primary relationship patterns that continue to emerge. For example, the moment your mate is critical of you, you close down and refuse to communicate. Or when you are finally assured of your mate’s love and dedication to the relationship, you become bored. there are common patterns of manipulation, including resistance, affairs, neglect and more.
An example of a career pattern is allowing only a limited level of success before doing something to cancel it out. Another is allowing frustrations to build up until a change is enacted. If you discover strong life patterns that work against you, realize that they will continue to surface and rule your life until you make a conscious decision to change. To alter your patterns of behavior, you must break the fearful chains of illusion that keep you bound to undesirable past programming. It begins with awareness and a self-actualized viewpoint. Change Your Life! Peace and Light, Dick Sutphen |
