Who are most courageous people in world? Armed services? Coastguards? Astronauts? Firepersons? Explorers? Mountaineers? ……Sports? For us, most courageous people in world are those who are committed to discovering how they can get best out of themselves. Individuals, who are committed to learning about and changing, their habits and beliefs in order to fulfil their dreams. Individuals, who are fighting dreaded disease of complacency. Complacency is one of deadliest diseases you face in your life. It stifles growth. Kills companies. Destroys economy of your Country. Changes and destroys your relationship with your partner, friends, children and colleagues.
If you:
have a feeling of self-satisfaction.
find you are low in energy and enthusiasm.
have become unaware of danger, trouble, or controversy in your life.
find it difficult to accept positive criticism and acknowledge your mistakes.
take ages making a decision, especially those that will change your future or may be unpopular.
go through day with an attitude of ‘ that’s good enough’ or ‘that will do’.
Then, in a nutshell, complacency has you in it’s hands and is destroying you. Complacency is taking away your spirit. How do you overcome complacency? What’s treatment? Napoleon Hill says treatment is: Control Your Own Thoughts. “You are searching for magic key that will unlock door to source of power; and you have key in your own hands, and you make use of it moment you learn to control your own thoughts.” The magic key is NOT to focus on and control your negative and wasteful thoughts but to develop your necessary and positive thoughts. Negative and wasteful thoughts, like blame and worry, have no useful purpose. Their job is to reduce your energy and your potential. To make you weaker than you really are. Therefore DO NOT concentrate your thinking on your weaknesses because more you think negative and wasteful thoughts further and further you will get from your potential. You cannot change negative thoughts to positive ones.
