Mastering the Art of SuccessYes. I think it’s important for people to raise the bar on themselves
every day. Look at your life and understand and know y ou are greater
th an you give yourself credit for being; you have talents and abilities
you haven’t even begun to reach for yet.
Jim Rohn has a quote I love, “When the end comes for you, let it
find you conquering a new mountain, not sliding down an old one.” So,
therefore, we have to raise the bar on ourselves constantly and assess
ourselves.
The other thing is I believe it’s important we ask for help, not
because we’re weak but because we want to remain strong. Many
people don’t ask for help because of pride. “Pride cometh before a fall”
because of ego. E-G-O means edging G od out.
I think that you also have to ask yourself, what is your plan for
being here? Most p eople take their health for granted; but living a long,
he althy life is not a given—pain is a given—you have to fight to stay
here. You have to have a plan of action to stay here. So what is your
plan f or being here? Put yourself on your to-do list. Develop a plan of
action on how you’re going to take better care of yourself and spend
more time with people you care about. Focus on living the goals and
dreams you’ve envisioned for yourself that are the calling on your life.WRIGHT^
Down thro ugh the years, as you’ve made your decisions, h as faith
played an important role in your life?

Yes, faith is very important. I think y ou have to believe in yourself,
believe in your abilities, believe in your dreams, and believe in a power
greater than yourself. There’s a quote I love whic h says, “Faith is the oil
th at takes the friction out of living.” Do the best you can and leave the
rest to a power greater than yourself.
