Compassion by Zig Ziglar

Zig On…

Compassion

One incident can change us forever. In the last century a rich boy and a poor boy lived in the same neighborhood. The rich boy wore nice clothes, lived in a nice house and had plenty of good, nutritious food to eat. The poor boy lived in a cheap house, wore ragged clothes and did not have much of anything to eat. One day the boys got into a scuffle. In the struggle the rich boy won. The poor boy got up, dusted himself off and told the rich kid that if he had the proper food to eat like the rich boy did, he would have won. Then the poor boy turned and walked away. The rich kid just stood there. He was numbed by what the poor boy had said. His heart was broken because he knew that it was true.

The rich boy never forgot that experience. From that day on he revolted against any favored treatment because he was rich. He made it a point to wear cheap clothing; he intentionally endured the hardships faced by the poor. His family was often embarrassed by the way he dressed, but despite family pressure, that young boy never again took advantage of his wealth.

History omits the name of the poor boy, but the rich boy who developed such a compassion for the poor made them his life’s work. His name is recorded in history. He dedicated his life to service and became a world-class physician, serving in Africa. His name was Albert Schweitzer. I’m not suggesting that we all be as selfless as Albert Schweitzer, but I do believe that we need to be more in tune with the thinking and feelings of others. Very few people have had as much impact on the world as Albert Schweitzer. Even fewer people have gotten as much satisfaction out of life as he did. Think about it and I’ll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Zig Ziglar is a motivator and teacher. He is the author of 27 books and loved by millions of people world wide for his practical wisdom and his gift of hope.

The Success Principles 5

In today's Success Principles Mentorship Message, you'll
learn how to identify what you want--and begin taking steps
to get it.

Have you ever made a list of what you want from life? From
the kind of career you work at to the kind of income you enjoy
...to your relationships, your health, your vacations, material
possessions, spiritual well-being and more?

If you haven't, it may surprise you to know that simply
deciding what you want is the often first and most important
step to getting it.

It's true. Our brain is a goal-seeking organism. In fact,
scientists now know the brain uses its own reticular activating
system to filter through the millions of images, sounds,
impressions and other messages we receive each day - to let
into our conscious mind only that information we need to
survive or meet goals we have identified.

When you decide what you want, you instruct the brain to start
looking for information, resources, opportunities and other
ways to achieve the "want" you've identified. While this may
sound like an impossibility given your current situation or
circumstances, we've seen countless individuals "suddenly" get
what they want--often from a source or opportunity that already
existed in their life or sphere of influence. They had just
never instructed their brain to find it before.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?

To help your reticular activating system begin finding YOUR
wants in unexpected places, take time now to decide what you
want in the following seven areas. Don't hold back! And forget
about whether YOU think it's possible for you right now.

Turn to page 25 of The Success Principles book - Principle 3:
Decide What You Want -- for explanation. Then click here to
download a simple form you can use to document what you want
out of life.

Download the form:
http://www.thesuccessprinciples.com/resource/TSP-DecideWhatYouWant.pdf

Jot down anything and everything you've dreamed of being,
doing, owning or having. Then don't be surprised when it shows
up in your life!

FINANCES - Write down how much income you want to make, how big
your savings account should be, what your investments will be
like, when you want to pay off your mortgage, how much you'll
want for your children's college education and so on.

CAREER/BUSINESS GOALS - Write down your dream career or the
dream business you would like to own. Write down in vivid
detail what you want a typical day to be like. Write down the
kind of people you would like to work with and so on. What is
fulfilling to you?

FREE TIME/FAMILY TIME - If you could have any amount of free
time or any kind of family experiences you wanted, what would
they be? Jot them down now. How many days off a year do you
want? What kinds of vacation experiences and trips do you want
to go on? What would your hobbies be if you had all the free
time and family time you wanted? What kinds of special events
would you attend?

HEALTH/APPEARANCE - If you could look, feel and act exactly as
you wanted, what would your health and appearance goals be?
Would you lose weight? Would you wear designer clothes? Would
you eat healthier...even have your own private chef? Would you
overcome a chronic illness or medical situation you are in
right now?

Write down now what you want in terms of your health and
appearance.

RELATIONSHIPS - We all thrive and live more fully when we're
surrounded by people who love, appreciate and empower us.
Decide what kinds of relationships you want in YOUR life. Is it
someone to love, a fantastic relationship with your spouse,
better bonds with your children or siblings? And what about
your professional associations? Do you want phenomenal mentors,
important friends, powerful business associates or other
influential people in your life? Decide now who they are.

PERSONAL GROWTH - Do you want to be better educated or become
a more powerful, confident person through personal growth?
Decide now what you want to learn and know. Or perhaps you seek
greater spiritual knowledge or teaching...or simply take a yoga
class and get more balance in your life.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE - Do you want to volunteer for the Peace
Corps or donate millions of dollars to your favorite charity?
Do you want to mentor others, befriend a group of needy
individuals or otherwise make a difference in the world? Decide
now what you want your role to be.

REMEMBER THIS...

Whatever you want from your life, remember that what you want
WANTS YOU! It's merely a matter of first deciding, then
watching incredible opportunities and fulfillment show up in
your life.

In tomorrow's Success Principles Mentorship email, we'll even
give you a powerful strategy for accelerating the goals you've
identified above. Until then, take time now and enjoy the
process of deciding what you want!

See you tomorrow!

The Success Principles 4

By now, you've made great strides towards becoming more
successful.

In today's important segment of The Success Principles
Mentorship Program, we'll look at completing the past so we
can embrace an even more exciting future.

One of the activities we recommend for all success students
is to clean up your incompletes and your messes - so you can
actually make room for more opportunity and abundance to come
into your life. You can read more about why this strategy works
in Principle #28 of The Success Principles book (page 208).

We know of countless people who have experienced new romantic
relationships, increased business, and enjoyed better physical
health and other amazing benefits, simply because they took
time to "clean out the old" from their file drawers, garage
shelves, clothes closets -- and heart and mind.

You can, too.

We'll see you tomorrow with another mentorship message.

The Success Principles 3

It's Jack Canfield here again with another important segment
of The Success Principles Private Mentorship Program.

Have you ever thought that maybe - just maybe - you're here on
this planet for a much larger purpose than the role you're
fulfilling now?

Have you ever really discovered what your unique purpose is?
Or thought about what career counselors call your "right
livelihood"?

In Principle #2 of The Success Principles book - "Be Clear Why
You're Here" - I write that successful people take the time to
understand their life's mission and to determine what they're
here to do. They then pursue that role with passion and
enthusiasm.

Have you completed the Life Purpose Exercise on page 23?

If not, do so now:

1.) List two of your unique personal qualities such as
"enthusiasm"and "creativity."

2.) List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities
when interacting with others, such as "to support" and "
to inspire."

3.) Assume the world is perfect. Describe it as you see it -
what are people doing, how are they interacting, what does
it feel like?

4.) Combine your three answers above into a single statement
such as: "My purpose is to use my creativity and enthusiasm
to support and inspire others to freely express their
talents in a harmonious and loving way."

You needn't make it poetic or flowery. Just use words that are
important and inspiring to you in describing what you believe
is your unique role in the Universe.

This exercise will be important in completing many future
Mentorship modules. But first - in tomorrow's message - we'll
look once more at the past, completing it before moving on to
embrace the future.


We'll see you tomorrow with another mentorship message.

The Success Principles 2

It's Jack Canfield here again with another important segment of
The Success Principles Private Mentorship Program.

In Principle #26: Acknowledge Your Positive Past, I said that
research shows over and over again the more you acknowledge
your past successes, the more confident you'll become in taking
on new challenges and successfully accomplishing them.

That's what successful people do.

They confidently seek out and accept new opportunities for
advancement because they have the confidence of a lifetime
of much smaller achievements.

Have YOU made a list of the successes you've achieved in your
life? If not, turn to page 197 of The Success Principles now
and begin by dividing your life into three parts. Then jot
down what YOU learned over the three stages of your life.

You'll discover you know more about success than you
previously thought. Be sure to keep this list and refer back
to it whenever you need to remind yourself about your ability
to achieve success at any endeavor.

We'll see you tomorrow with another mentorship message.
