Often times, knowing what not to do is just as important, if not more important, than knowing what to do. Either way, the road to success is always running along the line of doing the right and righteous thing. There is simply no way to accomplish real success by doing or performing wrong, incorrect, or unrighteous work efforts. <strong>At the end of all of your efforts, doing things with total honesty and integrity in the right and proper manner and way is the only way to do them,&#8230;if you truly desire to achieve great success that will last.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">All that said, it goes without further comment that one first must know what the right and righteous thing to do is, before he can really begin to start accomplishing the \u201cthings\u201d that need to be done which will allow the achievement of one\u2019s chosen area of success. <strong>The wrong thing done perfectly is still the wrong thing to do! Wrong things never achieve long-term success.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">May I say to you,&#8230;that whether you agree with or like what I am about to tell you really makes no difference. <strong>The truth does not change with circumstances, weather conditions, or events.<\/strong> Truth always has been and always will continue to be the absolute truth,&#8230;with or without your personal approval or agreement. <strong>So if you are to succeed by doing the right and righteous thing, a person must first gain the knowledge and understanding of what that concealed right thing to do really is!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Discovering the right thing to do right from the \u201cget-go\u201d of any given mission or work assignment may not always be the easiest of things to accomplish. Using the \u201cTrial and Error\u201d method of solving situations, is always the most difficult, time consuming, and costly way to learn. Such a method is a sure-fire way to learn what the right thing really is. To simplify the procedure of trial and error, you should spend some time with your personal counselor in deep discussion and conversation. Doing so will be of great benefit to you. Your counselor\u2019s own evaluated experience\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">will not only provide you with vitally needed information as to what work should be done, but, more importantly, can eliminate a lot of your doing wrong work efforts resulting in many failed attempts. You may gain such knowledge and understanding by simply asking yourself, before beginning any type of work, the easy question of <strong>\u201cIs This The Right Thing To Do?\u201d<\/strong>&#8230;or<strong> \u201cIs This The Wise Thing To Do?\u201d<\/strong>&#8230; before you start charging off in the direction of your dreams and goals&#8230;before you begin attempting to perform a wrong or incorrect activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It may sound a bit juvenile, but there really is no need to attempt to do something in order to achieve your chosen level of success if you are fully or even remotely aware that what you are attempting to do is not the right thing to do,&#8230;or is an incorrect or unrighteous thing to attempt to do. <strong>There really is no need to do something or attempt to do it,&#8230;if&#8230;.you know in advance that what you are considering is not a good and godly thing to do to or for yourself,&#8230;or for any other human being.<\/strong> By knowing what is the wrong thing to do, you can easily eliminate a lot of unnecessary or improper work effort in your quest to achieve your desired success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Narrowing the field of choices as to what you are to do to achieve your own success allows you to best utilize your own efforts and resources in doing or attempting to do more of the right things required to achieve your own success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>It takes good people to learn, know, and accomplish the right and righteous things in life<\/strong>. Bad, unwise, or foolish people rarely, if ever, know what the good and godly things in life are and how they can be implemented into the honest efforts of any human being who desires to become honestly successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">We know that people who don\u2019t know what needs to be done to accomplish lasting success will never be able to teach another person what to do to achieve that same success,&#8230;<strong>It is plainly clear that an individual must first become a wiser, more learned person, i.e\u2026.<\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a good person<\/span>, before he will ever be able to learn and know what must be actually done to enable him to become a highly successful one.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A Truth of Life is simply that,&#8230;<strong>you as a human being will attract to you what you are,&#8230;not what you want.<\/strong> Therefore to become successful in life, you must first grow yourself into becoming a much better person than you presently are. Education, proper social etiquette, good behavioral manners, correct usage of the English language in written as well as spoken form, and good personal hygiene and appearance&#8230;all play critical parts in the process of you becoming your own best self!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Let\u2019s first look back so that we have a reference point from which to look forward. When you were first born,&#8230;first delivered into this world for all to see and admire, you had some major shortcomings. You see, as gifted and exceptional as you were most probably called by your parents and grandparents,&#8230;the truth is that you couldn\u2019t do too much or accomplish anything of any great value to yourself, other people, or the world as a whole. You couldn\u2019t take a spoon in your hand,&#8230;you couldn\u2019t dip the spoon into a bowl of cereal and then put the spoon into your own mouth.<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You could not speak at all,&#8230;just make some noises that parents defined as great English speaking abilities. You could not even say Dad or Mom or Poppa or Grammie. You could not write or print one single word. You couldn\u2019t even control the movement of your own fingers,&#8230;.at the very beginning of your personal life on this earth! You didn\u2019t even know the primary colors. Furthermore, you couldn\u2019t stand on your own two feet, or sing a song or make change for a one dollar bill. You were in pretty sad shape when compared to those older, more mature \u201cgrown up\u201d other children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So if you just happen to stumble upon a rather successful and independent \u201cgrown up\u201d adult who has just happened to have learned how to stand on their own abilities, speak proper English sentences, button or zip up his own buttons or zippers, and write real letters,&#8230;then you have definitely found someone who is a borderline genius!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Just stop for a moment, think about how far you have come in the world since your meager beginnings as an infant. Just think about how much you have learned,&#8230;how much you have grown and changed, and how far you have come to understand what you need to know to become successful when it comes to living your own life, and achieving your definite major purpose for your own life.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You have so very much going for you,&#8230;you can do anything you set your mind to do or accomplish,&#8230;IF&#8230;you are willing to go to work and keep on working until you finish the job you started. <strong>You are a very brilliant human being. Some of the greatest dreams and biggest goals, you now have, together with the biggest problems you need to solve,&#8230;are nothing of significance when compared to what you have already accomplished.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">To complete the job ahead and go onto the highest levels of success, you just need to stay actively involved in pursuing your own dreams and growing yourself. <strong>You just need to grow into being your very own very best self!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Allow me to suggest that you immediately sign up and become a Premier Member to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davesevern.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.davesevern.com<\/a> as doing so will definitely speed up the process of knowing more about what you should be doing to grow yourself personally.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Your future has never looked bigger and brighter than it does this very day.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Peace And Love to All of You&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Poppa Bear<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best thing about longevity is that it gives you the chance to gain some of your most valuable experience while simultaneously learning what not to do or what not to attempt to do.
