[acb-hsp] Eight Ways to Take More Effective Control of Your Life

[Mmorrowfarrell at aol.com]

Good resource.  It is equally important to remember when running a  race 
that like the ancient races not only must you reach the finish line but you  
should reach it with the torch you carry still burning and your relationships 
 still intact.  Never sacrifice another human being or a good relationship  
in order to attain an individual goal.  You may find in the end that the  
other humans on the planet are your backbone and that you need them no matter 
 what.  Never step on other people to attain your goals.  Do what you  will 
but bring harm to no one...just a few thoughts. ~ M. Morrow-Farrell,  DD.

Eight Ways to Take More Effective Control of  Your Life.
by Thomas S. Parish , Shay Mahoney
This paper, entitled,  "Eight Ways to Take More Effective Control of Your 
Life," provides
some  sound ideas regarding how to become more effective and efficient in 
your  actions
and your attitudes, by developing certain "choice" behaviors that  should 
help you
to avoid much stress and achieve greater success.
Almost  everybody seeks to develop a recipe for success. What follows is 
what  the
authors consider the "best of the best," for these ideas should be like  a 
slipper
that fits all, no matter if you're short or if you're tall.
1.  Always ask yourself what you want. Then ask yourself if you really want 
it,  and
are you ready to do whatever it takes to get it.
2. Always ask  yourself if what you want is achievable. As Henry Ford once 
said, "If
you  think you can, or you think you can't, you're absolutely right!"
3. Always  give 100% of yourself, and never settle for anything less than 
your  best.
If you continually do your best, you will more likely win.
4. You  must let go of the negative past if you really want to have a 
positive  future.
5. Focus on what you want, and don't allow distractions to  interfere, 
i.e., keep
your eye on the target if you really want to hit the  bull's eye.
6. Once you have attained what you want set new goals. After  all, life is 
thought
to be a journey more than a destination, so never  think that you "have 
arrived."
Instead, just "enjoy the trip."
7. Always  look at stumbling blocks as stepping stones instead.
8. Preparation for  success is never easy, but through preparation you will 
be ready
to achieve  it when the fight opportunities present themselves.
"Do you really feel the  need to succeed? Remember only you can make the 
choices that
are needed in  order to take more effective control of your life. All of 
the ideas
offered  above are in accordance with William Glasser's "Choice Theory" 
model  (1998),
"Reality Therapy" model (1965), as well as his "Quality School"  model 
(1990). If
you are seeking other good sources, you might wish to go  to any of these.
