Proactivity

The proactive approach is to change from the inside-out:  to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there--I can be more resourceful, I can be more diligent, I can be more creative, I can be more cooperative.

Mellowed

Edgar, father of nine, reflected on how he had mellowed over the years: "When his firstborn caughed or sneezed, I called the ambulance. When the last one swallowed a dime, I just told him it was coming out of his allowance.

Visualization

Top athletes, such as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Jenner and Greg Lauganis, attribute a great portion of their success to visualization techniques.  And Eastern European countries have long dominated the Olympics due to their superior mental conditioning through visualization. The winning athletes always go over their performance in their imagination before they actually do it.

Law of the Harvest

Our true rewards in life will depend on the quality and amount of contribution we make.  From the Scriptures, to science, psychology, to business, the documentation is the same.  "As we sow, we reap."  "You shall know them by their works."  "You get out what you put in."  "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."  "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
