What are you waiting for?
The road to success is a never ending battle that one must first overcome, by facing the problems head on and taking key opportunities away to enhance one’s own abilities. When one erects a house from the ground up; he must have a solid foundation in order, for the house to become sturdy and to withstand any inclement weather. A person must have the same thinking process of building a house to become successful in life by possessing five essential values to build a strong foundation; integrity, commitment, loyalty, compassion, and responsibility. I will be discussing the two main principles for a strong foundation.
Most of us don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what poor values are and how they affect our lives; we simply adopt them almost imperceptibly. Often we have to knockdown the old foundation to replace it with the truly important positive values; but if we have already established strong values, and just need a minor touch-up, it is foolish to replace the entire foundation. If the foundation is strong, we can simply add some reinforcements and keep building on the good start we have made. One must remember a value is a principle that you consider worthwhile or desirable.
The cornerstone of your foundation and most important block in the whole house is integrity. When you lay a strong foundation and forget to install integrity, your whole house will eventually come crashing down. One must build a legacy by living and acting truthfully in their daily lives. When one loses his integrity in dealing with business adventures, it will be hard for him to regain their trust.
Next a person must have a rock solid commitment, which is the second most valuable part of their house. Commitment is your character trait that causes you to do the tough things now, and to look further down the road for rest, relaxation, and the rewards. When one is committed on improving his lifestyle; he might wake up early and start the work day early, stay later to see things through the end, and making more business calls to enhance his business relationship. It is your commitment that convinces you to push towards your goal, when you can’t push no more it is your dying desire to push even further in order to accomplish success.
A person can always improve one’s character traits by doing what comes natural to him. One must never forget that building a strong foundation, will take you further down the road to success. Once there he must always reinforce or daily touch- up to his foundation in order to maintain his edge. He must always have faith in his own abilities, to see things through the end and not to give up once there.
