This morning I read a book by Brian Tracy on setting goals. The book spoke of a story. A few years ago, there was a president of the chamber of commerce. He was retired. He told his story at a table. He was one of the most respected businessmen in the United States. He was recognized for having very high performance and standards that everyone in the same field would like to have.
He mentioned that he wasn’t as successful when he was young. He was always in a bad mood and easily angered. One day, he found a message written on the brown lunch box. People read it and post it on the high school bulletin board. When it happened, he was able to read the message as follows: “Success in your life is a direct proportion of what you do, having done what you are expected to do.”
He told the audience that this message changed his life. In the past, you thought that what you did was already okay. He already did what he was told to do. But after that, he promised himself that he would do more than he expected to do. He promised to do or be more than he was paid. From that day on, he woke up a little earlier, worked a little harder, and stayed up a little later. Then move faster from job to job and customer to customer. The faster he moved, the more experience he had. As a result, he received more pay and was promoted faster than others.
This story gives us some thoughts on the pace of its progress. The faster you move, the more jobs you can do. Your career too. The gentleman mentioned in the story had his new strategy. He did more than he was paid. He did more than other people had expected. He got busy. He advanced. He took action and wasted no time. He never looked back.
We can also apply this story to our lives. Do we do more than we are expected to do? Do we contribute significantly more than what they pay us? If not, ask us “why not?”
If you can do what is mentioned in the story, the result will be more rewarding than you can expect. When this practice becomes your habit, it will be more efficient and effective. You will move faster than other people. Since we are in the world of relativity, we can achieve more fortune just by being a little better than everyone else.
We can apply the law of attraction to this story by visualizing ourselves as the one who gives more than receives. You visualize that you work and move faster. Visualize yourself producing more results than your bosses or clients expected. By exceeding the expectations of others, you feel proud of yourself. He achieves more than the rest of the people in his field and is grateful for it. With this visualization, we vividly communicate to your subconscious mind about your goal of being a person who gives more than expected. The subconscious mind will attract into your life circumstances and attributes that are favorable to your goals. You will be more efficient and you will be able to achieve your goal according to the law of attraction.
Success is not accidental and it never will be. This article talks about a short success story and how to apply the law of attraction to the essence of the story.
