There is no such thing<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> as surrogate success!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">You are the key&#8230;You are the secret to achieving your own<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> success.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">With those truths firmly in mind, let me be so bold as to tell you another Truth of Life&#8230;If you ever truly plan to become successful,&#8230;to reach the top levels of high achievement,&#8230;you have got to learn what to properly do and then get to work and do it for yourself! Don\u2019t expect someone else to do the work for you&#8230;.You do it for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You see, the fact is, that if you allow other people to do the work for you, you are only robbing yourself of the knowledge of what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. As a result you never learn what to do or how to do it. <strong>Therefore, if another person actually does the work for you to succeed, then you still remain ignorant of the requirements and therefore do not know how to accomplish your desired success. You therefore cannot adequately teach and train other people what and how to do what needs doing. You will not only fail to grow any bigger than you presently are,&#8230;you will also soon completely lose that which has been gifted to you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When you learn what to do and how it is to be done, then you can maintain what has been created; and continue to grow your accomplished success to even higher levels. Through God\u2019s Holy Design there is something almost magical that happens within your own being when you know for certain that it was you who did the work and kept it going. This magical something then empowers you to keep it up and accomplish more as you gain more knowledge and expertise because of your own experience and efforts. All of these blessings and benefits are lost to you and your future if you sit back and expect or demand that someone else does the actual work of creating success for you. In short,&#8230;<strong>If you don\u2019t personally do the heavy weight work of accomplishment, then you continue to remain ignorant, unproductive, and therefore impotent as regards any further honest and legal achievement.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>No one achieves real and lasting success all by themselves. One is too small of a number with which anyone is able to accomplish true success. It always takes more than just yourself.<\/strong> Because these statements of truth always are the case, real achieved success involves more than one person. As a result, interpersonal relationships must obviously come into play. Relationships must be established and then developed. Such relationships are developed over a long period of time. Consequently they are individual and separate for each and every person with whom they are developed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Fact: You cannot effectively transfer personal relationships to<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> other uninvolved participants.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The truth of the matter is that you will establish and grow your personal relationships on your own efforts. Each relationship will be individual and separate from all others so established. Everything,&#8230;thoughts, deeds, and actions&#8230; will be established differently for each and every conjoined personal relationship you develop with those other people with whom you work to accomplish your desired success. And for those developed relationships to continue to work and perform, they must be grown with the same persons originally joined into the relationship from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Fact: You cannot have a personal relationship with a dead person.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For this very reason you should always remember that truly successful people <strong>never alienate other people who do not need to be alienated!<\/strong> Always endeavor to maintain and strengthen those relationships you have worked so hard to develop. They will, in the end of things, become some of your greatest assets and blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I tell you two more Truths of Life:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">1. You cannot develop a personal relationship with other people if you<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> are never around them or never have regular communication with<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> them. Physical togetherness is an absolute requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2. Good and lasting personal relationships are two-way streets.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Another person must want and need a good personal relationship<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> with you as bad as you desire to have such a good relationship<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> with them if such a good and lasting personal relationship is ever<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> to be created and developed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">One Final Point&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">As you travel your own road to success, many decisions and judgement calls are going to be required of you. <strong>Always remember that no one single person (except God) knows everything, and&#8230;that Truth of Life, of course, includes yourself.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Surround yourself with good and righteous men and women who are more learned, more intelligent, and more experienced than are you.<\/strong> As decisions, ideas, and opportunities are presented to you from outside sources, whatever they may be&#8230;<strong>draw from and use the accumulated intelligence of your developed mentors and counselors.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">While it is most usually the good and right thing for you to \u201cfollow your own heart,\u201d or to \u201ctrust your own decisive judgements\u201d,&#8230;use caution and wisdom when making these \u201cchoices or changes.\u201d <strong>Before making a decision or change&#8230;thoroughly think things through.<\/strong> There always seems to be some \u201cunintended consequences\u201d or some \u201cother conditions and considerations\u201d that should be full well analyzed before final action is taken on your part. That is what a mentor and a team of counselors is in place to help you do. Success is a very big and important undertaking. Be wise. Use the combined talent, knowledge, wisdom, and experience of other close friends to assist you in making important decisions. You will not only be glad that you did so, you will also save yourself lots of financial resources, time, headaches, and heartaches in addition to valuable personal relationships. Of course, it goes without saying that you should always pray about the selections that you need to make before making them. It is the \u201cwise person\u201d who always leaves room for God to be part of their decisions and actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Whenever you place blame for your own circumstances or failures in life on someone else, you immediately lose control of the situation and can therefore make no corrective actions because you cannot control another human being. However, as all true leaders well know,&#8230;when you the leader, the responsible person, takes full blame upon yourself, whether it is justified or not as to being the actual cause of the existing failure or shortfall situation, you thereby maintain full control of the situation and are thereby fully authorized to make needed changes and adjustments to correct it and turn the failure into victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The actively performing, and personally responsible person to any activity or situation is always the one who remains in total control\u2026.of himself or herself.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So,&#8230;be personally responsible. Be fully accountable to all the involved parties. And always leave room for God to be part of all of your actions and decisions. That is how the real champions in life get good and righteous things done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Peace and Love to All of You&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..Poppa Bear<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stop Waiting For or Expecting Someone Else To Do Things For You Success,&#8230;in anything,&#8230;is not and never will be a spectator sport.
