ThE WIll TO SUccEEd: AcTIvATING ThE NINE qUAlITIES TO AchIEvE YOUR POTENTIAl- Move forward in spite of fears. Courage is the mastery of fear
- you do it anyway, even though you have fear.
- Face challenges head on. Commit to pursuing your goal even if
the fears become reality. - Be ready and prepared to respond to obstacles. Then protect and
defend as best you can. - Change when you need to. Courage is not needless suffering.
Make your goal big and meaningful enough that you find an-
other way, a how, if the first fails. - Certainty of your Self and your convictions. The questioning
voice is sure to start squawking sooner or later. Be steadfast. - Take initiative. It takes mental and emotional practice to step over
your normal boundaries. Even small steps build that muscle.
Being in business means facing risks. This induces fears. Ask for advice,
be realistic, do your homework, prepare, feel fear... and do it anyway.
Allowing fear to hold you back starts you down a slippery slope where
doubt, worry and anxiety control you. Your progress slows or stops, you
become less effective, and your self-confidence takes a dive.

honor
This is the grace of Venus that keeps you connected to others
There is a fable about a shepherd boy who, to enjoy the spectacle of
everyone rushing to help him, cried “Wolf!” when there was none. Frus-
trated, nobody came when one came for his sheep and he cried “Wolf!”
This is about honor.
Honor is about personal responsibility and trusting yourself and others. It is
something you feel pride in giving and as a privilege when receiving.
You have honor when you
- Know and focus on what serves you emotionally, physically,
and spiritually. - Treat yourself and others well, kindly, and with forgiveness,
readily accepting and giving support.
